To keep little sis occupied while helping Big Brother stay on task, I created weekly Tot School Themes.  We traveled through the letters of the alphabet each week.  I set up various trays keeping with a general letter theme.  It was quite time consuming to plan, but she loved having activities to do, too!  In the midst of Tot School, I would set up isolated activities to align with her interest or whatever popped in my head at the time : )
