Answer 1

You can rent an action cartoon movie for the boys, and in the meantime, while watching you can do the nails of the girl or try some hair styles with her. Also you can ask them to help you with your thank you notes for Xmas, get some paper and crayons and tell them to draw whatever they want on the cover or each card, (even if you don't use them, that will keep them busy), you can also bring some glitter and buttons and stuff like that to decorate them. Good luck, greetings!★

Answer 2

A cooking activity where you put the 10 and 11 year olds in charge of more challenging things, like breaking eggs, and the younger two in charge of stirring with a big wooden spoon. Have the older kids measure things, the younger kids pour the pre-measured cups into the bowl. Assign tasks with authority and expect a little whining, but they will enjoy it. I suggest cookies, although cooking dinner together might also be an option. All kids love cookies, they're hard to mess up and they take a fair amount of time to make (i.e. killing time until the parents come home). Also, most people have the ingredients already in the kitchen. Google for sugar cookie, PB cookie (ask about allergies!), oatmeal cookie recipes. Those are the ones with the simplest ingredient lists, so you don't have to buy anything.

Also, try this website: www.abcteach.com for mazes and wordsearches you can print out and take with you. They also have coloring pages. There are plenty of free printables there.

Also, you could play sardines. I played this with an 11-yr-old and two 8-yr-olds. One person hides while everyone else counts. You spread out to find the hidden person. When you find the hidden kid, you very quietly join him/her in the hiding spot. Last one to find the group is the next person to be "it."

Have the two older kids play cards/checkers while you play "go fish" or some other simple game with the younger two. Stay in the same room if you can.

Put them all to work making New Year's cards for their parents. Individual work while doing "parallel play" and you can sit and help, offer suggestions.

At the younger kids bedtime, you could ask the older kids to read to them.

Answer 3

Let the 10 and 11 year old do their thug thizzle and let the 6 and 3 year old play a boardgame with you, color, watch a flick. It's always fun to make a mess when you're babysitting, so try and make cookies, or glue pasta and beans to construction paper. Kids aren't choosey, as long as they have your attention!

Answer 4

honey, that's what Mommas all over the place want to know.

Any chance they just got a bounty of new toys over the past few days? They may be better occupied than you'd think.

Or make party hats for ringing in the new year.

Answer 5

Board Games work well for a broad age range... specifically Candy Land or similar. Skip the ones where you have to count money, like Monopoly.

Answer 6

Movie night. Games. Story telling. Get the older ones involved in a game or movie, and tell the young one a story.

Answer 7

color and read books with the younger ones, Play board games or cards with the older ones when the little ones go to bed. Clean up their bedrooms and put their new toys away. Play hide and go seek with a flashlight.

Answer 8

Board games, movies, crafts, cooking.
