Craft ideas for kids

[tilmorninlight.livejournal.com]

So our neighbors across the street, the wife just had surgery again (due to a car accident from before) and will be bed ridden for a few months. She asked if I'd mind watching their daughter whose 9 2 hours a day, help her with her homework, hang out with her, pck her up from her bus stop. I'll also be watching her in the summer after my semester ends in 2 weeks, and I want to do crafts with her and stuff to help keep her mind off of everything, because I think she's starting to get depressed about it, how her mom can't do things other moms can, etc. Does anyone know of a good craft website for kids or some ideas? I need some ideas, I havent babysat in years. I'm a piano player so I'm going to give her piano lessons (she loooves music) sometimes and take her to parks, meuseums, the zoo, etc, but I really wanna let her express herself creatively and have a creative outlet with everything that's going on...


Any help or suggestions as to where to get craft ideas would be really great. Thanks so much, or if you know a community that could help!
