Please give me your best advice to keep dd busy at work

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
So I had to bring my dd with me today, she is 3 and I need help keeping her occupied. I work at a univeristy and I have a small-ish office. I have to prepare for class in about three hours, and then after that I have to work on a proposal.

Please help me keep my sanity

Not sure how you feel about computer time, but I sometimes set up my DD @(2.5)'s preschool DVDs on the laptop. It keeps her busy for a very long time. good luck!

I can buy an hour with:

1. Small collection of wind up toys, cars in my office
2. Colouring on the whiteboard with whiteboard markers
3. Colouring on office paper with office supplies
4. Harold and the purple crayon on hulu
5. Drink, snack

After an hour you will need to evacuate office, do rounds with coworkers, go potty, examine surroundings, check out cool hardware or other devices that you don't have at home. At this point you may return to your office for round #2.

All day in a small office is very tough. I don't think you get to keep your sanity, sorry.
