Provider led activities

[gcj]

Freeplay takes up a good portion of our day here. And when they ask what they can do during freeplay I remind them of all the toys around them and encourage them to play a game with their friends (house, restaurant, blocks...whatever) They get used to it, as mine are. I also am not a big "player". It's very good for kids (and us) to know how to play on their own and not constantly need to be entertained.

We have periods throughout the day where we go outside, storytime, craft/activity, etc, but freeplay is freeplay and we do a lot of it!
