kids tent hula hoop image
A.N
I am babysitting for the first time tomorrow. I really have no experience with kids being the youngest. Nicole is 4 years old and a very hyper and active toddler. Does anyone know some games or anything i can do to keep her busy for a few hours?
Answer
4 year old girls love dolls! barbies, polly pockets, baby dolls. i used to babysit a 4 year old girl and all she wanted to do was play dolls. try going outside and doing hula-hoop, skip-it, jump rope, maybe a scavenger hunt; grab a few toys and hide them in easy spots and have her go look for them. build a fort, or tent. all kids like that regardless age or sex. Bonus! if you set up the fort in the living room or near the tv, you can go inside and watch a movie. but dont worry, even if you have no clue what to do , she will have plenty ideas!

I need ideas - maybe we come up with 60 summer fun things to do with my kids on their vacation. One for each day, so unique ideas would be nice and especially if 60 people chip in.
or 10 points automatically if someone can name me 60 in one shot.
Sorry the kids are 7 and 11.
I need general things not things in one particular state cuz I cannot make it to all. i will be down south Georgia - Florida, but try to tell me things that anyone can do with their kids. Thanks
I like going all day without saying a word, but I would lose that one or my son, my daughter would win.
Wow guys thats great gang. I wish I could pick someone now but you know how yahoo works.
Good looking out!
