[quote=Anonymous]My rising 4th grade DD is in camp for much of the summer, but that still leaves weekends pretty wide open, plus afternoons. I'm not scheduling every minute and I have other kids who have activities of their own (plus camp). I need some things to keep her busy on her own. She's an extreme extrovert who always wants siblings or parents to entertain her. No matter how much concentrated time she gets from someone else, she always craves more. It's pretty rare for her to be happy chilling by herself.

She doesn't really play with any toys by herself - will play for hours, but only if she has a sibling to play with.

She enjoys painting and beading and will happily do those for a while.

Loves board games or card games, but not by herself (and there aren't many kid one player games).

Isn't into imaginative play except with a sibling.

Will get really into reading for a day or two, then not want to touch a book except if required to.

I'm trying to think of other crafty ideas for her that she might find interesting, since it feels like everything around the house is boring to her.[/quote]
