[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 451569, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome to the board! There is paint and sticky paper available to give windows a frosted look. They come in many attractive patterns so you wont need curtains or shades. Giving her stuff to pick at is good. Some fun things are wikki sticks (bendable, cheap, you can vacuum up the "crumbs"), stickers on a board she can peel off, how about building toys that are more complex like Connects (spelling). It sounds like she gets board easy, maybe having some cheap fun dollar stuff that is novel available for use at kitchen table would help. I use those fabric shelves you hand over the closet rod in my daughters room as it just helps keep things visable and easy to put her clothes away-one thing per "shelf" and we only have 2 of them. Paint is great and maybe she would enjoy painting or stencilling her own thing on a wall-she may enjoy this and maybe take pride in her creation. A fitted sheet and comforter is all that's needed on the bed. If she does this at sleep time, how about relaxing music she can hear. Though she is 11, reading aloud is something all kids love. I teach kids her age and they are tranced by it.
