My 10 year old daughter is having a sleepover and we don’t know what some good things to do because of the weather

[FunNewt]

i just don’t know what some fun activities would be for the sleepover I have asked my daughter she doesn’t know nither and I don’t want to spend much money say £30 at the maximum

I just want to have one just incase my 12 year old son isn’t having as good of a day because he has to go to the dentist

the thing is I have the activities just incase they get bored

@LadySad dissing? Lol. If I ever get to the stage I bring my son's autism into any and every defence I know it's time to come off the internet.

i find that girls are easy to do a sleepover for and boys are to much

How many kids? What does your daughter like to do? Mine likes to bake so if there are a couple of them, I let them bake and decorated cupcakes or something. Not sure it would work with more. Could buy pizza bases and toppings and let them build their own?

First, you are the one picking up on my posts and saying that my suggestions sound "literally insane" which is a rather hyperbolic way to talk about someone who simply does things a little differently from you. You backed this up with "how lacking in imagination must kids be". Well, tell me you know nothing about autism without telling me you know nothing about autism. They struggle with extended socialisation precisely and completely because they are autistic so yes, I do have to plan a bit more, and yes, that is relevant.

I would be interested to know which other defenses I have ever mentioned my autistic sons in, since apparently it's "any and every one"? You seem to have a little tendency to hyperbole.

Look, I know you perhaps felt a bit silly realising that maybe other people actually do have different situations and do things differently because of that, and it doesn't make them "insane". There's no need to keep attacking. It's ok to just slope off quietly.

More importantly, OP wants some suggestions for things to do so obviously she wants some things up her sleeve. Which is perfectly reasonable.

My daughter the same age would do some of the following at a sleepover

• face masks
• make up
• watch movies / tv
• dance along to stuff on tv
• maybe make bracelets
• maybe bake something / decorate biscuits
• have hot chocolate with marshmallows

@LadySad dissing?🤣 havnt heard that phrase since I was about 15!

We don't organise anything at that age. For food they make their own pizza. You buy ready made dough in Asda and lots of toppings. Passes some time and they all have a tea they like.

Mocktails at 10? Seems to grown up to me.

I'd just give them a fun dinner or order in pizza or Chinese and then let them have a movie night.

Why would two ten year olds be bored at a sleepover? They will play with toys, dance, sing, play games, chat, do art etc and just have fun together.

Bored of her friends after just 2 hours ?

There's two of them, they'll be fine!

Top your own pizza. Popcorn and drinks, duvets in the living room and a movie - something like Elf or Miracle on 34th Street would be perfect at this time of year. Maybe a couple of facemasks and cucumber slices for eyes. That should be plenty of fun.

My 10 year old had regular sleepovers with her friends. I always just make sure they have music, movies, snacks, facemasks and pizza and I don’t see them again then until the morning. I don’t need or want to get involved.
