So right now this is in general discussion because obviously I am not allowed to add my interest onto here. Anyway I'm writing this because I've been babysitting my nephews and lately I'm trying to find activities to occupy them otherwise they'll get into something they shouldn't. They aren't allowed outside and can not read or write, and any site I look up has to do with them reading and writing and them being outside. I do have a few activities like a savenger hunt, board games, reading them books, drawing, coloring, and painting, but even with those I'm afraid they won't like them. So any advice or activity suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ^^

I am also a babysitter of my 4-year old niece and 3-year old nephew. I keep them busy by asking them questions so that they will ask me in return with "never-ending" questions. Sometimes I also dance with them or sing them songs so that they won't get bored. Sometimes, I also let them watch Barney shows on TV where FUN AND LEARNING never end. Good luck with your baby-sitting. Have fun!
