My Favorite Things Kit

Think of your favorite toys, crafts, activities, and movies from when
you were a kid. It’s OK that these items aren’t new—they’ll be new to

the kids you’re babysitting, and that’s what matters!

You Will Need:

• A large tote bag
• Board games
• Movies
• Books
• Dolls or action figures

Food for thought:
Check with the parents before
you make and serve any food.
They can tell you if there are
any foods that are restricted

and whether their child has
any allergies.

ant-free picnic in the living room! Fresh
fruit and veggies are always popular, and
juice or milk from a thermos completes
the snack!

• A picnic basket

• A picnic blanket or checkered tablecloth
• A thermos filled with juice or milk
• Covered cups
• Paper plates Use cookie cutters to
