Get some scratching posts and place them around the house. Make sure that you take the kittens over to the post every so oftern during the day and move their paws on the post in a scratching fashion. This will save your furniture in the long run.

Get a squirt bottle filled with water and use that to discipline the kittens if they are doing something you don't want them to. But only squirt them if you catch them in the act. If you punish them after the fact they won't know what they are being punished for.

buy some little balls to roll around and have them chase after. From what I've been told catnip doesn't affect kittens. so when they are a little older get some catnip mice for them. You may be able to train them to play fetch with the catnip mice - my siamese loves to play fetch.

If you can, buy or build them a "kitty condo" that they can play on, sleep on, and if covered with carpet - scratch on. My cats go through phases but usually there is one sleeping on the condo
