Spring Activities

Babysitting is a new trendy business, and there are many online companies. So whether you are an adult or a teenage babysitter, you always want to go prepared to your engagement, get some interesting activities ready for your evening with the kids. The following are two great activities that can be great fun for them. Remember the more you entertain them, the more likely the parents are to call you back again.

Make Bubbles - Kids love blowing bubbles, and love it even more when they get to make the bubble stuff. To do this you will need water, dish soap (something like joy, or sunlight), and corn syrup.

1/3 cup of water 1/3 cup of dish soap 2 spoons of light corn syrup

Mix everything up and use one of the kids bubble blowers to blow bubbles. If they don’t have a bubble blower then use some of the kitchen utensils. Anything that has a hole in it will work, like a handle, or a potato masher, or an apple peeler.

Here is another great babysitting activity, you will want to try. Make play dough from scratch. You can do this at home before you go or with the kids. You will need a few things like water, flour, food coloring, cream of tartar and vegetable oil.

2 cups boiling water 4 teaspoons cream of tartar Food coloring 2 cups flour 1 cup of salt 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil

Put the food coloring and the oil into the boiling water. Then place everything else in and mix. The dough will begin to get smoother as you knead it. Then you need to store it in an airtight container.

The two above activities will make for great fun, then you can combine the activities with a good Disney movie and you have a night made in heaven for the kids. You can make all kinds of objects and even do some role play with the play dough figures.
