Its all fun and games til someone loses an eye
Well...im babysitting tomorrow...and i usually babysit a little boy and girl...but i found out that its just gonna be the girl this time.
Shes in 1st grade and is a normal little girl who likes her barbies but still has that boyish edge bc she plays with her older brother a lot.
I was just wandering if any of you had some games that youve played with your "babysit-ees"..or anything crafty to do. The only thing is..her mom is a neat freak so i CANNOT make a mess. We've already played the normal hide-and-seek..tag...kickball games a billion times though..so im looking for maybe a creative edge to the answers..
Hope im not asking too much :-)
Thanks in advance!

Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
well since she's only in first grade, you can do some reading games, and story time and stuff. You can also play with her dolls, role playing "House" or even bake some things with her.

Alright, so I babsit 4 boys almost on a daily basis-- so this is what we usually do.
They LOVE crafty things
-Paper Airplanes
-Paints [water paints are best-- like on the table with newspaper under it]
-Coloring books, or just plain sheets of paper-- suggest things for them to draw. IE: Trees, animals
-Make necklaces and braclets with beads
-Puzzles
Or do some Outdoors stuff
-Since she has a brother, I'm sure he has a baseball bat. Try teaching her how to swing and hit it. It has a lot of gratification involved with it once they finally get it right!
-Go on a bike or rollerblade ride around the block
-The normal, kickball and hide and go seek
-CHALK.
Or go at a different approach
-Baking is a big plus-- I know you said no messes, but those premade squares of cookies by Philsberry is really really fun to make with them.
-Make some like juice popsickles [Get a papercup and fill it with some juice, stick a tooth pick or a spooin in it and wrap the top with saranwarp. Stick it in the freezer until it looks froze [probably a couple of hours] come back, and eat it! they're great.
-If you ever have to serve them lunch, ask them if they want to help make it.
anyway-- this is what I usually do with a handful of boys.
Hope you survive
