nail polish is a GREAT way to get toddler girls to sit still
For when you need them to not get into anything and everything--paint their nails, tell them you've given them a manicure, and that they have to be very careful not to smudge up their fingers because the polish needs time to dry. Seriously--you can buy a good fifteen minutes to a half-hour of peace and quiest with this.
(Note: I don't advocate little girls not getting their hands dirty or being inactive or anything like that. This is just something I picked up while babysitting and used to get the kid to STAY IN BED till she fell asleep during my weekly babysitting gig.)
