best kids toys 8 yr old image
Kimm
Hey I am going to be babysitting 4 kids at the end of march for 4 days!!!!! Ahhh! So anyways there ages are 3, 10, 8, and a baby. What are some ways to keep them all entertained? The 3 yr old especially.
Answer
A. Set up a mini-bowling, the baby can just watch. B. Definitely be outdoors a lot. Kids love competitions, like running races, who can jump the most jumping-jacks in one minute, that kinda thing. You can use stickers and jolly ranchers as prizes. Try to get them to the park if possible, everyone loves that. C. When indoors, pick a movie that all are interested in. For example, most kids like Up or The Lion King. Do it up, with popcorn and fake movie tickets; that gives them an arts and craft to do. D. Arts and crafts are great! You can make drums by stapling paper plates together with pasta in them, you can make spring decorations such as flowers out of pipe cleaners or decorated paper easter eggs, and you can finger paint too. E. Finally, board games are good too. Most kids like Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, and the card game Go Fish. As for the baby, rattles and the aero-saucer (that round seat thing with the toys on the plastic ring surrounding it) are good. Hope this helps; good luck!

Are my kids too young to clean up after themselves?
#1 Mom
I'm a stay at home mom with 2 kids and one on the way. The housework is becoming way too overwhelming. I don't know if its because the pregnancy ( 8 mos) is exhausting me or what, but its getting so much harder to take care of all the housework on top of all the other things I have to take care of daily. I have a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old and it seems like while I'm cleaning up, they are makig more messes. It's like the cleaning up never gets completely done. Are they too young for me to teach them to clean up after themselves.
Answer
Start now. Later makes it much worse!!! Your 1 year old is too young but your 3 year old should be able to put his/her toys and things away when done with them.
