on how to entertain an 11 year old girl? Since my niece is coming to stay with us for a bit till her little sis get's out of the hospitol.
I know nothing about 11 year old kids. Not a clue. i could do sand sculpting with her. But the beach right now is pretty cold. My best friend has daughter's close to her age and have offered to let her hang out with them but they don't get out of school till next week so it's just me and dh. who has even less of a clue then me. I thought we could do christmas project stuff.

Walks on the beach, maybe 11year-olds are still interested in finding stuff (I was....)?
Renting a movie?
Sure, christmas crafty stuff might entice?

Baking cookies. Making snowflakes. Maybe help her make a crafty thing for her parents and sis as a present? Might cheer everybody up!

nice xmas cards can be made with cut-out shapes, watercolor, a toothbrush and a tea sieve.
rub the toothbrush inside the sieve to spray the color onto cards.
cover the area well in newspaper.
a Tree shape, and a couple gold star stickers - done.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.
