I'm babysitting 3 kids and I want to know how to entertain them. The boy is 9 and there are two little girls who are 5 and 7. How can I entertain them for 3 1/2 hours!?
Answer
Start out by having the kids give you a tour of the house, their rooms, and show you their favorite toys. With 3 kids, that can take a while. "how does this one work? Can we play this game? Oooh, that looks like fun, let's set this up so you can show me how it works!"
Take them in the kitchen with you. At some point, they'll probably want a snack. Take your time with it. Take out a bunch of stuff: graham crackers, peanut butter, M&Ms, honey, marshmellows, e.t.c. Let them stack the graham cracker squares with their favorite goodies and gobble it down! That takes time!
After that, the kids will probably be sticky and messy. Take them outside and play in the sprinkler!
That will EASILY fill up 3 1/2 hours. AND its a great way to stay interactive with the kids and not just plop them in front of a television or computer.

what is an interactive toy?

Answer
It's a (usually electronic) toy that responds to the child's actions. One easy example is a Tickle-Me-Elmo doll--if you press its stomach, it'll respond by shaking and making laughing sounds. It doesn't necessarily have to be a doll or a vehicle; anything from laptops designed for kids to books that make sounds when you touch an attached electronic pen to a picture on a page can be classified as an interactive toy.
In other words, any toy that has an automated response to something the kid does to it, whether it lights up, moves, or makes sounds--is an interactive toy. It shouldn't be a direct effect: e.g. a rubber duck that squeaks when squeezed probably wouldn't be called an interactive toy, but when Elmo does a two-minute dance routine if you push a button on his foot, that's an interactive toy.
