You should try doing some arts and crafts or something that will make them tired and were them out so they will sleep for a wile.

Three year olds are long on energy and short on attention span. If you can take them to a park where there may be other children they can play with that is a good idea. One very important thing about going to a public park. YOU CAN NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OF THE CHILD FOR A SECOND. Two reasons for this:
1. To make sure no one walks off with the child in you care, most important.
2. To make sure the child stays away from the things that are above the child's age group to play on.
Children this age love to explore. You can take the child on an adventure/nature walk. Make sure to take a stroller with you for when they run out of energy it is immediate. If you do not have the stroller you will end up carrying the child home.
For indoor things there are arts and crafts such as crayons and finger painting. Reading to them. Playing with them and their toys or simply watch them entertain themselves. At that age they are quite capable of entertaining themselves or you.

Nothing will entertain any child below 5 for hours. they have the attention span of a drunk person lol. you have to constantly keep them busy. you can try to Play with them? Balloons. Bubble machine. Music. Coloring. Maybe a cartoon? Some children will watch a movie or show, but not all of it. Ask the child questions about the show to keep them interested. You can sing songs and even read books. Ask the child what they want to do, at that age, they should be able to tell you. (:
