I'm going to babysit three kids for 6 hours this afternoon. There's a three-year-old girl, a six-year-old boy, and another 9-year-old boy. Sometimes it's hard to come up with stuff for them to do together because they're so different. Any ideas for fun stuff?

Watch a movie they all like

If it's warm outside, you could have them take turns chasing each other with the hose, those ages can all play something like that. Maybe you could have a contest with them inside and ask them to race around and clean up and see who can clean the most the fastest... then their parents will be impressed when they get home (plan this for the end of the 6 hours!).If they have hotwheels cars, they could all race those around on the kitchen or dining room floor. Ummm... you could play with one of them at a time while the other two watch their favorite TV show (although you shouldn't rely on the TV very much!). Good luck!

Go by the craft store and get shrinky dinks - you color them and then bake them in the oven. Kids of all ages love this. That will take an hour or so and then you can watch a movie or play hide and seek.

Go to the park or on a nature hunt through some walking trails. Take them to a splash park if it is warm enough or turn on your sprinkler. You could put on a movie, or do crafts with the younger two.

do crafts they all will love that. or watch a movie, make fun snacks. do you have a pool. but be careful. if its hot out you can let them play in the water hose , um... the youngest will like to do house cleaning like washing windows or plastic dishes. the two boys will like to help you out.like take out trash stuff to make them feel big. you can put them to work they love that. just laugh a lot and have fun. make funny and silly jokes you will do fine!

when I babysit kids I know how difficult it is for all to find an activity. try coloring, or finding some easy games to keep them busy. or some fun movies, or even books. have fun.
