If you're a babysitter you know the struggle. Long hours with bored kids and nothing to do, wanting to earn your money and have fun with the kids. Well never fear, here are some really fun crafts to completely erase the boredom. They may require some planning ahead, but trust me, they're well worth it.

1. Slime

All it takes is some white glue, borax and warm water, While mixing it, you can jazz it up and add glitter, food coloring, whatever you'd like. This is a big trend for kids right now, and they will positively love it.

2. Shaving cream

A fun, classic way to entertain kids. They can draw and erase whatever they want in a super (don't worry, it's easy to clean) messy way, They'll be entertained for hours.

3. Borax Crystals

Dissolve borax in boiling water in a glass container, add food coloring, suspend a pipe cleaner and boom, overnight you made your own crystals. You may not be there for the results, but the anticipation and assembly will be just as much fun.

4. Crayon drip art

You've seen the pictures on pinterest. Just hot glue crayons along the top of a canvas and melt them with a hair dryer, Super easy and fun...just watch out for hot wax.

5. Snowflakes

Anyone can make a snowflake, they're beautiful and fun to create. Kids will love them.
