Babysitting Photo Shoot

Hey, ya'll! You know who it is, and if you don't, it's Charline! How are you doing? Alrighty, this is going to be a pretty short post, but I really like this idea. Do you ever babysit? Well I was thinking, and I think I've come up with a good activity that will take up at least an hour and a half.

You can do their hair and makeup and pick out a cute outfit for them to wear, and then you let them pretend to be a model. They can walk the "catwalk" and they can go to the "studio" for a photo shoot. And if you truly want to go above and beyond, take the pictures and upload them to the computer. You can do an interview with them while you're still there, and ask them about what they're interested in. Ask them tons of questions and write them all down as if you are a reporter.

Type up the interview, and an article about your charge, pretending that they are an incredibly famous model, actress, or singer. Then you put a bunch of the pictures you took into a document or a slide show and print them, making an "all about ____________" magazine. You can include a filmography, and possibly a list of designers that they have "modeled" for. When you get home, print it up and tie it together with ribbons or staple it together, and give it to them the next time you see them.

It's a great, fun idea that will keep your charge and you interested and busy for a while, and it's something that they will remember forever. Their parents will love it too!

So much for a short post!
