7. Watching Sunrise

Cross your fingers, hoping that the kids have had a wink of sleep beforehand. If they want to stretch their hours and you hear them giggling early morning, treat them to a beautiful sunrise.

8. Cupcake Frosting

No one can ever outgrow chocolate sauce, M&Ms, sprinkles, and frosting to decorate a cupcake. Have varieties of cupcake toppings and baked cupcakes ready for the girls to grow wild and unleash their creative side. This activity can lead to a sugar rush later. You can also substitute cupcakes with ice cream toppings.

9. Indoor Camping

Indoor camping can be an excellent sleepover game if you want to recreate the summer camp vibe. This activity will relieve any anxieties regarding mosquitoes and rough weather conditions.

If the kids are old enough, they can work their way through this by themselves. This game can be paired with some snacks and their favorite movies.

10. Making Fancy Popcorns
