Heat wave!

Time to teach the children to "play" it sounds like. There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to entertain themselves with what you have available.

To add variety add something to what they show interest in to expand the play such as some new dress up clothes or accessories for the farm or garage centres.

Do more group activities such as baking - but make popsicles to have for afternoon snack or jello for lunch tomorrow - nothing you actually have to turn the oven on for.

Get the rowdies out by turning on music for dancing but add some scarves (wash clothes will work instead if need be).

If you are without air conditioning and only have three you could put them in bathing suits and into the bathtub with a couple inches of water and play for a bit. Make use of fans if you have them to keep the air moving in the playroom. Read stories, colour, get out puzzles and other quiet games to save them from overheating. Staying home and finding ways to keep cool and calm will be better than trying to go out somewhere as the getting there and the getting home defeats the benefits of being there.
