maybe you'd llike to go to an art class with her..
go to a mall, go to build a bear, if you have one next to you..

also depends on if you have any money to spare..

check out buildabear.com to see if they have one next to you.. she might enjoy that very much..

would she enjoy a museum? some rides maybe, if it's open.

I do not have money... and the timing is limited..

the boys are going with a mentor to shul...and to hang out and to "boy" things..

So probably from like 9 - 12

She 8

I'd start with stuff she likes. There's definitely stuff you can do cheaply, the important thing is the one on one time. I'm trying to think of stuff I've done with DD but it's probably not so relevant as she's 4 but I've taken her to the park, gone out to pizza with her, gone on the subway with her. It helps she has very simple tastes. Her big entertainment is the "choo choo train". I still think start out with her interests and see if you can work them into something cheaply.

if theres a Build a Bear near you you can make her a bear starting for $10 and if she wants/needs to dress it you can get a tee shirt for $5

just worn her before not to get the expensive bears

You can do her hair & nails - little girls love that - and the pampering could be fun for both of you.

I like faigie and greenfire's suggestions. Can I come over too? LOL

(Seriously, I hope you and your DD have a great time and it's great your sons are getting that mentoring time)

I'm joking although it does sound fun.

Enjoy your one on one time. It's so delicious especially when it's rare! I love those one on one times with my DD.

On Sunday, R”Ch Adar I stayed home with my kids and we made a huge ‘mishenichnas’ sign for the house, we had a blast and it’s so hilarious, I don’t want to take it down anytime soon! I’m sure if you tell your daughter that ‘tomorrow is your day’ she’ll be thrilled and hype dup enough to come up with some ideas. My daughter roves going fo a haircut even if it’s just one inch, she loves being pampered.

You could ask her what SHE wants to do . . . . does she want to rent a movie, make something special for lunch for the two of you? Go to the park?
