Play date ideas?

[FusionChefGeoff]

Doing a childcare swap with a friend in the holidays so I will have 2 x 6 year olds and 2 x 4 year olds to entertain all day on Monday.

I have been gathering boxes etc for a mass junk modelling session

We're doing make your own pizzas.

Any other easy / set it up and leave them to it ideas??

something outdoors, depending what's within reach. Park, walk, treasure hunt.

When we've had 6yo play dates they prefer to have a 15 second play with every toy in the house in turn, and then dump each one on the floor. I just live the mess

Easter egg hunt or decoration.

I'm a cm so frequently have these ages. Popular activities that mine enjoy:

Lego building competitions

Games such as buckaroo/hungry harry(that all ages can join in)

Drawing/stickers/play dough/painting

Playing in a den (pop up tent or sheet over chairs)

Trip to park/playground

music on for some dancing

Good luck!

Cheap white t-shirts, fabric pens, fabric glue, off-cuts, ribbons and gems for t-shirt decorating,
Leaf rubbing
Hama beads for the 6 year olds
A good film!
Scavenger hunt
Playdough or salt dough
Grab a ball of string or wool and some tape and head to your hallway. Create a Mission Impossible style maze and the aim is to make their way from one end to the other without touching the string.

Oh yes some great ideas!

We've got tonnes of crafty things so illl do them all a big flat Easter egg to decorate.

Dens and dancing sound good but not sure I could cope with the string obstacle course - I'd probably get stuck in it!
