To ask how to occupy a 10 year old at a wedding

[buzzmoon]

Planning on making little kids packs for my wedding. Will have things like colouring book, bubbles etc. I've got a few older kids, both boys and girls and don't know what things I could put in for them that's not too kiddy, or do you think they're too old for the whole thing? Don't want them to feel left out, or bored. I've no idea! Thanks :)

My kids were 9 when my brother got married. There was a lot of waiting about but they both coped very well, had a bit of a dance, took a few pictures with the disposable cameras etc. We took them out for a bit of a walk about as it was at a country house.

They're both autistic and coped very well without anything specifically laid on for them.

Older kids like little puzzles like the square ones with sliding tiles or wooden ones or the little ball bearing ones. We did 'party bags ' for under 12s at dd's wedding. Every child had bubbles + other bits and there were a few spares for older folk to have a go.

I would definitely say a disposable camera...that was the main attraction for both of mine at two weddings last year.

Maybe a puzzle type book rather than colouring? Simple brain teasers/jokes etc?
