Fun Babysitting Activities Kids Love (That Keep Them Busy and Happy!)
Babysitting isn’t just about keeping kids safe it’s also about keeping them engaged, creative, and smiling.
At QuickSitters, our babysitters love bringing fun, hands-on activities that make every booking feel special. Whether you’re watching toddlers or older kids, these ideas are easy to set up, require little cleanup, and create moments kids remember.
Creative Craft Time
Kids love expressing themselves through art. Bring simple craft supplies paper, stickers, crayons, or pipe cleaners and let them make something special.
Indoor Scavenger Hunt
Turn the house into a fun adventure! Create a short list of items for the kids to find a red toy, something soft, something that smells nice.
Set a timer and cheer them on as they hunt. This game builds teamwork and keeps kids moving without needing to go outside.
Storytelling With a Twist
Let kids pick their favorite book, but add a creative twist — use funny voices, act out characters, or let the kids be the storytellers.
If they’re older, try a “create-your-own-story” challenge: you start the story, and each person adds one sentence.
It sparks imagination and laughter every time!
Mini Dance Party
Play upbeat, family-friendly songs and turn the living room into a dance floor.
Encourage kids to teach you their favorite moves they love being the leaders!
Music is an easy way to release energy, especially before bedtime or after homework.
Calm-Down Coloring Time
When it’s time to relax, pull out some coloring books or printable pages
Coloring helps children focus, calm down, and transition smoothly before bedtime.
