Question

i babysit alot and i do the same thing over and over again and its starting to get really old. any ideas?

Answer 1

It depends on how old the children you're babysitting are. If they're infants, you're kind of limited on what you can do. Read to them, sing, play Peak-a-boo, play with blocks, shapes, colors, etc. Older children is where you can have more creativity. Try to set up a scavenger hunt through the house or yard (if it's fenced). Make it educational by picking up little trivia things like... "The next clue can be found where a dog might bury his bone." and then put the next clue in the flower garden or something. Let the children help you prepare snacks and lunch. You can go to foodnetwork.com to get some fun and creative ideas for snacks. Play hide-and-seek or board games. Work on crafts or color. Tell stories or read. Make things fun and educational at the same time.
