Au Pair in America

live-in child care and cultural exchange.

Activity Ideas:

Fishing at home (for children over 3)

Look around the house and spend some time with the child finding things that will stick to a magnet. Tie a piece of string to a stick. At the other end of the string tie a magnet. Put paper clips and other things that are magnetic in the "pond." Or cut out paper fish and put a paper clip on each one.
