What are some fun things to do with little kids?

Question

My brother is 3 and he wants to paint.

Is there a fun way to paint where I can do something and not be bored.

He already marble painted today, is there anything fun like that?

And I'm gonna be babysitting for the next 2 weeks so any other ideas would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Fingerpainting!!

And like the other person said, chalk sidewalk drawings.

Get a huge canvas and draw all over it :D

Answer 2

One cool thing I did with my daughter...

You get some cheap wooden tops, dip them in the paint, and then give them a spin.

It looked really cool at the end, better than a lot of "modern art" I've seen in museums. I put a frame around one of them and hung it on the wall. I've had a couple of people comment on it before I told them what it was.

Answer 3

Finger paints are fun.  I recommend taking him outside.  Tape a bunch of paper to a table.  Let him at the paints.  Then hose him down afterward.

Answer 4

go to "michaels" and buy stuff like paint/crafts/stamps and like fabrics so they can use and make like little puppets idk..but that would be something that they would like and be entertaining for them..

1.coloring books

2. poster boards w/ markers and glitter ect...

3.buy a mini pool for them, it would be a fun time for them:]

Answer 5

finger painting, try getting tee shirts from a craft store and let him paint with his hands. i get my stepson  little wooden cutouts (ducks, trains, etc -- they have everything and they're really cheap) and let him paint them with brushes. just make sure you use lot's of newspaper!! lol

Answer 6

Answer 7

You can take him to the park, color, make everything into a game, check out free or low-cost festivals.

Answer 8

Answer 9
