Hi, I'm looking for some ideas for activities that are good for quiet, sitting still times for school aged kids, eg in the evenings. Often they're tired but still want something to do. I'm after suggestions that will be soothing rather than stimulating, so I'm thinking things with a sensory, repetitive or even spatial aspect, but nothing "hard" or complicated. Suggestions?

So far I've thought of:
Detailed colouring/mandalas
Tangram puzzles
Finger knitting/entry level crochet
knitting nancy
Pompom making

Anything else? What do your kids do in the evening?
