Occupying a child is never easy and you’re running out of ideas? We have a list of fun activities that a babysitter can do with your children.
And of course you can do these activities with your children too!
Building a beautiful cabin with a babysitter
The children love to build huts in their rooms. Your babysitter can offer you one of the most fun activities: building the biggest plaid cabin you can imagine. You will be able to see your children’s eyes widen and perhaps create a future vocation for them as an architect.
In any case, this fun activity will allow you to awaken all the senses of your little budding builders and allow them to spend a friendly and fun-filled time with their babysitter.[/vc_column_text]
Dressing up with your babysitter
We know that children like to dress up as their icons. From Disney characters to superheroes, the range is complete enough to amuse you. Bring out the old disguises so they can create their own story.
Ouch! You don’t have the costume of the snow queen and your child only wants this one. No worries! Get some old clothes, a few boxes and a tutorial on YouTube and let a babysitter make a real princess dress. This will allow a moment of sharing between your children and the babysitter and wearing their own outfit will create a sense of accomplishment in your children.
Making DIY with a baby-sitter
While continuing in the creation, take advantage of the internet and all its resources to create your own useful objects or decorations. YouTube is an unlimited source of small tutorials that will allow you to make a helicopter with a paper clip and a string. Then collect the drawer bottoms, and watch the babysitter transform a plastic bottle into a real decorative object that will remind your children of the beautiful afternoon they spent.
Doing physical activities
Have you ever been told that a child needs to let off steam? I’d rather remember it. Give your children an old t-shirt, shorts and hop hop hop hop, let them follow the frantic rhythm of a babysitter.
Make a hide-and-seek
So we agree that this activity depends a lot on the size of your home, but we couldn’t make a selection without talking about this great classic. Count up to 20 and pretend not to find the children. They will only be able to spend a good afternoon.
Bring out the board games
Bring out your Monopoly, Uno or any of these games and your kids will have a great time. Keep a close eye on all players as cheating is often a serious problem. And of course, if you don’t have THE GAME, there are many other possibilities that a babysitter will be happy to set up: a sheet of paper, a pencil and they can make a pictionary, a small tray or many others.
Make play dough
You probably have some leftover modeling clay at the bottom of a cupboard. Watch your children develop their creativity by putting this clay in their hands and discover beautiful works of art. Disadvantage: You’ll have to keep their creation on display in the living room.
Make a karaoke
You have little virtuosos, let a baby-sitter organize a karaoke activity. Plug the computer into the TV and enjoy your children’s wonderful singing, hoping your babysitter doesn’t turn on the Celine Dion lights for you all!
An activity mixing conviviality that will please your children. And as an added bonus, you can also take part by singing your best ditty!
We hope we have been helpful. Now all you have to do is let your future babysitter practice these fun activities to do with your children. And of course, you can also ask her to organize these activities remotely and make them on video!
