DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT ever do cooking if they are devils lol, they'll probably make a huge mess.

Just find out more what they like, then try to create a game around that. Movies- sharktale, finding nemo, the incredibles, and shrek 1 or 2 always work with little kids, so try the movie thing again.

find something that they are interesting in doing. like ask them questions about what they think is fun and then next time youre babysitting them bring things that they think are fun to play with. i have a little brother that i babysit all the time and i try to find things he likes doing, like hes really into Yu Gi Oh (?) so we play with his cards all the time and hes occupied for hours..hope i helped

ask them what they would like to do. if its something destructive or bad, then maybe they are just evil. or maybe you could ask their parents or parent of what they usually like to do. :) peace out

Maybe you should ask them what they would like to do for a change. Or ask their parents what they like to do.

You can always pop in a movie and make some popcorn and candy and then make it like a movie theater. Or try asking them what they would like to do instead. Watch T.V. with them, color, draw, whatever they want to do that is fun. Or you can try asking their parents what they like to do for fun too.

Little Boys are always very hard to control and babysit.. you could take them out for icecream or do things that THEY like and get them busy and then you will have some time for yourself too so you can watch movies or w/e you like to do but always keep an eye on them!!

Here is my secret...go to wal*mart and get one of those cheap and really soft NERF balls (a ball that is relatively big cause a small ball hurts more) and play tag with the ball in the back yard or front. They should like that; all the little boys I've ever babysitted for like violence like that. Try it and I hope it works for you.

Ask them what they want to do or ask the parents what they do to keep themselves somewhat calm maybe you could take them to the park or for a walk ... my lil cousins who are twins are 6 love walks and for my other lil cousin who is 4 just loves the park and learning to ride bike and my other cousin gunner loves riding his new bike and running in the backyard-trix
