Fun things to do with an 8-year-old?

Asked by mizfeagles about 1 month ago, 3 answers.

Hello! So 2day my mother is at work until like 4, and my father and older brother are at a 3-day camping trip, so I have to babysit my eight-year-old, crazy little hyper brother!

He gets bored a lot, and I feel so bad because I know how much he wants to...

do. So any ideas? I'm 14 so I can't drive, meh. Sky's the limit! He likes dinosaurs, star wars, reading, drawing, and pokemon!!! I'll do anything with him, seriously! lol, but we can't go outside, and plus its raining. IDEAS, IDEAS, IDEAS!
btw: it can be messy and crazy, lol, because we're good kids and always clean up happy )

thanks so much!

Hi! My name is Sindy and I have 5 kids. We like to go through magazines and cut out anything and eerything and then find a cardboard to glue clippings on to. You can have a theme or no theme at all. Kids love to cut things out and pasting and it seems to get their creative juices flowing! Hope it works for you two also! I think you are sweet to be so understanding of your brothers needs. Thank-you
