[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD and her friends typically entertain themselves. They do nails and hair. They watch tv. They make up plays. They do crafts - right now they are making jewelry and bookmarks. They make music lys. They listen to music. They shop online and then beg us moms to buy them new clothes. They bake. That's all I can think of. [/quote]

Right now we don't have a tv and tend to not let kids use games/computers. We are wondering if we are outliers and that is part of why bored.

We will keep crafts handy thought they had outgrown that.

Movie and ice skating and such are great but right now we are kind of limited to at home play dates when we host. [/quote]

I am sorry but you are better off not inviting the kids over[/quote]

Is it the TV? We will be able to afford one soon, paying for that addition made us cut the cord and we had been just streaming on computers so far...[/quote]

My 9 year old would not want to go to your house to play bored games. It's not the lack of tv. It is the lack of entertainment period. No electronics, no going out, nothing that cost money. Umm ok... take them to feed the homeless?[/quote]

Wow, you two PPs are pretty terrible.  Are you really raising your kids that way??

My 9 year old has plenty of screen time at home, but would be perfectly fine going to a house for a playdate where there was no TV.

OP, you've gotten some good suggestions.  Good luck.[/quote]
