Activities to do at Grandparents

Hi, I am looking for some recommendations of activities/things to do for my DS aged 2. I work 4 days a week, he goes to my parents once a week, my in-laws once a week and nursery twice a week. He isn’t napping at his grandparents though, meaning he falls asleep on his way home in the car. Making our evenings very difficult. I think a huge part of this is due to him having nonstop screen time and being over stimulated. I don’t think either grandparents are up for anything extravagant. We pay for them to go on days out every so often but can’t do it every week. Any easy activities that can be done at home would be great! Thank you!🥰

They are quite young grandparents so should have plenty of energy to play with a 2 year old. Do you know why the TV is constantly on? Can you ask them not to have it on while they look after him, how would that go down?

Caring for a toddler can be tiring esp if he doesn't nap

Most villages and churches have M&T

Post on local Fb group to ask for any activities locally

M&t
Parks farms
Library many so music sessions free soft play

If financially you can't up nursery days then swap to 4 mornings with nursery then grandparents take them home for afternoon nap
