Turn off the T.V.! 5 awesome things to do inside when ya babysit


When the temps are in the negatives, it’s hard to resist plopping the kiddos you babysit in front of the TV for the day. Although it may seem like it’s the best thing to do, there are tons of ways to have fun without having to turn on the TV or take a step outside!

Have a dance party

Turn on the tunes and crank up the volume! Dancing and singing out loud to your fave songs will get everyone in a happy mood and keep ya warm! Bonus: it get’s the kids active while staying indoors!

Snowflakes and snowmen

You don’t have to leave the house for these snowflakes and snowmen! Bring the cold fun inside by doing arts and crafts. Make snowflakes using paper and scissors and snowmen by gluing cotton balls together. Not an artsy chica? Print out step by step instructions to help ya along the way.

The Sing-Off

Who says you need a karaoke machine to sing along to the hits? Take turns belting out songs chosen by the other kids there. It’s simple and will have everyone playing along. Bonus points awarded for a spectacular air guitar!

Board Game Marathon

Instead of a movie marathon, bring along some games that you loved to play as a kid. This is a great way to get the kids’ brains working while still having tons of fun.

Put on a play

What kid doesn’t dream of being the action hero or the princess? Use their imagination to your advantage and write a script perfect for each kid and then act it out. It’s a super fun way to encourage creativity and get some laughs.
