Childminders club - activites totake to parents house that is not too expensive or bulky

[JELLYJELLY]

Hello all,

I will be doing a spot of babysitting at a parents house for alot of children (10) shared help with a couple of other adults.

Apart from painting, glueing and sticking and playdoh any ideas on what else i could take to the house for the children to play with.

I will not be buying any extra special stuff but need a bit of help

Children range from 2-8yrs.
]Thanks
)

games board and dressing up, a sheet for making a den

I could take reading monopoly for the older children but dont have many games for the younguns.

Any other ideas?

What about jigsaws or doing some baking?

Books and puppets

Dominoes, Bingo, ISpy (you don't need any resources for that!), make paper puppets, threading beads for bracelets etc lacing cards....

Big pieces of card/paper, rulers, pencils or pens - get older children to design own games (you might need to supply dice).

Make menus, play shops/restaurant (use tins/packets from cupboard), draw and cut-out own playfood (all the stuff to go on pizzas?)

Draw round hands and feet - cut out, compare sizes etc. Colour them in, decorate etc.
