Zen is sometimes great at playing alone, other times just hopeless. He has a big box of blocks that he loves to pull them all out of. he has two activity tables, one in his room and on in the lounge so walkking between teh two to play them he enjoys. he loves to throw little rocks into a bucket of water (although this isnt a non-supervised activity obviously!)
I've got a palypen so sometimes he is in there with some toys while I do washing etc.
*what about making some playdough? he'll prob eat half of it but apart from the salt it wont hurt him.
*a roasting dish & wooden spoon make a fun drum kit!
*dustpan and brush keep them occupied and its just the right size for them

signature - just got my msg. There was alot of issue with this when I was in the TTC after m/c or loss thread. images that are beautiful to the parent but very confronting to others were not allowed and it was causing dramas. oh well, most of you are on my fb and get to see plenty of Zen.
JLeigh - if you look at Zenography on fb you can see some pics of Zen

visit - i am pretty much free anyday. we just need to work on a locality.
