what are some fun activities and crafts to do with boys?

Any websites with good ideas or books that are filled with indoor activities? With rainy days and cold weather I sometimes feel clueless when babysitting! Also, a wide age range would be helpful (3-10 yrs)

    The little ones like to make a mess, so anything with glue and paint works well.
    baking is good with boys, they enjoy the chemistry and the results. with the littler ones you can make slice and bake cookies and give them icing in bowls to ice their cookies.
    Salt dough is also a good activity, the kids roll out the dough, use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, you bake them, they paint them, and you can hang them up.
    try familyfun.com for some great ideas

    cheap too. just a block of would some little plastic wheels and paint.
    if your really brave you can do some cool cut outs and designs with a ban saw.
