At late notice I am babysitting my friends 2 kids. So tomorrow I will have my 2 girls (miss J is 23months) then an 18month old and a 3.5 yr old. I have them from 6.30am till 6 tomorrow night.
What can I do with them other than tv? I'll make some play dough in the morning for them, Any other suggestions? Maybe a cubby house? I'm open to all suggestions. Mainly indoor stuff cause I think it's going to be raining still
What the others said as well as:
reading books,
singing songs with actions,
a variation of simon says where they just copy,
have you got any boxes? Could make a cubby or put things in them- sorting games,
hide and seek toys- can you find the ball? etc...
Will keep thinking.
Dancing to music
play with toys on the loungeroom floor
dress ups (did someone already say that?)
blowing bubbles- you and could give the kiddies a go too, maybe put a sheet down or something though lol

pretend shops - get some stuff out of your pantry and set it up on the bench, takes turns to be the shop keeper.
get out some of your old clothes and shoes and play dressup
dye some tubular noodles/pasta (if you have them) with food dye and let them string them onto some ribbon/twine
puzzles and drawing are huge here
