Baby sitting a nearly 2 year old

I'm baby sitting my nephew tomorrow morning. He titans 2 at the end is the month. I have no idea what to do with him for 5 hours. Any suggestions?
Man plans and God laughs...
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

Depending on what time he gets there, maybe a snack mid morning, and if the weather is nice, take him out to the park/to feed the ducks and let him run around, back for lunch and then if he needs a nap, then do that if not what about baking some simple cornflake cakes or similar or read some books xxThe frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.0

absolutely - get him outside and run about with him, take a ball to roll about with him, feed the ducks, playpark with swings etc. Let him run off some energy

5 hours sounds like a long time but it isn't really at 2 years old. You could actually potter around without any real plans for that time and he'd still have a great time.:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

Only joking. Gillyx's suggestion is great. I would wholeheartedly recommend getting out and about. A two year old stuck indoors is a two year old with more energy than you'll have

A nice long nap somewhere in the 5 hours maybe?
He may bring some toys to play together with.
Are you babysitting at yours or theirs? At theirs there will be lots of things to show you and you could take something small that's interesting...mine like to go though my sisters bag, try her shoes on, see if she has a sticker book lurking about, a toy, or some choc...!
If its at your house going from room to room will amuse him for a long time too.
