Darling Daughters broken leg

Hi all,
wondering if anyone has any advice, my DD aged 6, has broken her leg and I’ve exhausted the list of things to do to keep her occupied!!! Anyone got any suggestions?? I’m also 34 weeks pregnant and have a 4 year old DS.

Hope she feels better soon!

I have an easily bored 6yo DD- some of the things that have kept her occupied for more than 7 minutes are:

A kids diamond art- I found a good Chad Valley one from Argos. Was about £10, but had about 6 pictures to complete.

Making stop motion videos. Apple have a free app for this. My DD makes little videos using Lego, playmobil people, etc.

Rock painting or paint by numbers.

Jigsaw puzzles- 100 or 250 piece are about right for her now.

Foil art.

Failing that.... iPad!

Hope that helps and she's better soon!

Meant to also say to look at the Baker Ross website- they have 1000s of different little art/ craft sets. It's not the cheapest, but you sometimes get things on offer or 3 for 2 deals.

Brilliant- thank you, just had a look at that website and so much stuff!! I'll probably use it once she's healed to keep them entertained!
