Ahh.. quiet time. As a mom, is there really anything better? Kidding, kind of šŸ˜‰ My five year old started half day kindergarten about a month ago so she is home from school before my youngest goes down for nap. So now we are in that weird in-between stage where she isnā€™t quite ready for an all day school but also too big for a nap and sometimes struggles to play alone. So when the younger one goes down, she engages in some ā€œquiet timeā€ where she loves to read, play with toys, and do arts & crafts. This might be my favorite time of day because I can either get a few things done without interruptions or I can spend some one-on-one time with my oldest. There is definitely a trick to keeping your child busy during the oh so precious “nap time”.


One of best things you can do for them during this time is to offer toys that encourage imaginative play, creativity, and role play. All of these things are sure to keep them independently busy and will help to develop their cognitive and emotional skills. One of the toys we love the most for this is the PLAYMOBIL playsets! They offer everything from realistic figures like police and firemen to fantasy mermaids and fairies. Plus, all of their sets are high quality, a great value, and have amazing detail! Gracyn’s current favorite is the Ā DreamWorks Spirit Riding Free by PLAYMOBIL.

The two Gracyn currently plays with the most are the Abigail & Boomerang with Horse Stall set and The Vaulting Solana set. She loves brushing the horse and feeding him the vegetables. She also likes to reconfigure the stable, horse trot, and hang up the saddle. She is so creative and I love watching her imagination run wild! They offer a ton of other PLAYMOBIL Spirit sets as well with endless possibilities!

All of these PLAYMOBIL playsets can easily be found at Target both in stores and online. You can view all of their products here or by clicking on the picture below.

A few of these sets include small pieces that I donā€™t set out when her little sister is awake and playing too. So itā€™s kinda like a treat that she gets to play with these during her quiet time and she gets super excited about them. There are so many PLAYMOBIL sets, you are sure to find one that interests you and your child…and letā€™s be honest, one that will save your sanity! You got this, mama!
