RAISING several young kids at once requires the ability to multi-task.
One mom revealed the simple method she uses to multi-task that allows her oldest child to occupy himself while she attends to her youngest child.
The savvy mom of two, named Celena Kinsey, revealed the four easy activities she sets up for her oldest child in a video posted online.
“For my parents of multiple children, this is for you,” she gushed at the top of her video.
“Here are some things I always have on hand to entertain my older son while I tend to his little sister.”
First, Celena showed a tray she sets up for her son that includes a scene she printed with her computer and themed stamps.
“He can decorate it himself and then color it in.
“I find it engaged him more than a blank sheet of paper,” she explained.

Next, she showed a similar setup, but with reusable stickers so her son can place and remove them as many times as he desires.
Her third tip included using a baking pan she already had in her kitchen and letter magnets.
She placed a sheet with several pictures onto the baking pan so her son could match each magnetic letter to the picture that starts with that letter.
She said it’s a wonderful “independent learning” activity, but also said she is able to help out while she’s nursing her baby.
“And when in doubt, mess-free coloring supplies will at least give you time to drink a cup of lukewarm coffee,” she concluded as she placed the classic coloring book, crayons, and markers trio on the table.
Several of Celena’s followers were ecstatic about her tips, as one said she is due soon with her second child and will definitely be using the advice.
“Using a coloring page with the stamps is such a good idea!” another exclaimed.
“Where have you been the last year of my life,” a third impressed viewer wondered.
Celena is one of several parents who post their practiced tips and tricks online to help out others.
For instance, a mom of four revealed how she ensures her kids never need to ask her for snacks again.
Plus, another parent shared the fun and free game she plays with her kids to help them use up their extra energy.
