Give them a camera and get them to be 'official photographers' for the afternoon. A digital camera saves on film and a toy version saves on the camera! My 6-year-old daughter loves taking snaps and later we put them up on the computer and print out a few of the better ones. A nice memento of the day. While you do the 'boring stuff' they could go around the garden and find things you need. Make a list of railway useable stuff, like twigs (for fences and walls), smooth stones, odd shaped rocks, or before-hand hide a few items and give them a treasure hunt/scavenger-hunt. The list can be words and pictures or they can find something and rush back to an adult for the next stage. Sweeten the pot with a few goodies like candy or their favourite small toys. My daughter enjoys collecting interesting stones amongst the gravel and using them to decorate bits of the garden. She hunts for 4-leaf clovers and collects pretty flowers, or just the petals for potpourri. Matthew [bow]
