Babysitting

[oxfordrocks]

I've been asked to baby-sit my 2 nephews (ages 1+3).
Obviously I'm the last resort!

Any ideas on how to keep these 2 boys busy for a couple of hours?

I have to go at midday today (28th Sept), so any quick replys will be much appreciated!

Cbeebies on TV?

If its not raining, wrap them up and take them to the park. If your staying indoors, how about making something with them? You could do simple things like drawing and colouring or if youre more adventurous, make a collage using scraps of coloured paper and card.

Have fun :)

Don't really want to plonk them in front of the goggle box.
The park sounds like a good idea (if I can control them!)
Just found this website http://www.dltk-kids.com/ which has lots of activities.

Thanks for your replies.....any more?

Bit late now but you could have made playdough which we did at pre-school this morning! lots of mess so a big cover for the floor.

Building blocks, cooking cakes etc

I wrote a long message about something brilliant you could do and then realised you'd gone at midday. rev and gina geroff :-)

[gina32]

what do you mean?

[Reverandfunk]

I thought calpol put kids to sleep???

[Psychick]

Calpol reliefs temperatures and aches and pains. If you want to knock them out Rev, give them phenergan!

Well thanks for replying.
It went quite well.........
.......they ended up watching the T.V.
I tried to get them to do something constructive but they were not interested.
I think my sister wanted me to stay a bit longer because she was so busy but I was too pooped!

Bless, you should offer to have them overnight for her as it went so well ;) lol
