Have the older children create an attendance form. It's a free and imaginative way to keep the children entertained. On a large poster board, allow the children to create an attendance form where they learn to recognize their own names. When they come to the daycare, they place a sticker next to their name in the in column and another one in the out column whey they’re picked up. It’s free and the children learn a little about responsibility.
