1. toy cars, dolls, board games, legos, DVDs, remote control cars, Webkinz, etc.
2. I babysit kids around the same age and I have this huge coloring book that i printed off disney coloring pages and word searches and they love it!
3. try bringing glue and dry noodles, like macaroni noodles. and some colored paper. they can make pictures out of noodles, I've done it before with a 2.5 year old boy and a 6 year old girl, and they loved it good luck : }
4. Could you not Put Caps Lock on Or shift. It's considering your yelling over the internet. Go to Wal-Mart Cheap Crafts.
5. i like playdough for the older kids, but only when you are RIGHT THERE WITH THEM!! the little kids that i sit like when i broing like the cheap dollar store jewlry and makeup and we make them princesses. idk... for crafts you can go with the hoildays and they make a craft for whatever holiday is in that month but they have to keep it a secret until the day they give it to mom or dad. but beware of liquid glue....
6. Toys R us has a wide variety of Crayola Crayons.. different shapes, colors and even in animal shapes now! Then you can go on http://www.crayola.com/ before you babysit and print out one of the many crayola activities =] .. theres tons!
7. boys that age love cars, trains, trucks, and action figure, coloring books and crayons are a good option for both boy and girl also get the aphabet and number magnets for them to learn while playing.
8. Here are some basic craft supplies: Kids safety scissors, Kids glue (stick & liquid), Construction paper, Crayons, Paper plates, Paper Bags, Popsicle sticks, Stickers, Washable Markers, Pom-poms, Pipecleaners, Double-sided tape, Wiggley eyes, Glitter, Beads, Yarn, Newspaper, Macaroni ۰ Play-doh. You can buy it or make your own.* ۰ New toys. Kids love getting to play with new things, so bring a couple of your old Barbies or dolls with you every time. It's like get a special new toy every time you come over. (or go out and pick up some dolls/barbies/toy cars at the dollar store). ۰ Make your own pin-the-tail on the donkey (or pig or bunny). Each kid can have a certain part they make and than you can all play afterwards. ۰ Coloring books. And crayons. Pick up a super pack of crayons at the dollar store (or 5 small boxes so each kid can have their own) and a coloring book for each kid. ۰ A Treasure Hunt. You can make pirate hats** with the kids and than go on a clue filled adventure, complete with map, to find the treasure. ۰ Sock Puppets. Use stuff from your craft kit to add to single socks that are going to be thrown out. Afterwards you can have a puppet show. ۰ Make a kite, than go fly it! I'd suggest doing all of the prep-work first and than just getting the kids to decorate the kite. You could easily do this on a rainy day, and than when it's nice out bring the kite back to go fly it for an afternoon of outdoor fun.*** ۰ Games like “Simon Says,” “Hide and Seek,” or “Marco Polo” are fun outside and if you're careful about not breaking things, inside too. ۰ Make instruments with the kids and put on a concert.**** - Many parents will also offer to reimburse you for the money you spend on crafts for their children. Just be sure to ask them first to make sure you have a mutual understanding. - Yard sales and dollar stores are great places to pick up toys, games and craft supplies for cheap!
