What activities can I do while babysitting?

Ok, let me start off with this. I am a 14 year old teen, who has 3 nieces and 1 nephew. My parents said that I am going to babysit them soon. I never babysat before, so I really need some advice on what activities, or 'to do' things, I should do with them. The oldest one is a 5 year old girl, next is her sister who is 2 years old. The next in line is a 1 1/2 year old boy who has a 6 month sister. So please, all I want to know is what should I do to keep them occupied? Thanks, oh and can you e-mail your answers to my e-mail address thank you^^ Fun mail me

Try to do things educational that will help the youngsters learn something

Think about when you were a kid and activities your babysitter did with you.

Boardgames and coloring were big things for me ( and my sis). And we always thought our babysitter was the coolest because she would paint our nails.

Movies and crafts are other things you can do. Think back to your childhood. What things interested you in kindergarten? What things were boring?

Try picking up a Highlights magazine. it's full of activities for kids.

you can play games with them! you can draw pictures with them, color with them, and paint the girls' nails!

would let them watch educational things on tv or take them outside or something

you can play boardgames , draw , do crafts you'll think of something

WOW, WHAT A JOB !! AT 5, COLORING AND CARTOONS, A 2 YEAR OLD , ONE OR TWO SIMPLE TOYS AND PLAY WITH THEM ON THE FLOOR, SAME FOR THE 1&1/2 YEAR OLD, JUST MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GET HURT TO MUCH (HA HA) OCCASIONAL TRIPS AND FALLS ARE NORMAL. NO JUMPING OFF THE BACK OF THE COUCH ! AS FOR THE 6 MONTH OLD, IF SHE CRIES CHANGE HER, FEED HER, OR BURP HER. THEY SLEEP A LOT !! I HAVE 3 KIDS AND 3 STEP KIDS.

8 YEAR OLD, 7YEAR OLD, 6 YEAR OLD, 4 YEAR OLD, AND TWIN 1&1/2 YEAR OLDS !!!

GOOD LUCK !!!

I babysit, too. I think that you should make playdough for the 5 year old, but there is one type that is edible. Here is a recipe...Ingredients:
• 4 cups flour
• 1 cup salt
• 2 T cooking oil
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups cold water
• food coloring Mix flour, salt, oil. Add food coloring to water. Gradually add water to flour mixture. Knead. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator

Also, search for edible playdough recipes on Google or something. The girls and boys I babysit for love to play with the peanutbutter playdough and the eat it. The boy loves to make dinosaurs and then bite the heads off (I know...total boy) and pretend he's a monster or Godzilla. They love to help me make it, too. Good luck!

tresure hunt is always fun the kids will love it. Also make a and outdoor obsticle course to burn off energy.

Don't let them watch too much tv. Play lots of games indoor and outdoor. Go outside and just let them run around. You could find an easy recipe and have them help you make it. Most of them would probably enjoy dancing to music.
