I've babysat these two little girls, Evyn and Gracyn, several times. I love them to death, but they're so active! Evyn is 2.5 years, and Gracyn is 3.5 years. They're coming over tomorrow and I'm wondering if anyone has any cool ideas for things to do with them?

We all get bored when all we do is watch movies or read stories, because they're pretty young, and they have a small attention span but a lot of energy.

I'm not sure what to do with them. I don't have Kid friendly scissors, so I'm worried about crafts, unless I pre-cut things, but when then I'm not sure what kind of crafts to do. If anyone has an easy recipe for homemade play dough, that would be great. Or some kind of plaster we can make foot or hand print moulds, which I think would be really neat. Or maybe even foot prints from paint, or finger painting, face paints.

I'm just looking for 2/3 year old, friendly, fun, preferably cheap activities.
