I am struggling with this situation too right now. I have twin 7 yr old boys full time over the summer, and the rest of the kids are between 1 and 4. They have such different "likes" it drives me crazy. One boy would sit and play video games all day if I had any kind of game system (he has wii, ds, etc at home), and the other wants to play with other kids but none of the younger ones can keep up or understand how to play! He also likes to craft, but now only wants to do creppy/scary crafts since he is too "old" for everything. Bottom line - both of them say they are bored because there are too many little kids here. Younger kids are so much easier to entertain! I am scrambling to keep thinking of ideas of things we can do with the age mix. Too many kids to go anywhere, and even if we did go out, they age ranges are too vast to pick an acitivity everyone would enjoy or be able to do. Any suggestions for what I can do for the last month of summer with these "big" kids?
