Passing the time away

Does anyone have ideas for self-directed activities for Gracie? She has great difficulty playing on her own - prefers direct human interaction. Her one and only activity that she will do on her own is take things out of a bin. As you can imagine, that means that she is miserably bored when she's home with the other kids too as they have to (gasp!) take TURNS with mommy's attention!

Any ideas? Any great and lifechanging suggestions for self-motivated play for a non-self-motivated girl?

Cause and effect toys are one way to go. They can be expensive but if you can make your own battery interrupters you can just buy regular toys and add that. The switch interface for the computer is a good option. Some kids are just really hard to keep entertained!
