Ideas for things to do with four-year-old girl?
I have to babysit a four-year-old girl who is obsessed with her Barbie Mariposa DVD, and all she wants to do is watch her Barbie movies and her Bratz dolls DVD. Any ideas for what I could do to get her out of the house for a while? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Not that I’ve ever babysitted a 4-year-old girl before, so try these at your own risk:
1) Crafts, such as those found here:

They require really basic materials such as paper plates, brown paper bags, paint, string, etc.
If there are any scissors and whatnot involved, be sure to handle those for her.
2) One Word: Play-Doh.
3) Two Words: Coloring Book. Or just picture books. Though it won’t get her out of the house much.
4) You could try pretending things with her. Like, tell her that for the next 10 minutes, you are both princesses and the couch is your castle (but she still must follow all the rules!). Then do things like explore the house and pointing out objects as something else, almost like a metaphor. (“Your bookcase full of picture books is actually the royal library!”)
5) Bake cookies with her. Make sure she doesn’t eat raw cookie dough and that she doesn’t touch the oven or hot cookies, and that she washes her hands, but let her shape the cookies or something.
Basically, 4-5 year olds love exploration, joy, creative outlets. Let them experience life the best they can before society clouds their bright and expressive minds.
