I babysit alot the activities can be for any age of children. I'm just looking for a really long list of activities that are kind of time consuming and a lot of fun, for both me and the kids thanks!
Answer
-Make play dough! http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Salt-Dough-Recipe.html
You can even take a small food storage container (of yours) to have the kids decorate with stickers, etc. that will hold their play dough it.
-Decorate a pillow case/T-shirt/etc..
Bring your accessory that you are going to color on. Take some permanent markers for them to use, but make sure they don't write on anything else- include themselves.
-Go outside!
Play with chalk.
Blow bubbles. (you can even make them)
Take a walk/bike ride
Visit a park
Have a picnic
Bring some water guns
Do a scavenger hunt: Have them find a pink flower, a blue car, etc.
-Have a dance party!
Put some songs like: The Macerana, the twist, chicken dance, hokey pokey, electric slide, etc. on a CD or a playlist on your ipod. Turn off the lights, expect for some dimmed ones or a lamp. Try to get a diso ball. (glow sticks if the kids are above the age of 7) Freeze dance for the little ones!
-Play games!
Hide and seek
Twister
Go fish
Slap Jack
Candy Land
Bowling (use soup cans as pins, and a ball)
-For girls: Do a pedicure!
Take a large bowl, if you have one and put a towel under it. Fill it up with warm water and bubbles/soap. Let her sit on the coach with her feet in the bowl. Massage her feet, then paint her toes.
-Frost cookies!
Make the cookies at your house and take them with to avoid using their stove! Bring along some frosting and sprinkles. Have them decorate their own. Rice krispies also work but are quite messy!
-ColoIring
You can take big poster boards and stamps, stickers, markers... Or you can print off coloring sheets, and have them make their own coloring book. Drawing contests for older kids are always fun!
-Build a "tent!"
Very fun in my opinion. Put chairs in a circle, and lay a big blanket on top! Crawl in and enjoy.
I love going "camping" with this idea. Set up the tent, roast marshmallows in the microwave, do a scavenger hunt, etc.
- Balloon games..
This is only good for kids older than about 5... The little ones can choke on broken balloon pieces. Play "keep it in the air" or do the game with the balloon tied to your ankle. Make sure to clean up!
-Limbo...
-Movie "theater"
Bring 4-5 movies for them to pick from, make tickets, have a concession stand.
A fun idea with this topic is if you can bring some large cardboard boxes to make fake cars out of and have a pretend drive in movie.
Just be creative!!

Any good Themes for sleepovers?
Soxy and L
My best friend and I have a sleepover every weekend,each week a different theme. Next week we are doing 70s, then valentines, then casino, baking and easter. But I need a theme for THIS weekend! HELP!!! We are 14, both girls, and already thought of spa and pink themes. 2 points anyone?
Answer
There are so many sites that offer sleepover ideas try one of these -- some may be birthday parties but you can still get theme ideas. There are enough here for the next couple of years ...
My own: pick a favorite star and throw a birthday party for him / her
Under the sea (hang fish balloons from ceiling, get a bubble machine, eat goldfish)
Rain forest (hang vines from the wall and tape rain forest animals to stuff)
Desert (eat Mexican food, buy some cactus, put sand on tables)
Winter (eat ice cream, watch snow dogs or something else)
Holidays (pick the closest holiday)
TV shows
Movies
Animals
Chocolate (eat chocolate, get chocolate scented stuff)
Sing and dance (have a dance competition or have Karaoke)
Around the world (have people bring food from different countries)
Spa Night (if u are a girl you could do makeovers and stuff)
Camping (you could make s-mores and sleep in a tent)
Sports (choose your favorite sport (mine is soccer) you could have a soccer ball cake, play that sport, etc
