Babysitting can be fun, but how are you going to keep the kids entertained? Read on for more information from DealDash.
No matter if you are a stay-at-home mom or have a teenager looking to earn some money, babysitting could be the answer. If you’re going to be babysitting you will likely be wondering what kind of activities you can do with the kids that you will be watching. You will want to find fun things to do that will keep the kids happy and entertained. The following are several fun things that you do to help keep kids entertained while you are babysitting them, from DealDash.
Popcorn and Movies
You can decide to pop popcorn and watch a couple of movies. You can let the kids choose the movies. Do make sure that they have been approved by the children’s parents as well. This way you know that they are watching something that they are allowed to see. You can have a lot of fun watching movies with popcorn. You can even let the kids grab their favorite blanket and pillow to enjoy the movie with. If there is more than one child and they can’t decide on a movie you can put all of the suggestions on strips of paper and pick one.
Try Your Hand at Crafting
Most all kids love doing different crafts so this is definitely a kid friendly choice for activities. You can ask the parents to find out what crafts the kids like to do and put together a little craft kit for them to enjoy while you are babysitting them. You could also think of something new for them to try that would be suitable for their age level. Crafts really allow kids to have fun and let their creative side shine.
Read Some Stories
Reading to the kids that you are watching is another thing that you can do that would be a lot of fun. Not only is reading fun it will help the kids learn as well. You can make it even more fun by making up silly voices and asking the kids what they think will happen next. You can read one or two stories each night or day that you are watching the kids. The kids that you are watching might even like to read all of a series of books, such as The Berenstain Bears or the Clifford books.
