I need fairly easy crafts that can be made with items you find in your house. I have to babysit tomorrow and need some ideas to keep her occupied! Thanks!

Make noodle necklaces, finger paints, play dough, stuff like that.
It's called Kool-aid Play dough, my youngest is five and he had a blast.
2 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
2 pkgs. kool-aid
3 tbsp. oil
2 c. boil water (With caution of course)
Mix all dry ingred. Then mix your oil and water. Add wet to dry, mix well, be careful as it will be hot.
Wait, mix again, add four to dough if needed so it's not sticky. Not too much or it will be hard, then have fun you're all done.

Get a big piece of sugar paper or craft paper or card and some poster paints. Either get some leaves from outside or cut a potato in half and cut a leaf shape into the potato and then use the leaves or potato stencil to create a colorful tree design on the paper.

get markers or crayolas, and some heavy paper. Use a large plate to make a large circle on the paper. Next, use a smaller plate to put a circle inside the first one. Cut this out.
Next trace around her hand and yours on more paper. Cut the hands out, and color them. Glue or tape them to the circle.

My 4-year-old niece loves coloring, stamps, play-doh and modeling clay, stickers, anything involving glue sticks.
You might also consider baking cookies together or some other cooking project.

Water color painting; finger painting. Color in coloring books. Cut up little bits of pretty fabric (you do this ahead of time) and help her glue them onto something, like paper or cardboard.
Stringing beads on a leather strand.

Anything gooey, sticky and colorful. Think playdoh and finger paint.
