What are some good crafts for 8/9 year old boys? 10 points.?

I’m gonna be babysitting twins (8 or 9 yrs old) and I’m not sure what I should do to keep them entertained. They both love baseball, but I don’t really want to take them outside with out parental permission. What are some fun crafts that would keep them entertained. I usually do little crafts like I make little puppets with paper bags and stuff with the 4 and 5 year olds, but would the 8/9 year old boys think thats babyish?? idk.. lol. Thanks for the help! 10 points for best answer :)

    Look into crafts that the boyscouts do. They typically like to do outdoors type things. Make birdfeeders with them and have them build and construct things. Look online for some cool science projects like making a volcano and constructing things from modeling clay. Boys love getting dirty and messy!

    I babysitted an 7 yr old and all we did was play video games! If you ask the parents if you can take them out, they’ll probably comply. Just have an arsenal of band-aids and Neosporin. Um, maybe like little airplanes or cars, especially the ones they can decorate with stickers all by themselves.
