You're 11 years old and you were caught shoplifting. You will not go to jail. You will be sent to see a juvenile probation officer. You need to return the other things you took because its the right thing to do, not because you may get caught. It doesn't increase the offense. You should have an adult accompany you to the police station and tell them you took other things and want to return them. I would not advise you taking them back to the store. It will look better for you if you take them to the police. If the police are not involved, take them to the store but DO NOT do so without an adult.

If you feel guilty, you're never going to settle this until you return the items. If you go alone, you risk the person you spoke with not being there, and having the whole purpose of the trip being misunderstood. Take your parents with you. That means you have to tell them.

Admit to your parents what you did, and ask them if they would take you back to the store manager, talk with him/her and admit to them that you know you were wrong and you're returning the items... but TAKE YOUR PARENTS WITH YOU! That is vital. As this is a first offense, they ought to let you go with a warning...and hopefully you truely learned your lesson.
Don't steal.

first of STOP STEALING STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i dontthink you will have any further actions taken on you, they will be watching you if you ever go back to that store, it usually takes about a year before they are no longer looking for you
in any case, stop with that stealling thing

If they catch you, then you're caught. Just because you have learned your lesson doesn't mean they will not punish you for what you already did.
