If anyone could tell me some games that they know that could be fun around the house because i would really like to play something new with this little girl....she is just so adorable and i dont always want to play and do the same things that we always do normally play dolls or princess dress up or color or i will do her nails....this little girl likes me coming over and i just want her to have as much fun as she can when she is with me.

play dough, make a picture book of things she likes and can cut out of magazines. barbies, make cookies, watch a movie and pop popcorn. make mini pizzas with muffins.

Cooking with 4 years olds can be lots of fun. Betty Crocker published a cookbook for kids years ago and recently reprinted it. Its called the "Betty Crocker Cook Book for Boys and Girls". There are several fun recipies in there that a 4 year old can help with. I got a copy when I was about 11 and I'm older than dirt now and still use the recipie for hot fudge pudding cake from that cook book.

Candy Land is a great game for kids that age. So are "matching" card games. Another great imagination game is to have her tell (make up) a story and you write it down. Then when her parents get home they can read the story.

I wish I had you for a babysitter! It's cool that you care enough to look for new ideas. My 5 year old niece loves building things, so maybe make a dollhouse out of boxes and stuff. Good luck!

Do her make up and her hair - pretent she;s at a hair salon. then you can dress her up and have a fashion show - she'll feel like a princess!. You can also get the game "Pretty, Pretty Princess - she will love winning the jewelry!!!

Since the weather is changing and the leaves will be falling, You can collect different types of leaves outside and make collages. You can always read to her...or make your own books and she can read to you! Some of the kids I used to babysit like to play obstical course...and we would have races... You can put music on and be silly and dance...or hand games like miss mary mac... Since she will be going to school soon you can get out blank sheets of paper and help her with her letters....draw one and see if she can draw one on her paper.
