Fun things to do while babysitting?

I'm babysitting a 3yr old and a 6yr old for the whole summer and im running out of ideas to do with them! I need some suggestions of games, activities, crafts or projects to do with them ! Thanks I really need your help !

Answer:

1Ocean in a bottle ~ You will need: 2 plastic soda or water bottles some water some blue food coloring some vegetable oil Clean the bottles and remove the labelsFill the bottles, just to where they start to get skinny, (about 2 inches from the top of the bottle) with waterAdd a few drops of blue food coloring and replace the cap and shakeAdd more food coloring to achieve the desired shade of blueThen ad the vegetable oil to the neck of the bottle, not to the very top but just to the bottom of the neck of the bottleCap the bottles and shake, roll or spin.voila! Ocean in a bottle! 2Write a story with them, about their life! Have them draw and color the pictures3Conduct some science experimentsGoogle kid's science experiments4Make home made playdoh with them and have them create things and then paint them5Cut out magazine photo's (or other safe photo's) and glue them to popsicle sticksThen have a puppet show6Make a music video 7Have a photo shoot with the kids 8Make costumes out of paper bags, aluminum foil and string 9Make paper mache 10put mysterious food in bowls and have the kids, blind folded, put in their hands and guess what is in the bowlsList of games: 1Have your own back yard olympics 2Make a slip and slide 3Play hide and seek, tag or kick ball 4Teach them something new, like a cheer or a dance 5Twister, Jenga or Hungry Hungry Hippo's
(3) the act of pounding with a hammer DECREASES the volume of the ball of foil For an object to float it needs to displace fluid equal to its weightPounding the aluminium foil decreases it's volume and therefore decreases the amount of water displaced causing it to sink
Well, to add to the confusion, here is some more understanding: I took a aluminum foil about 15x15 cm in dimensionIt certainly did drift when it used to be put on waterI suppose we can expect this is sure to surface tensionWhat i do know is that surface anxiety breaks when the liquid is disturbed(inform me if i am unsuitable.) So, I disturbed the waterStill it floatedI beaten it right into a small ball of about 1.5 cm in diameterThrew it in waterThe ball was once floatingCan any individual give an explanation for these phenomenons? Thanks!
The answer is 31 and 2 are definitely wrong because aluminum is more dense than water, and pounding the foil does not affect its mass4 is not correct because this is not the function ships use to float.
