At this stage, I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home with our twins.

We go to kinder gym, one day a week, and twin play group the other .

We used to fill in one morning with grocery shopping, which they enjoy, however little tanties are making that quite difficult.

I feel quite a pressure (brought on by myself) that I'm the primary early educator for our cherubs, so I'm always mindful of that when I plan the days learning activities.

All is going well (touch wood) I wonder however how many hours you spend with your toddlers in structured play ? Mine will happily have independent play with each other, for ages !

I think particularly Messy play is one I think my toddlers are missing out on, as it takes me forever to change the linen, let alone a painting easel !

How much 'actual' time do you sit and play with your toddlers ?
