Answer #1

how old are you? I babysit and teach sunday school, so I know a thing or two about kids. ask their parents what they like to eat; theres really nothing I can tell you there. nothing too competative for games, and at a really easy level because autistic children arent very advanced, so he is probably anout at the two year old’s level. is she like barely two, or almost three? theres a big difference there. my kids (sunday school!) are from 2-5, and theres a HUGE difference in their behavior. they seem to like pretzels, I have 10 kids and in a month we went through an entire jar! singing simple songs works well for me, but maybe not for the autistic boy. reading stories and playing with plastic animals is fun. not so much as games, just fun little activities…play dough is amazing! it shuts them up and they can play with it for half an hour in their own little world :) best of luck, funmail me with quesitons!

Answer #2

I have a 4, 5, and 6 year old so here are some activities that they enjoy… Play-doh coloring shaving cream on the table (cleans up easy) reading a book dance party - put on some music and everyone dance

as far as snack goes…popcorn, cheese crackers, pretzels

I think a game right before bedtime might get them too stirred up. Instead do something more relaxing like reading a book, telling them a story, or just talking. If they are hard to put down then be sure you let them know before hand that you are reading a book and THEN it’s bedtime.
