Oh, do not keep her busy. Let her wallow in the discomfort of having nothing to do, but do not give her the modern things which are an easy escape from that discomfort (TV, Computers, etc). You will see her natural interests reveal themselves and when they do, give them all the interest like they weer your own as well.

Do your own thing and she will see how it looks to be engaged in something you like.

All the other props and gimmicks will only implant your interests on her, which might be the the same and that is ok, but most likely they will not be.

However, she should be with friends around her age as well. Parents are important, but negotiating friendships is invaluable.
