Messy is what unites 9yo and 3yo and is where 5yos live. Key to successful babysitting is to do fun stuff they are usually not allowed to at home. unfortunately that usually means messy.
OK can you get large pieces of paper? like the ends of printing rolls? You can have each kid lie down while the other draws tound them, then they cut out the shapes and decorate them/color them as themselves or as they would like to be. You can provide yarn for hair, wobbly eyes.... (not too expensive ofr too messy).... ? any good?
Or music. Can you teach them to play something? Or sing something where they all have a differnet part to sing?
What about making mother's day presents?
