Babysitting Service

So in December we had two activities, to keep with the Christmas spirit we really wanted to do a service project. Even though it is now May, this activity could definitely be adapted. We did the service project in two parts. For the first activity, we told the girls that we wanted to do a service project for their families. We figured that because their moms and dads were so busy trying to get ready for Christmas, that we could watch the girls siblings. To gett he girls involved we had them brainstorm. We first had them help figure out how many kids there would be and also come up with ideas of how we would entertain them.

As you can see they came up with some great ideas!

Next we needed to let the parents know what we were doing so the girls decorated an invitation with their cute fingerprints to look like Christmas lights!

Lastly for this activity we wanted to make little goody bags for the kiddos we babysat. 

The girls did a great job getting ready for the babysitting project.

Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the girls babysitting but the parents seemed to love the chance for a break and the girls had a blast babysitting! We ended up splitting the kids into two groups. The younger ones played with the nursery toys while the older kids were taken to the gym. The girls were in charge of some games and everyone had a blast running around. For the last half an hour we had the kids watch a Christmas movie and eat popcorn.  When their parents picked them up they got their little goody bags!
It was a perfect end to the night.
