How to occupy a 2 year old and a 4 year old?

Question

One week this summer i'm going to babysit a 2 year old and a 4year old plus my 8 year old sister. They're all girls. I want to know what old toys I should get out or what games I should play with them. Also is a slip n slide too much for a 2 year old? Please tell me any water or any other games or toys I should use.

Answer 1

Sidewalk chalk or paint

Sprinkler they can run thru..yes slip and slide is too hard for a two year old;  they love sprinklers

Play dough for outside

Picnics

Plant sunflowers, the plant not seeds(too late for that)

Paint a flower pot, put a flower in it

Beach balls...get 3 or 4 of them

Buy molding sand

Umbrella houses for their stuffies

Roll down hills

At snack time hide their snacks and let them hunt for them

Rainy day movie...Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(johnny deppe...great music) or Over The Hedge

Answer 2

Squirt guns in the living room is a good game. Or everyone squirt the mom is another one. Kidding, a slip and slide kept my grand kids out of my hair-----I mean busy for many hours and I had them out using it when they were one year old. (With an adult or older child of course)
