Tips on 3 year old twin boys

Question

I am babysitting 3 year old twin boys this weekend and I babysit all the time but I have never babysat twins before and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me.

Answer 1

Save yourself the trouble and jump out the window now.  

Answer 2

Try to find an outdoor activity or a library story hour that is geared toward active kids (short attention span, more mobile than infants). Buy a gallon of bubble solution at Target and make sure you have enough bubble wands for everyone.

Have a race where they have to do multiple things, like toss a beanbag into the basket, then crawl under a table or chair, sort Duplo blocks by color, etc.

Buy cheap sidewalk chalk and find a safe spot in the driveway or a bike path and draw big animals, shapes, numbers, letters.

Tap into their competitive spirit if they are competitive and see who can finish their mac & cheese first (or last if they eat too fast).

Water--fill up water balloons and have them toss them till the balloons pop. Note:this is a messy outdoor activity.

Buy Pillsbury sugar cookie dough and some colored sugar or sprinkles and decorate the cookies. Give them each their own workspace.

Good luck, and have fun!
