If it's someone we're not that close to, we'll plan for about an hour or two and we usually get some snacks together like cheese/crackers, popcorn, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-526098 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:18:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 526098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only had a few, mostly with my sister and some with a friend from church. We usually just do lunch together, then play for a little bit. Then either let both babies take their afternoon naps and us moms hang for a bit, or we leave at that point to get baby home for nap :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-526081 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:15:52 +0000 regberadaisy 526081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I've never had or been to a playdate before. Hoping to have some in the spring when the house is more buttoned up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-526075 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:14:37 +0000 Maysprout 526075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most times they've brought their own snacks but I still put some out at some point for at least the adults. Ours usually are around 2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-526074 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:14:27 +0000 mrbee 526074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I'll dice up the fruit really small, and they love that!</p> <p>They don't get the other plates though, those are for the adults! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-526066 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 22:13:45 +0000 regberadaisy 526066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: mmm yummy! Do the kids like those snacks too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-525071 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:24:15 +0000 betsyboop 525071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually drinks and snacks. We plan for 1.5-2 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-525048 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:20:01 +0000 heffalump 525048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we plan around meal times and will either decide to go out to lunch after or have lunch at home, and ask what the kids and adults like to eat. Play dates always go longer then expected for us so food is always a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-525037 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:16:43 +0000 mrbee 525037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We provide drinks and snacks... sliced fruit/veggies, cheese and cured meats!! Our friends are pretty generous with food, so it feels nice to reciprocate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-happens-on-a-play-date#post-519769 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 19:15:00 +0000 regberadaisy 519769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's at your house?<br /> Do you provide drinks and snacks? How long do they usually last? </p>
