Set a task. Decide they're going to do a picture for their mums. If you don't have any paints, you can go outside and find 'found objects' like leaves, feathers, twigs, sand etc, and make a collage. THis gets them outside for five minutes and also requires them to use their creativity. All you need is some glue and some paper. If you have paints, get a potato and cut stamps out of it, and make stamp pictures.
You know those cheap paper towels with the little dimples in them? Well a felt tip pen and a piece of paper towel makes a great dot picture. Just colour all the dots different colours.
Do some baking. Get a recipe for something simple, like a cake, or chocolate crackles, or biscuits, and let everyone have a stir. This will use up a couple of hours! And then everyone has to help wash the dishes and dry them too. Google recipes for the ingredients you have in the cupboard, and see if you can find one.
Do you have any jigsaw puzzles? You can get a few cheap ones at a department store. Make it a group activity, and give each kid a corner to work on. Or you can make necklaces out of macaroni and string, and colour the macaroni with paints and leave to dry for a while before stringing them.
Try learning a simple card game like 'go fish' and then having a tournament! Or play a fantasy game like dress ups. Make silly hats out of newspaper and pretend to be pirates. Everyone has to talk like a pirate. The sillier the better. Kids love that sort of thing.
Musical chairs. Get out a cd player and have one kid in charge of it. Join in.
Make musical instruments out of household objects. Rubber bands and saucepans are essential. Have an orchestra. Or if you like you can have a sing along.
Wow, I feel so bad for you haha. Put a movie on.
Watch a movie
play I spy
color a picture for their moms
read a quiet book
Under 8 but over what age? Maybe watch a movie, play a board game, dance around with music, all sit down and color pictures, read stories, make cookies, make popcorn, blow bubbles, pillow fight....that's all I can think of right now. Have fun!!
well you know what... you can do a lot of activities at home with 3 kids around!... you can either teach them how to draw, to read, how to bike around inside your gate..... stuffs like that. but if you like doing something artsy and craftsy(hehehe...) you can teach them how to make paperdolls(that is if they're all girls...) actually, there's really a lot of things to do eith kids around. you just have to think for it and be creative,right?
play musical chairs!!

or play a fun active game, like twister.
movies, play-doh, fingerpainting, coloring... theres tons of stuff
