Busy Or Quiet Boxes For Children

From a point of complete hypocrisy and an inability to stick to a schedule or routine, I say the following: sometimes the best way to cope as a stay at home, work at home or work out of the home parent - so basically, a parent - is with planning (see the hypocrisy? I certainly don't manage it most of the time!)  I love the idea and think if you can get yourself organised, you'll have much easier a time of it day to day. And when I saw "you"....

Anyway, in theory, you basically have abox of 'quiet time' activities for each child for each day of the week, thereby rotating toys and having everything you need ready to go at the drop of a hat. I guess you could take the idea further and have different style boxes for each day - for example busy boxes, noisy boxes, outside boxes and so on, depending on how your days were scheduled.  It's a great, great idea!
