Great Baby Sitting Activities For Kids
People of all ages baby-sit, in fact if you look online some companies have made it their business. But whether you are teenager or an adult, you cant go wrong when you take some fun activity ideas along with you for the evening. Here are two activities that can be extremely fun for the kids you are babysitting. Remember the more fun they have, the more likely you will be called back.
Make Bubbles - Kids love blowing bubbles, and love it even more when they get to make the bubble stuff. To do this you will need water, dish soap (something like joy, or sunlight), and corn syrup.
2 tablespoons of light corn syrup 1/3 cup of water 1/3 cup of dish soap
Put all ingredients together into a large bowl and have the kids find their old bubble blowers. If those old bubble blowers don’t show up then have fun with some of the kitchen utensils. Use anything with a hole in it, a handle, or a potato masher. Try different types of things.
Another great activity you can do with the kids is making play dough from scratch. To do this, you will need cream of tartar, water, salt, flour, food coloring, and vegetable oil.
Food coloring 1 cup of salt 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 cups boiling water 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Get the water to boiling then add the food coloring. Afterward throw in all the rest of the ingredients, and mix everything together. Then start kneading, the more you knead the smoother the play dough will get. Then you can place it in plastic containers, and it is ready to play with.
These two great activities will give the kids hours of fun. The activities can be combined and if you still are looking for stuff to do with the kids then you can add a cool Disney movie to get them relaxed. Be sure to integrate some role playing in with the play dough making.
