Answer 1

Watercolors, ceramic painting , sidewalk chalk , Tea parties (and i mean go all out) ,  

Answer 2

how about some home made biscuit pizza's. A friend was doing this with her kids while I was over there, you get the biscuits that come in a can, some pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni (what ever else they like) flatten out the biscuit dough, put the pizza sauce on it along with the other toppings and bake in the over for however long the biscuit package says.

Use pudding for finger paint on butcher paper. This way they can l**k off the mess without worrying about toxins. It's instant pudding you use.

Use macori to make necklaces or cereal.

Hope some of these idea's work. Talk to the mom and see if she has any of these items on hand, it not either bring them yourself or talk to her and see if she will provide them for the kids. These can be fun while making and then they have a delicious snack afterward.

Answer 3

I've actually done the homemade biscuit pizzas when I used to babysit and that really is a good idea!  Also, maybe you can play dress up.  That keeps little girls busy for a while, and clean up is easy, just scoop up everything and put it away when your done (considering they have dress up stuff).  Don't go into mom & dad's closet or use the kids good clean clothes or anything.  

Answer 4

make sumthing easy like sock puppets or even coloring in a coloring book [then hang their pic on the fridge]. it'll be fun to color with them && no mess!  

Answer 5

i babysit a 21 month old girl, a four year old boy, a five year old boy, a 7 year old girl and a 9 year old boy and here are my best ideas

for the 6 year old she is old enough to do a lot of different crafts, but it could get very messy.

crafts:

*drawing

*painting

*get lots of fun beads from a craft store and make jewelry

you can also cook with her(some people suggested pizza biscotii, which sounds fun).

*i have brought pre made sugar cookies and different color frosting and we decorated them, which was fun but a bit messy.

*you can make ice cream here is a recipe http://www.landolakes.com/mealIdeas/View...

some 6 years olds still dress up and play with dolls, so you could try that

the 3 year old is a little bit harder to do things with but here are some things you can do

*drawing

*painting(finger painting is always fun)

*dress up

*hide and seek

*tag

*frosting cookies(very messy with a kid this young)

hope this helped and good luck :]
