Sometimes, there are situations that require emergency activities to keep little ones occupied. Yesterday one such situation arose. I needed silence for a telephone meeting that was set to last about ten minutes. So about five minutes before the meeting, I emptied the biggest rubbermaid container in the house, squirted some baby shampoo in it, and turned on the hose.Big B helped me line up the vehicles waiting for little b's 'car wash,' and little b was primed and ready with a sponge and washcloth. Mission Emergency Activity: successful!

Hey, I've got some emergency activities, too! :)
I make activity packs to keep on hand for situations when I need my kids to play independently for a while. Each one usually costs $1 or less. I just posted an article about it:

BTW, I've linked to your blog in an article on outdoor classrooms. It will probably be published later today.
