Ideas for things to do with four-year-old girl?

I have on DVD babysit a four-year-old girl obsessed with her Barbie Mariposa, and all they want to do is watch her movies and her Barbie Bratz DVD. Any ideas what I could do to get her out of the house for a while? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated be.

Not that I ever babysitted a 4-year-old girl before, so try this at your own risk: 1) Crafts, such as those found here: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/toddler/ They really need basic materials such as paper plates, brown paper bags, paint, rope, etc. If there is a pair of scissors and what not to be involved, especially for grip her. 2) One word: Play-Doh:. 3) Two Words Coloring Book. Or just picture books. But it will not get her out of the house much. 4) You could try to pretend things with her. Like, tell her that for the next 10 minutes, you're both princesses and the bank is your castle (but they still must comply with the rules!). Then things like the house to explore and pointing to objects as something else, almost like a metaphor. ("Your library of picture books is actually the royal library!") 5) baking cookies with her. Make sure they do not eat raw cookie dough and they do not touch the hot oven or cookies, and she washes her hands, but. showed her the form of biscuits or something fundamental, 4-5 year olds joy love exploration, and creative outlets. Let them experience life the best they can before their society clouds clear and expressive mind.
