My niece is here staying with me until Sunday evening. Today (Tuesday), Wednesday, and Sunday I need some activities to with her. So far we have done everything I can think of.
-Dress up.
-Tea Party
-Watched TV
-Play Dolls
-Talked.
-etc.
I need some new easy things that can keep her occupied for a while, or at least for the next couple of hours and other two days that I will be having her alone.
Its storming so doing something outdoors at this time is not an option.
She is three.
Thank you.

Pudding Paint - Materials: Instant pudding, food coloring, small containers for pudding, long sheet of bulletin board paper or heavy craft paper, soap and water.
Description: Prepare pudding and tape paper to a table. Teachers can pre mix food coloring with the pudding or let the children do it. Give each child their own container of pudding, then let them use their fingers to do the rest. Talk about how it feels between their fingers, about the taste, and the smell.
Bead Necklaces
Have the children make necklaces out of macaroni noodles and yarn. Color noodles with markers.
Do the Turkey Pokey
Sing the Hokey Pokey like normal, but then the last line goes as follows: "You do the Turkey Pokey and you gobble all around, that's what it's all about."

What about books, reading books! Make cubby houses with the furniture and blankets. Drawing, painting, painting finger and toe nails, make things - origami, make sock puppets. put on music and dance (she'll need some physical activity if you can't go outside.) Play shops, 'sell' the food in the pantry to her with money that you make from paper. This can also be educational, teachinbg about numbers, maths and values. Play hair dressers - brush and do up each other's hair. Play eye-spy. Simple card games like 'snap' and 'pairs' and 'memory' and what about some games on the computer.
Hope this keeps you going for a while. Try to remember games that you used to play with your siblings or cousins or friends when you were around her age.
Also bake cookies, she'll love that and you can decorate them with faces. You can play doctors or vet, fixing up teddies and dolls with bandages made from fabric scraps. Sing nursary rhymes and do the actions, make up your own silly rhymes. You could write a story together and draw the pictures for it, then staple it into a book.

Take a sheet and put it over some chairs or other furniture and make a "tent." Ring a round the rosy. Any kind of pretend is fun to a three year old.
