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.

Bubble making Activity - Kids have so much fun with something so simple as bubbles, and they have even more fun when they make the bubble stuff themselves. You will need a few ingredients to make this happen. Bring corn syrup and dish soap with you.

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.

Another great activity you can do with the kids is making play dough from scratch. To do this, you will need cream of tartar, water, salt, flour, food coloring, and vegetable oil.

Food coloring 1 cup of salt 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons cream of tartar 2 cups boiling water 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.

These two great activities will give the kids hours of fun. The activities can be combined and if you still are looking for stuff to do with the kids then you can add a cool Disney movie to get them relaxed. Be sure to integrate some role playing in with the play dough making.
