Third day of bringing my 6 year old to work during the school break

The Dasara break at school is longer than anything my business can pause for. So for three days my son has come to the office with me. He has a corner table, a box of crayons and our old calculator. He has started calling the courier man his colleague. It is fine for now, but there are four more working days and I can see the novelty wearing off for both of us. Is it worth putting a 6 year old into a short holiday camp for the remaining days, or is that just more driving around for me? No family here to leave him with.

Can't help on camps, mine is 8 months. But "his colleague the courier man" got a proper laugh out of me 😂 Please tell me they greet each other every morning.

I've tried both with my 8-year-old. A morning-only camp worked best: three hours of something active, then the afternoon with me at work, where she was tired enough to read or draw quietly. Full-day camps meant two drives and an exhausted child at dinner. If you find something within ten minutes of your office, it may be less running around than it sounds.
