Answer 2

Generally little girls like crafts. Why not make pet rocks? Find two rocks that are about the size of your hand (the smooth river rock landscaping stones work best but any old rocks will do.) Brings yarn, feathers, glue, googly eyes and anything else you can think of to decorate them. You can give your "pets" names, collars, leashes etc.. Why not take them for a walk?

You could also bring and old game she wouldn't have played before, like the old Polly pockets (the small ones that really did fit in a pocket!) Bring a few board games too, Jenga and Twister are big hits but whatever you have will work. Anything you do will be cool because you are older. Just smile and be excited about everything.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

polish her fingernails and toe nails.    affix some nail jewelry then let her give you a manicure.

bake some cookies together.     make some sugar cookies, use the cookie cutters, decorate with colored sugars or with some frosting.    chocolate chip cookies are good, too.

it's lame, but let her watch some t.v.    girls love hannah montana, icarly, drake and josh, etc.

Answer 4

Most kids like board games.

Mad Libs are always fun.  You can get those at a book store for pretty cheap.

Answer 5

you could always bake some cookies or a cake, draw pictures, color, do each others make up and hair! my 8 year daughter enjoys all of these ideas or you could even ask the child what she would like to do

Answer 6

Boy or girl?

You can watch some classic Disney movies, play trains/dolls,

read books, make up fun stories, print out some fun coloring sheets.
