– Making play dough and playing with it (for the 3 oldest children)

– Blowing bubbles or looking at the effects of them outside (this can quite exciting even for the 10 month old)

– Ripping coloured paper and pasting the pieces on another piece of paper (white or black paper).

– Reading storybooks to and with the children.

– Singing and dancing using streamers for dancing and pots, pans and wooden spoons for musical instruments is an all time favourite, too.

I guess the biggest challenge here is SUPERVISION at all times and expecting low concentration spans (especially for the youngest children). Their little minds will wonder off after 5 – 10 minutes, but they may resume the activity later.

OR.. if she had a kiddie pool (they don’t cost much) She could have a mini pool party with little toys and such and take pictures of them all in their little swimsuits assuming she stays with them the whole time.

OR.. If she gets them all sitting down in one place at the same time (which will be hard to do)-maybe put the little one in a high chair? She could do a puppet show for them from behind the couch or a chair-They would love it! After wards they could have a little snack just like they went to a real show!

Maybe you could take them to the park and let them play. That would be something all of them could do, but it would require more than one adult.

That is pretty hard because of the ages.

Good Luck!
