I’m vacationing with two younger cousins, girls ages 5 and 6, for two weeks and I always end up being the babysitter.
Anyone have some ideas on how to keep them entertained in the house?
Simple crafts or game ideas maybe?
They love science kind of experiments like Baking Soda And Vinegar or the trick with food dye and soap in milk.
Any one know any other things like these?
I babysit kids that age and they love making things too- such as experiments! Try making play-doh on the stove! fun activity and easy too!

if i use vinegar and baking soda to clean drain……need ventilation?
i used vinegar and baking soda to clean my clogged drain…do I need to ventilate the bathroom? I mean it’s non-toxic right? Plus I live in a studio the room is small…..
i’m just worried about inhaling the chemical reaction of hte Baking Soda And Vinegar.
Don’t believe it is toxic. However, if you are prone to lung disorders, ventilation is a good idea.
BTW: That combination will also exfoliate oily skin well.
Kitchen Appliance Cleaning : How to Use Baking Soda as a Drain Cleaner
I have a niece that is turning seven within the next few days, and I need an idea on what to get her for her gift! She is a sweet, very mature little girl (very smart and very polite). I don’t mind spending a little extra on her (maybe 50-60 bucks or a bunch of inexpensive things thrown together); she is also my husband’s Godchild. I am looking for some neat ideas. Can you please throw some ideas at me that your little girl loves playing with or something that you loved when you were a kid? Thank so much!
P.S. I have thought of an American Girl Doll, easy bake oven, jewelry, nail polish, bean bag, sleeping bag — but she has all these things already! I would greatly appreciate some help!
you could get her an American girl accessory. There are sooo many and if you go on americangirl.com/shop you can browse through. I personally suggest bigger things unlike shoes and fake food because they are very easy to lose, even me at 11 years old it is still hard enough on me to keep it all together and organized. Hope this helps! ~Abby CCGA
