Answer 3

You can get a couple bottles of bubbles and blow bubbles, if you don't mind messiness you can get finger paint and paper for that, you can help her string beads if you get a little bead kit at the store, go on a 'bug hunt' in the yard and look under rocks, leaves, etc. for interesting bugs.  Your cousin would love making her own lunch, you can help her but she can do a lot by herself.  She can help you set up a pic-nic in the yard or at a park, after you have spent time outdoors she can have a bubble bath (be sure you stay with her the whole time, four yrs old is too young to be left alone in the tub) You can go for a ride on the city bus or train and visit a public park your cousin has not seen before, go to the mall and let her play on the kids play structures inside, maybe let her ride a couple coin operated rides if they have any there.  Go to the grocery store together and pick out dinner together.  If you have outdoor plants or flowers, have her help water them.  There are a few ideas, best of luck  :)

Answer 4

Go for a walk, go to the park, go to the mall and get some ice cream.  I know you said you dont want to cook, but when my little cousin stays with me and I have a one and two year old....I get those chef boyardee pizza kits, and make one, and I let them put the toppings on.  It takes about 10 mins of time, but then the other 20-30 mins, they are usually so excited about it, they'll sit in the kitchen and wait for it to be done.

Answer 5

Take her to a park, or maybe you should bring her to a beach. ymca... anythin
