When do girls stop playing with toys? And then what?

She's mostly into drawing, crafts, and of course her iPad, but with school out today, me having to work, but trying to still limit screen time, she complained about being bored. Her little brother was happy to play with his toys but I'm unsure what is the stage for DD.

Makeup. Brace yourself.

Not a lot of playing with toys independently by age 9-10 except for Lego sets. She'll do crafts, read, play instrument, practice magic tricks. But with others, still very much into card games and board games. They'll also write and perform skits and puppet shows.
