Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Try some of those kits they sell at craft stores (like beads, sand art, etc.). I used 2 play with them all the time when I was really little. Make sure not to do any thing to messy if you don't want to clean it up (like finger painting). Also consider their age(like, don't buy a needlepointing kit for a 5 year old).

Well if you r goin to their house bring a load of toys with u for them to play with. If they come to you let them play with your toys or something make cookies and stuff like that. theyll be sore to listen to u.

keep popping in movies, keep them secluded in one room and keep feeding them. the more they eat and are entertained, the less they move. it's always worked for me.

games,tv,makeovers,movies,stories,or get them a gift, it all dependes on the age. tell me how it went. ~ robynn ~ aka *newyork745* aka - bobin - ( nick name)

put the tv on let them hold some car keys put barney on or sesame street put your cell phone keys on lock and let them play with it make funny sound put them on microsoft word and let them type put them to bed read them a story let them talk on the phone let them hold a stuffed animal put them in front of a mirror

Well it depends on the ages. I'd say that you should bring a coloring book (or print out coloring pages from crayloa.com) some crayons, markers, etc and have them color for awhile. Usually little girls have things they want to do or play, so have them show YOU what do to. Ask them to show you their rooms, favorite toys, etc. Then have them recommend a game. When its time for things to wind down, choose a classic Disney movie to watch together. Make it fun!

I have brothers and sisters so i think i can help, ok first ask them what they want to do and play with them plus little girls love makeup so if you want to gve them a makeover(but not very much makeup) they'll love that. and if all that fails put them in front of the TV.lol hope i helped

I would get them a gift, it may cost you money, but it would keep them occupied!!! I would aslo make sure that you "show ur xmas spirit!!" i would do this by like making them hot chocolate and just having fun! Good luck and tell us how me how it goes!!

Depends what age they are. If there like toddlers then bring puppets, and they love coloring, make a easy obsticle course and maybe bake something with them. If they are like the age of 7- 10 then you could do dress up with them, also bake something with them, play with dolls, and play house or something.

puzzles.. have them making something fun and easy (like somehing with mac&cheeze and glue.. you can come up with plenty of stuff with just those two things) umm.. have them watch a movie or you can have them making somehing fun for their parents (again back to the mac and cheeze.. like a card or something) hope i helped

It would be awesome if there was snow! You could take them sledding. If not, then there are board games, video games, and movies you could watch! Good luck!
Hope I helped!
Happy Holidays!

Maybe you could play the new games or w/e they got for christmas with them! Depending on how old they are, maybe you could bring some games over or something you have. Maybe even buy them a cheap game from a store or somethin. I know that when i went to babysit for a little boy who was 4, he like 2 play the Hi Ho! Cherry-o game.... its an old game. but it keeps em occupied!!! Or get em a coloring book with their favorite cartoon people in it! Hope I helped!! HaPpY hOlIdAyS aNd HaPpY nEw YeAr!!!

its good to bring coloring books, a movie, order some food or make something, popcorn, even a game (i dont know how old your babysitting but its just some ideas) .. those things should keep them busy i think! x0

i babysit my little sisters (10 and 7) all the time, not to mention my 7 and 8 year old cousins and a 2 1/2 year old boy.
1) television - barney or bob the builder for little kids, cartoons and stuff for older kids
2)paper and crayons for older kids, its not safe for little kids
3)toys - if you are staying at the kids house you can use their toys, if they are coming to your house, get their parents to bring some.
4) movies - disney movies only please! lol like alladin, cinderella, beauty and the beast, and alice in wonderland
5) play hide and go seek - with toys or with them. hiding toys and letting them find the toys will keep them busy forever!
6) reading books - childrens books, picture and pop up books.
7) make up stories and tell the stories.
8) make up "plays" with them, let them help with the characters.
9) play dolls with them - they are girls, most girls like dolls
10) play house - this will be enjoyable for the girls and easy.
have fun!!!

Watch some movies or some television, bring some age-appropriate books for them. And if they're young you could read the book to them. You could also bring some activity books or crafts for them to do. Talk with them and keep 'em busy! Hope it works! Good luck =)

Find some awesome Christmas movies..I'm guessing they're young so play like hide and go seek or something. Find some board games um... arts and crafts?

ok if your wanting these ideas so you can wonder off. dont. heres ideas i have a 5 little bro and a 1 1/2 little sis. get some paint and some paper and paint with them. do activities like draw. do something like taht watch tv, music, draw, you get the hint
]
You could rent some movies, play games, paint nails, anythin like that should keep them busy. Maybe they could go play in the snow or sumthing. hope i helped!

tie them all to a chair and throw things at them

watching a movie sets them down for at leat 2 hours which is nice for you. Then maybe after the movie, ask them if they're hungry, if they are, duh, feed them, lol. Then play hide and go seek. since there are 4 people that's enough for a good game. then after wards you could have a coloring contest, like seee who colored in the lines the best or something. but make sure you have enough contests so everybody wins so they don't feel left out. after that let the kids decicide what they want to do. the little boys i babysit like to play on their string guitars and play with building blocks and stuff like that. Then if you STILL have time to spare, try watching another movie or repeating one of the following activities. I hope i've been as helpful as possible! Happy Holidays and Good Luck!
Always,
Carly

You can play games with them like tag (TV tag, freeze tag, etc.), you can let them watch TV or a movie! Let them color or do something crafty! Just think of some ideas! Hope I helped :)
