you could bring rented movies over to the house, find a book that you are really in to, play a cool game with the kids (depending on their age), pretty much anything that you would normally do at home as long as you don't tune the children out.

* Baby-sitting - Babysitting is a tried and true way for any responsible teenager to make money (IF you like kids!). Any community that has families with small children needs baby-sitters. However, it is extremely hard to find trustworthy and reliable baby-sitters who are available on a regular basis. Your business would provide in-home baby-sitting services. There are several things you can do to make your services more valuable. First, you should go take a Red Cross first aid course so that you know how to handle emergencies. You might also want to volunteer at your church if there is a day-care center there. You can pick up a lot of valuable experience that way. Second, you might want to consider teaming up with some like-minded friends. That way your group will be able to say "yes" more often and that will increase the number of calls you get. See this page for some great advice on babysitting.\n    * Lawn or yard care - Another perrenial favorite. During the summer you mow lawns, trim hedges and so on. In the fall you rake leaves. In the winter you shovel snow.\n    * Indoor house painting - You advertise your ability to paint individual rooms in a customer's house. Before undertaking this adventure you should make sure you know what you are doing by reading, working with someone with experience and practicing in your own home.\n    * Baked goods (cookies, cakes etc.) - Many families are too busy to bake their own cookies and cakes these days. However, having fresh-baked goods around the house is nice. Also, a family might need a home-baked cake for a school bake sale or a party. You could provide baked goods for special occasions like these or sell baked goods at local craft or farmers' markets. Check local health laws as you are starting this sort of activity.\n    * Cleaning - If you enjoy cleaning and do it well, then house cleaning for others is straightforward and easy. Find busy people in your neighborhood and clean for them once every week or two.\n    * Dog walking or vacation pet care - Most people who have pets want to give them the best care possible. Your business would help pet owners to do that by walking their pets daily or by providing in-home pet care when owners are on vacation.\n    * Errand-running for busy people - Busy people often do not have time today to stand in line to get their license plates renewed, to buy groceries or to run other errands. Your business would handle these tasks for them.\n    * Washing cars for neighbors - You can simply wash cars. There is also a whole industry called "car detailing". A detailer washes and waxes the outside and REALLY cleans the inside: vacuuming, washing the windows, armor-alling, etc.\n    * Teaching older people how to use computers or the internet - Many older people are totally affraid of computers. If you understand computers you can help them. You could come to the customer's home (or they to your home) and you could charge on a half-hourly or hourly basis.\n    * Using a computer application - learn Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, etc. and then go get or create a part-time job in a small business using your skills (see also the Job Skills article).\n    * Creating Web Sites - If you are artistic and technically minded, there is a great opportunity available right now creating web sites for small businesses. Or try creating your own web site that generates a lot of traffic and make money selling ads on it. (see also the web site article)\n    * Making and selling something unique: A newsletter on something that interests you, something arty, etc. If you are artistic create greeting cards or draw portraits. You will discover that your greatest difficulty doing this is finding outlets, so work to solve that problem (you will learn an incredible amount in the process).

Do volunteer work for a non-profit agency near you. Take up a hobby. (collecting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, arts and crafts, painting, scupture, ceramics, crossword puzzles, gardening, flower arrangements). Read, visit your local library (maybe they need a volunteer). Window shop and people watch at your nearest mall.  Go out to lunch with a girl friend and take in a movie, too.  Go get your hair done and have a manicure and pedicure while you at it.  Buy a pet and devote your time to caring for it and training it.........and if nothing else, have a baby - babies will keep you busy 24/7 and you can meet other new moms at the park when you take the baby out for a walk.

You could always just answer questions on here!  That's something I do when bored, it's quite addictive, and entertaining!\n\nOtherwise, have a nice bath, indulge yourself, do things you might not do - read a good book in there, have some chocolate, give yourself a pedicure, or a manicure.

Plenty.  You could babysit schoolchildren afterschool "under the table".  Make crafts and sell them, offer to housesit for people, sit with sick or elderly people so their families can get out once in a while, do some laundry or housecleaning on the side, offer to garden for $, yard sales, flea markets . . . my aunt buys old jewellry dirt cheap, cleans it and resells at the flea market for 3 times what she paid.  My husband grew and sold flowers one summer . . . my sister babysits on the side.  Good luck!!

Been there..  The most fun is stuff that is available in your kitchen cabinets.  Play music together bang on anything with a different tone.  If your have a large window or arcadia door, poster paint or any water soluble paint and your have a master piece that washes up in no time. Gardening together is fun.  Kids love dirt!  Sitting on the front lawn and exploring the 'little world' in the grass can be great too, if you can deal with little bugs.  Let her call the shots and see what kind of a world she will take you to.  By all means regress to your child hood and remember the things you liked to do.  Have great fun!!!

The above respondant has great ideans.\nBe at the child's eye level when giving directions or just talking with child.  Put away things that you would have to say "no " about.  Have great manipulative materials:  cool toys, of course--but also play doh, crayons, markers, finger paints. . . not all at once! but available.  Toys to stack like blocks.  Little kids need to be shown how to do it.  Sit on the floor and show them, play with them.  Not just blocks, anything.\n\nPut a sheet over a table and play tent , and take a flashlight in there!  Give them cups and empty bottles (plastic) and a colander (strainer) in the bathtub.  Put food coloring, just a few drops, in the bathwater.\nLet them help cook, measure; talk about what you're making. . . grow something, in a pot or in the yard. . . \ntake care of pets together; go on walks, and read read read.\nLimit tv and video games, and let whatever they watch be age appropriate. . . have fun. think about what's fun and do it with them.  Dance crazy, sleep in the backyard together, buy a sandbox, or put some sand in a little rubbermaid container and play with in on the front porch. Answer questions when your kids ask, about rainbows or God or where babies come from. . . remember what it felt like to be a child. . .

Clean the house, rent video games, take a long walk, drive to a random location and camp out, learn a new hobby, watch television, play on the internet, call random people and ask if their fridge is running and (if they say it is) tell them to go catch it - laugh hysterically before hanging up, or take a nice long nap like I wish I was taking right now.

Buy movies and make popcorn. Set out a stereo with a bunch of your daughter's favorite CDs for them to dance to. In the morning, make a scavenger hunt around the house, each clue leadings your daughter and her friends to a different small prize. And for you, don't expect to get too much sleep ;)
