Answer
I have kids with late November and December birthdays, so I feel your pain! Try these ideas.... bowling, movies, arcade, batting cages or chuck e cheese. Bake your own cake, hand out capri sun for drinks and if you hand out gift bags, fill it with a small toy, candy (will go on sale after Halloween) or popcorn. You can also throw a gross happy "barfday" party at home. You can get disgusting recipes online, make a green punch and use gummy worms in the cake. Make boogers on a stick by heating up cheeze whiz, adding green food color and dipping pretzel sticks in it...let it cool in the fridge and right before the party set it on the table. You can have popcorn mixed with gummy worms, chocolate pudding (use your imagination), etc.....the kids love it and the parent marvel at how disgustingly creative you are. For prizes you can hand out fake vomit, squishy eyeballs or any age appropriate gag gift! Good luck!!

Does anyone have an 8-yr-old? I need ideas!?

I provide home day care for babies and preschoolers. I agreed at the last minute to watch two children tommorow that are 5 and 8. I don't have much for the 8-yr-old to do. The only thing that I can think of is the Playstation! I don't even have movies that are appropriate for his age! My son is one! I need some ideas...The kids will be here for ten and a half hours!
Answer
The eight year old can color and build puzzles. He can play with cars. As far as movies, just turn the TV to PBS kids if it's before about 10 or 11 AM. Noggin has some stuff on in the daytime that he might like, if you get that channel. And there's always cartoon network.
Have him help you make a cake or a batch of cookies while the younger ones take a nap. See if he has any homework that his mother would like to see get done, and provide him with an area to work on it. Give him some old magazines, construction paper, posterboard, paints and found objects to make a collage with. Have him make a Christmas card for his mother. Give him an old shoebox and some cardboard and paints and googly eyes, and let him build a pet rock and a house for it.
You can also encourage his mother to have him bring a few toys, books and/or puzzles of his own to keep him amused.
