Looking for some ideas to entertain my four year old after school. Anything aside from stickers, coloring, play doh, kinetic sand? She’s difficult and disruptive. I really need her to be occupied otherwise she gets into trouble.

Are you trying to keep her occupied while you are doing other things? Some kids don't have the skill to play by themselves or just don't like it.
Does she like toys? If so, take out a toy and start playing with her in the room you will be in. Start off the play for a few minutes and then she may be able to continue with you in the background.

Yes I have other kids to do homework with and a baby, and supper. I come home at 4:30.
So I need her to be occupied. She can sit in the kitchen with me but really needs to be doing something.

My children were occupied beautifully yesterday, coloring salt with chalk and then pouring in to a container.
Ages 3 and 5.

These are some activities my 4yr old enjoys
Coloring with crayons in coloring book
Drawing with markers in her sketch pad (she's no major artist but you'd be surprised what kids come up with when given the space)
Cutting out pictures of things she likes in weekly circulars, making a collage from those pictures
Perler beads, they make jumbo ones too, which are easier
Beading necklaces
Coloring salt, like someone mentioned already
Playing with putty on the porch
Making paper bag puppets
Coloring paper plates

Get super washable markers & then let her do her thing. The only surface It doesn't come out of is raw wood.
