Babysitting three kids under the age of 10. They love the Avengers, Batman, Spiderman, and Transformers.

Seeking geeky activities to do with them, especially outdoors.

I’d love to hear any and all ideas! (Reblog from me with your idea; I’ll reblog it…

Ah, thanks so much! :D

*thinks* They can handle it, I think. One that is really popular among my brothers and sisters is this http://i46.tinypic.com/34g4ug7.png , though a bigger version. Maybe do both simple and complicated, that way you’re safe.

Awesome! Oh, I’m not sure about the paint. I’m sure you could Google it or ask someone - I’m sorry, I don’t paint a lot and I haven’t done this project for like a decade. XD Sorry, I know I said I could get more info, but I mostly meant about the potatoes, ‘cos I figured that would sound weird if you maybe hadn’t done it before.

Thanks! Sounds fantastic!

They are. Working with them is not my area of talent, but apparently there’s more fun you can have with them than I thought - I hardly knew that until I started replying, here!

Ah hah, that’s the one I found. <grin> Thanks, I’ll give it a go. (I found Doctor Who colouring sheets too but **sad** they don’t know Doctor Who. I intend on changing this if their mom lets me watch some with them.) 

My mom was never too keen on letting us use potaytoes for painting projects but I know I’ve done it at least once. XD It is sort of an odd idea but rather clever too… I’m sure I can find some sort of paint for it. My local Joanns store will likely have some ideas too. <grin> 

If I come out with anything photographable, I shall do so.
