Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller could not have found a better temporary guardian for their two twin boys, Bob and Max.

For Denise Richards was ever the doting motherly figure as she took the toddlers to school in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Holding Bob in her arms as Max ran ahead in front of her, the youngsters appeared content and happy in her care.

Little Bob even snuggled into the blonde star's chest as they strolled into the building.

Denise equally looked thrilled to be spending time with her temporarily expanded brood.

The 42-year-old showed off her extremely toned and slender figure in a pair of green cargo pants and a white singlet top.

The Starship Troopers star went relatively make-up free for the school run, tying her hair back into a ponytail and shielding her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.

Denise was also joined by her daughter Sam, nine, who looked stylish just like her mother in a fringed tank top, shorts and high-top sneakers.

The Sheen boys were equally as colourful in their striped top and navy short combinations.

The former wife of Charlie Sheen has been looking after the Anger Management star's twins with his other ex-wife Brooke Mueller for several days now.

She was awarded temporary custody of the four-year-old boys earlier this month.

Brooke, 35, is currently being treated in the Betty Ford Clinic for her 20th stay in rehab and her drug addiction will be thoroughly investigated ahead of the June 4 hearing which will determine who will have care of the twins for the next six months.

Child protective services could also ask the Drug Enforcement Agency for records of any prescription drugs she has taken and - while Brooke can refuse - social workers could get a subpoena to get information from her medical records.

It was previously reported Bob and Max would be allowed to visit their mother - in the company of a court-appointed monitor - in rehab earlier this week for a few hours.

However, it has not been revealed whether or not the visit was actually made.

Meanwhile, it was also recently revealed that Brooke has never been alone with her boys.

The revelation could possibly risk her chances of getting a judge to reinstate custody of the boys, when she goes in front of the courts in June for a custody hearing.

'Brooke has never been alone with the twins, ever. Since the time they were born, she has always had nannies, or help from her family. She doesn’t know how to care for Bob and Max’s basic daily needs, and views them as play things,' a source told Radaronline.

'The boys would spend the majority of their time with their nannies. Brooke would try and eat breakfast with them, if she was able to be roused in the mornings. Brooke never goes to the twins preschool, in which the parents are encouraged to participate. It’s always the nannies.'

Lera , any town, United States;.... "she certainly seems to be a good mother. - chels, london, 24/5/2013 9:41 For $56K in alimony a month I'd be too, and my IQ is a bit higher than hers. Money is the name of every game."........ Charlie Sheen was the highest paid actor in television for about 6 years. He has made multiple high grossing movies. He's worth a fortune...he is NOT in a place to raise his children as even HE wants them to be raised...and he knows for a fact that Denise is doing a top rate job at it...Do you hear Charlie Sheen complaining about the money... Absolutely never..In fact, he gives over his OTHER two children to Denise to raise when issues creep up and even paid an attorney to have them assigned to her...he probably gave her whatever money she wanted into the bargain. Seems like they have it worked out...It's YOU that has the problem with it. Charlie Sheen has 99 problems, but being a skint miser with his ex is not one of them.

Those poor boys, no stability in their young lives - until Denise steps in and gives them the motherly attention they need and deserve for the first time since their birth!! Denise should get full custody of those boys. Their birth mother is a train-wreck. She has had SO many chances to sort herself out and get her act together, and it's simply not fair on the children to have to live with that chaos. Denise is a star to be doing this. (though her beautiful daughter doesn't look to thrilled to have two lively, pesky little brothers suddenly thrust into her life, lol!)

Sam, her daughter, doesn't look too thrilled (perhaps with the photographers or perhaps with being dragged around on errands)
