My DD is having a birthday sleepover later with 3 other 11 year old girls.

Please can I have ideas to keep them amused? And ideas of films on Netflix or Amazon video they might like ?

I have left this to the last minute.

How about some "baking" ideas.... fudge can be quick and easy (just condensed milk and chocolate) or peppermint creams. or even buns if you are prepared to let them near the oven.

I'd start with baking cupcakes or decorating biscuits- something Christmassy. You can get loads of ideas on Pinterest,
Then a Christmas activity like making cards,
You could do makeovers, paint nails then a home made face mask (again Pinterest is your friend),
Finish off with a movie and Home-popped popcorn

A gingerbread house from Aldi/Lidl to decorate?

Baking, nails, make up. Do you have snow? That will pass some time.

Definitely let them choose the film. Do you have pets? 11yr here loves filming the dog and trying to teach it tricks when friends are here.

Make pizza together
Milkshakes with their favourite chocolate bars
Karaoke off YouTube maybe

have they seen gremlins? It's old but christmassy and a little scary. Free on Amazon prime

Ask her! Children vary so much at that age what some might love, others might think 'babyish'.

Yes, nails and makeup x
