Ideas for some fun @ DD9's Bday Sleepover

[Yamyam13]

DD9 is having 2 friends over for a sleepover for her birthday. Initially we planned to take them out bowling and for a meal but DH has ended up away with car caring for his parents so I am alone with them so planning to stay at home and make some fun here.

Any tips?
Easy Games/activities/themes etc.
I have dinner sorted so nothing dinner related - and DD has chosen a cake.

Also, was planning to cover DD's bedroom floor with bedding and let them all sleep together there... that's what we used to do when I was their age.. do you think that's ok or need some sort of camp mattresses?

Give me anything you got! Thanks!

Get them a white T-shirt and fabric pans & transfer stickers.

I did something similar with dd at this age and it was a real hit!

Great idea! Got loads of white tees too! Thanks

We painted mugs for one of DD's birthdays around that age - Woolworths was still around and the plain white mug with a small palate of primary colour paints, plus paintbrush was £1. It kept them occupied and the "setting" of the design was done in the microwave.

We've also done making your own jewellery, again with budget beads and thread kits.

Also design your own pizza and give each child a base and different bowls of toppings.

I used to give them the living room and they would pull cushions off and/or sleep on settees or on the floor in sleeping bags.

Thanks @HuntingoftheSnark the mugs is a lovely idea.
Cant have them in the living room because I'm weak and it is now the dogs domain 🤣 Plus hard floor and no blinds! Mucj cosier upstairs in bedroom

White t-shirts + fabric paints are a wonderful idea! Basically any DIY activity is great, they can make and decorate their own cupcakes or do digital picture collages (there are free photo collage templates for that) and have a contest based on that, small prizes like chocolates would be nice!
Karaoke contest is also a big hit.
