Q. I'm going to be babysitting soon, a 2 and a half year old and a five year old. I was just wondering what some fun things are to do while babysitting, I want to be like the best babysitter ever for them.

Answer
-Make play dough! http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Salt-Doâ¦
You can even take a small food storage container (of yours) to have the kids decorate with stickers, etc. that will hold their play dough it.

--Go outside!
Play with chalk.
Blow bubbles. (you can even make them)
Take a walk/bike ride
Visit a park
Have a picnic
Bring some water guns
Do a scavenger hunt: Have them find a pink flower, a blue car, etc.

-Decorate a pillow case
Buy some cheap pillow cases, and write their name on it in sharpie. Get some fabric markers for them to decorate the pillow with.

-DANCE!
Put some songs like: The Macerana, the twist, chicken dance, hokey pokey, electric slide, etc. on a CD or a playlist on your ipod. Turn off the lights, expect for some dimmed ones or a lamp, even try to get a disco ball! Let them dance freely, or play freeze dance.

-Play games!
Hide and seek
Twister
Go fish
Slap Jack
Candy Land

-Bowling
Set up a bowling alley with some water bottles or plastic cups as pins, and a soup can as the ball.

-Frost cookies!
Make some cookies before the kids get there, or you go to their house. Let them put frosting and sprinkles on the cookies.

-ColoIring
You can take big poster boards and stamps, stickers, markers... Or you can print off coloring sheets, and have them make their own coloring book

--Limbo...

-Movie "theater"
Bring 4-5 movies for them to pick from, make tickets, have a concession stand.
A fun idea with this topic is if you can bring some large cardboard boxes to make fake cars out of and have a pretend drive in movie.

Just be creative!!
