A 2 year old naps in my house or they find another care giver. I'm sorry, but this is my business and my routine and I'm not changing it for each individual client, i'd have 5 different schedules if that was the case. Can you imagion? Working around 5 different sleep/eat schedules?
To answer your question... TV while I eat and relax. Then depending on the child I will set up a book corner (if I feel the child may need to dose off) play doh, colouring. Quiet time is all about bordom. It's all about not stimulating them.
So, as much as I understand why you're looking for new and fun ideas, it complete changes the point of quiet time. Do an hour of TV then switch them to the table for an hour of books, colouring and play doh. If they don't like it, they can lay down on the couch until everyone else is up. This is a great opportunity to teach respect towards the young ones. Computer is a good one for the older kids too. If you're in a position to keep an eye on them. My 3.5 year old loved some of the education youtube videos or playing around on the sesame street web site.
