Arts and Crafts are really good. Try buying some pipe cleaners and beads. When she puts beads on the pipe cleaners she can bend the pipe cleaners into any shape she wants. Since Valentines Day is near try making some hearts. You can buy the beads and pipe cleaners at Wal-Mart for a total of about 7 dollars. Also since she is a girl she will more than likely enjoy baking. For less of a mess buy Pilsbury ready baked cookies all you do is take them out of the pack and put them on the pan. Buy some M&Ms and chocolate morsels so the two of you can put your own spin on the cookies. AVOID glitter, glue, and scissors. Especially together these three things can make some horrible messes.

from an experienced childminder........start by asking her what she likes to do, find out what her hobbies are, etc.every 9 yr old girl that i know loves-glitter, sparkles, art and crafts(by the bucketful), some cool websites-try bratz where they can dress em up, drawing, etc.try the internet-crayola website is good.have a word with her mum to see if theres any particular fave things she enjoys

My son is 3. We use puzzles alot. they are quiet and occupy him for awhile. We additionally deliver autos for him, with my daughter it became toddler dolls and variations of garments for them. She'd bypass 0.5 an hour purely changing the doll's outfits persistently lower back. additionally deliver snacks. A baggie of goldfish or raisins, issues of that nature. If their mouth is done they are in a position to't communicate or scream. desire this helps good success and God Bless

If the child is outgoing bang on some tunes get a couple of hairbrushes and do a girly night of singing and dancing. good funny vid and a bowl of popcorn.
If all else fails ask her if she has any ideas, It really depend on the childs character.

arts and crafts work for my daughter, making cards something small and cheap, try playing top trumps that works too. If all else fails make up stories together where you do one sentence each and take it in turns... good luck

Perhaps hire out some DVD's she likes? Putting her hair in plaits? Teach her a boardgame like reversi? Let her play the sims?
