Homemade playdoh crafts.

Kid can make simple cookie cutter shapes and paint them if they dry or reuse the dough of they don't.  They also love to do free form.  If that is to ambitious, painting rocks is always a favorite. Paper bag puppets another good one for an afternoon of theater.

Answer 3

It depends on the ages of the kiddos you are babysitting, but making anything with a babysitter is usually a BIG hit! : )

Start off with something simple that you know you can handle and then if that goes well you can start adding to your "Magic" collection of tricks to keep the kids happy, busy and entertained.

Things like "treasure" boxes are always a hit, I find.  An empty box (shoe boxes are great!) and some tissue paper in bright colours can become a great place to tuck notes or small treasures.  Stick-on, fun foam letters from the "dollar" store can be used to embellish the boxes with names or other words such as "Sam's Treasure".

Tissue paper is a GREAT thing to have on hand for other simple crafts like making lanterns or candle holders.  A baby food jar painted with school glue and then covered with torn or cut bits of tissue paper and then painted over with more glue can take a nice amount of time and is a great little craft.  When dry, it can be used as a real candle holder or can hold a tiny battery operated "flame".  You could even take a bit of wire and make a handle (pipe cleaners would work as well - but careful if there is a real flame!).  If you use a bigger jar the kids could put an edible treat inside, such as cookies or trail-mix. : )

Have fun and go for it!
