Hi,
I'm on mat leave and once the baby arrives will be home with my 3 year old and the new baby. My son will start play group in September for a couple of hours a day, but I would like to get a bit better at coming up with activities to help fill the time when we're home together. If anyone has any suggestions of books of ideas/resources that would be great. So far I've been planning on water/sand play, cooking together, setting up a little garden with him and obviously arts and crafts but a few more would be great. Has anyone used any early numbers/letters books with their 3 year old? I don't want to push him but he definitely has an interest in letters and numbers so it might be fun to encourage him. His childminder has always done such a great job with all manner of different activities and I've definitely swiped some of her ideas, but I guess I'm just trying to get prepared!
