Babysitting is a new trendy business, and there are many online companies. So whether you are an adult or a teenage babysitter, you always want to go prepared to your engagement, get some interesting activities ready for your evening with the kids. The following are two great activities that can be great fun for them. Remember the more you entertain them, the more likely the parents are to call you back again.
Make Bubbles - Kids love blowing bubbles, and love it even more when they get to make the bubble stuff. To do this you will need water, dish soap (something like joy, or sunlight), and corn syrup.
2 tablespoons of light corn syrup 1/3 cup of water 1/3 cup of dish soap
Put all ingredients together into a large bowl and have the kids find their old bubble blowers. If those old bubble blowers don't show up then have fun with some of the kitchen utensils. Use anything with a hole in it, a handle, or a potato masher. Try different types of things.
Here is another great babysitting activity, you will want to try. Make play dough from scratch. You can do this at home before you go or with the kids. You will need a few things like water, flour, food coloring, cream of tartar and vegetable oil.
Food coloring 1 cup of salt 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 cups boiling water 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Get the water to boiling then add the food coloring. Afterward throw in all the rest of the ingredients, and mix everything together. Then start kneading, the more you knead the smoother the play dough will get. Then you can place it in plastic containers, and it is ready to play with.
The two above activities will make for great fun, then you can combine the activities with a good Disney movie and you have a night made in heaven for the kids. You can make all kinds of objects and even do some role play with the play dough figures.
