    dance around and play with them with toys and stuff. ask them what they want to do. you could make play doh with them, or make crafts.

    have fun and whatever you do, be safe!!! (im sure you know that)

    GOOD LUCK!!!

    How long will you have them? I agree with the bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Those are activities that are not to messy and they have very little chance of getting hurt. You could also take them to a park, find a good video or movie for them; something animated and entertaining. Make sure you make time for snacks and a nap, the 3 year old is likely to get tired after playing.

    Have you taken the Red Cross's Babysitter's class. That should be a first step. By the way, you sound like you will be a wonderful babysitter. Just keep things simple. Little kids like running through the sprinkler, or drawing with sidewalk chalk or bubbles!
