What are some ways to keep two girls ages 8 and 10 occupied in an antique mall.?
Have you guys ever taken children in? We can't really help it, we want to go... but we just found out that my boyfriend's family is coming to visit during our break. The two girls are aged 8 and 10 and do pretty well when given a task or told to be careful with things. I'm just afraid they'll get bored...what are some good ways to keep them interested so that they don't ruin the adult's time?
lol umm, yeah I love to go antiquing and have had to bring them before, like if we've stopped at one while on vacation or something, then you don't really have a choice cause y'all are together. Give them a certain thing to look for, not necessarily something that you are going to buy, but maybe just a certain toy, or how many of ____ can you find while we are here, kinda like I spy or a little treasure hunt of their own since you are on a treasure hunt right? Have fun, that's the most important thing! Teach them that it can be fun and to enjoy it as much as you do. Now my daughter actually likes to go along, and she is good and keeps herself occupied, she's 10 also.
