What to do today with near 5 year old?

I have cabin fever, I have built lego for 4 days solid...(swede so opened presents on 24th). Any tips on something to do today would be very gratefully received!

Sorry, I only just saw this! On boxing day, we made up a scavenger list, then tried to find everything on the walk to the park and back: a stick, a stone, a feather, brown leaves, a crow, a robin, a squirrel, some flowers, a xmas tree... I think we had a few more. I can't remember. We had fun ticking them off the list.

Today hubbie has taken little Saff swimming at wavelengths. The slides are closed, but the bubble fountains are always fun.

We're thinking of going to Southbank/ Tate Modern later in the week.

Hope you found something fun to do. xx

Do some baking- most little'uns enjoy making a cake and eating it afterwards.

Dressing up, use makeup to do some basic face painting. Kids love putting makeup on adults, especially male adults!

If you're still looking for ideas, what about a trip to the Discover Story Centre in Stratford? http://www.discover.org.uk/opening-hours-prices/

We went for a walk with scooters through Dulwich park and had lunch at Rocca.

We went to see the snail and the whale today at the Albany in deptford; was great. Might only be on for another couple of days though.

Today we are bowling in Surrey quays with bumpers. Yesterday we went to the soft play at the pavilion in Bromley and then shopping afterwards and on to the Cars the Movie ride outside Primark afterwards.

You could go on Netmums or type in things to do in London on internet. Always lots of suggestions.

Happy New Year

We went to the 'Wonderlab' at the Science Museum yesterday. I thought we'd just drop in for an hour, but four hours later I had to drag little Saff away because they were closing the museum. It is really fab! Everyhting is hands-on, and there are lots of different sections. There are also science shows on rockets and engineering etc. Heaps of fun for kids and grown-ups. :)
