I agree, some days it's hard. I have a young group too, 1-3.5 so I find activities don't really work or if I start something it last a few minutes then it's onto something else. I'd love some ideas too. We have a general base line I follow. 8:30-10:00 we do free play with some directed play, legos, puzzles etc then snack, then an activity like outside if it's nice out or a craft, 11-12 and then 12 lunch, 12:30-2:30 naps, 2:30-3:00 snack and outside rain or shine until pick ups. If the weather is totally nasty then I do another couple activities or a reading time till parents pick up. It's just finding the activities that's hard!
