I need kid wrangling ideas

I need to sort through my storage unit tonight and get ready for a garage sale. Then I'm going to be doing the garage sale thing fri, sat and sun.

 What can I do with Alaina?

    is it a busy area where cars will be passing through a lot?

    sidewalk chalk? bucket of water?

    stuff like that can buy you some time- but won't work as well if there are cars.

    There won't really be cars at the storage place. I think I'm going to wait til dh is home to go up there - if she's unmanageable than one of us can come home with her. 

    But I'm not sure about all day long at my house all weekend. I may have MIL sit in here with her while I sit outside or the other way around. This is more of a headache than I thought it would be.

    I did a two day sale at my mom's with Eva.  We gave her a couple sheets of those dot stickers you can use for pricing and she had a blast.  She also enjoyed playing with all the old stuff we were getting rid of!  It wasn't bad at all.

    Do you have a water or sand table you can setup for her near the selling area?  That seems like that would keep her in one place for a little while.  If its warm enough...

    I do, but she would turn it into a mud pit in no time, require a bath, and possibly smear mud on anything nearby. lol

    read2me, I'm glad it worked out for you! I have some price stickers I know she'll be all over.

    We just had our yard sale last weekend and my 4 year old step daughter rode her bike the entire time & played with the kids that came with their parents to shop.  She had a great time & didn't complain at all... plus it gave the parents a break to actually be able to look while their kid was being entertained by my SD!  :o)

    THIS, too!  The dot stickers & playing with the old toys.  It worked just fine.
