What do occupy the kids during playdate? I usually let the kids find out themselves, but sometimes it can hit a snag. So out come the water-guns - they are almost always a hit.
Playing 4-in-1-line together...
Playing chess together...
Feeling hungry... time for some snack... peanut-butter and bread... our guest asked only for water, although we offered chocolate milk. Just love him, such a good influence for J, eating so healthy by his own initiative :-)
I made edible playdough, but they decided to play with normal playdough instead, which was also fine.
Boy, our guest has a very high attention-span, and they played with playdough all the way until it was time to go home...
So creative, this is a sub-marine, made by our 6 years old guest :-) Pretty sophisticated, wasn't it? And J? He was just keen to make only noodles with playdough... which was also fine...
This is one of the more successful playdates, where the boys had similar interests... and could eat for a long time playing with physical toys... For some of the playdates, the kids just want to play computer games and iPAD, and thus for the most part of the time during the playdate, their eyes were just on the screen, not much interaction.
