Go for a walk. Playing guessing games and point out interesting objects on your walk.

Read! Bring a new used book every time you babysit. Make it a habit to have something new for the kids to enjoy each time.

Board games are a fun easy way to amuse kids. Don't just give them the board games to use, you play too!

Bake cookies. If you have experience and permission from parents, bake some simple cookies with the kids.

Crafting is a fun, easy way to keep kids busy for hours. Bring your own craft supplies and a new idea each time you babysit.

Color. You are never too old to enjoy coloring. You can find free coloring pages online and crayons are inexpensive…have a supply of your own.
