Quiet-Time Activity for Little Ones


Spend some quality quiet time with your child with this simple outdoor activity. Just take a blanket, pillows, and some books outside -- and relax!

  • Books
  • Pillows (optional)

Directions

  1. After lunch on a hot summer day, spread out your blanket in a shady spot under a tree.
