Have you asked your DD what she'd like to do? Non-alcoholic cocktails and gingerbread men decorating sounds cute and fun, and most ten years olds would enjoy that.

I asked her last night and she didn’t know what she wanted to do

Bottle of nail polish and they can paint each others nails?

Big colouring book /sheets

Biscuit decorating - buy plain biscuits like rich tea and lots of icing and decorations

They will probably just be happy playing though!

Yeah they probably will be I will get them some nail polish later when I go take my 12 year old son to the dentist

You could do a non alcoholic ‘cocktail’ station. Different juices, cordials, lemonade, maraschino cherries etc. If you don’t mind the inevitable mess!

No I don’t mind mess as long as they have fun

Takeaway and midnight feast is all a sleepover should cost, you don't pay for activities, they'll entertain themselves.

Yh that is true

Box of after 8s. Take turns putting one on forehead. They have to get in mouth without touching with hands

I wouldn’t organise anything either other than some popcorn and snacks for a movie. Take them on an Autumn walk if you want to get them out

Party games like the one where you try and eat a bar of chocolate with knife and fork wearing gloves, hat and scarf. Or acandy cane hunt round the house. Or a crafty activity like decorating gingerbreadmen (I'd bake plain gingerbread men).

I could go buy the stuff and we do that

Agree with PP, you don't need to organise activities for 10 years olds.

I don’t plan activities for sleepovers for this age. They just go in the bedroom and play and watch movies with snacks and mess about with skincare. Maybe order pizzas for dinner.

That is what girls do now a days that age lol🤣
