too young for boys, too old for toys - what kind of party for 10 yr old dd?

[cariboo]

Help! What can I do? Dd's birthday is in 2 weeks &, being supermummy, I have to come up with some incredible solution for a birthday party. One which doesn't involve lots of dosh, otherwise I'd take them all to Eurodisney. Thanks for ANY ideas!

Pyjama party and sleepover - dvds/ice cream factory etc
Cinema/Pizza
Home-made Nail party
Swimming/Pizza etc

Thanks hocuspontas but her bff is already doing a sleepover the week before (groan!)

Bowling/pizza
Ice skating/pizza
rock climbing wall/food of some sort (pizza again? )
cooking party (give white aprons that they can customise with permanent markers as party gift)

Take 2 or 3 friends for the day to an amusement park, or the zoo, or theatre show?

have you got a pottery cafe near you. this was a big hit for my dd's 10th.

carumbas! now she says we have to invite the whole class!

No guarantees about weather, if we had a day like today, paddling pool and barbecue would be good.

Craft party - Baker Ross got some good simple ideas.
