 what are some good suggestions on how to entertain 7-9 year olds at a toddlers party? 
Having a party soon and going to have some older kids.
  I dont have any entertainment coming. Just a big family party. There are some older kids coming and being that my DD only has 3 year old's toys, what are some suggestions on how to entertain the older kids? I feel bad they will be bored and it will be too dark out to go outside.
  Any games/suggestions? thanks

I'm assuming you want them sitting down?
  Jenga? Apples to Apples Junior? Pictionary Junior?
  Any kind of craft, drawing thing.
  Twister if they can get up.

when is the party?  I have the same issue with my DD's party coming up and I just bought some gingerbread decorating stuff for the older kids to do.

Just put them all in the same room, and they can text each other for a few hours....       
  Do you, or a family/friend have a Wii, PS3 or Xbox?

  This is a good idea. But the thing is there is no where specifically to do crafts once everyone is in my home, and I dont want little peices winding up all around. As well as glue, etc. I will take a look in Michaels but I have a bad feeling there won't be anything that will work.
  Thanks all.

  Didnt think of that. Not a bad idea!!! This is the kind of stuff they like. however, I think they may come with their own handheld games so that's good I guess if they do.
