The older kids make a blanket



I am used to entertaining preschoolers toddlers and babies, but preteens are a whole different ball game. It takes a lot to keep them busy when they are used to playing video games and watching tv all the time. While the babies slept, I got them to work on a tie blanket. That kept them busy for about 30 minutes. Of course, it looks nothing like the ones adults make, but they did it on their own, so they were proud of themselves.
