One thing we enjoyed this week in Tot school was to make a "mat man" with the wooden letter pieces that our 4 year old uses to learn her letters. These are sold through Handwriting without Tears to teach letter formation. This activity entertained him for quite some time.
This last activity was intended for the toddler and preschoolers, but how much fun the older kids AND their homeschool friends had. The 5 - 7 year old crowd actually had more fun with this than the younger ones. It is very simple :) Get a tupperware container of water. Put some dish soap in it for bubbles. Get a bunch of kitchen tools out of your cupboards that they can measure, scoop, and pour. And voila! You have instant recreation for at least an hour - who needs expensive toys?!
