Use a digital kitchen timer for each child. That way the 15 or 20 minutes they are required to do their activities won't seem like the hours of miserable eternity :lol: To a child sitting at a table playing quietly alone, and others in the living room they most likely feel like they are missing out ...

Re: Art Supplies

I went to a few yard sales and picked up old national geographics for .25 each. I would ask people in your church if they have 4-6 they could donate.

Re: Homeschool Dads :)

I run an at home daycare which prevents me from leaving my home. My husband on his days off will take our daughter to all of her 4H or Horse riding meetings, field trips, even doctor visits. I would be lost without him :D
