Poorly Play III - the roles have turned

As predictable as a clockwork tin-bot when the kiddywinks get the lurgy, the carers get something dreaded too. So here I am with a pile of snoterchiefs, Lemsip’d up until I giggled, and having to keep a very-much-better-thank-you child entertained.

It’s at times like this, when creative thinking seems laughable, that I fall back on old favourites. Those activities that have worn a track in my mind since childhood. Like colouring in, snap or eye-spy. As play-professionals, you too will have games to regress to too; somedays we just have to be comfortable with being good-enough.

The problem is, though I enjoy sitting down with a kid for a bit of solidarity with the “I absolutely must do colouring-in now” brigade, I really can’t never-ever stand eye-spy.
