Hi,
Iv got an 11 year old girl that I mind after school and need ideas on how to keep her occupied! I only have under 5's at the moment so theres nobody here her age. We go to the park, cook and she likes playing games on the laptop.
How can I avoid her being bored for 2 and a half hours??

maybe she can make some new hand puppets or get an easy cross stitch

How about hama beads, word searches, magazines, craft.
Will get back to you if I think of anymore!

All of the above.
I've taught mine to play some card games too, she really enjoys that :D

I have an occasional 10 year old who likes writing stories. I make her booklets to fill and we chat about storylines and characters. Supples of pens etc keep her happy.
Likes Hama beads too.:thumbsup:
i love them too
i print them off to take on the plane when we go on holiday, kids love them too
