Taking my daughter for a treat... ideas?

[supergolden88]

Both me and my husband have work on this half term which means we are not doing anything special with my daughter apart from endless playdates with her friends (which she loves of course).

We do have thursday morning free - any ideas where to take her as a treat? We need to be back home by 2pm so whatever it is has to be reasonably close. She is nearly 6.

Depends what she likes - although it's my idea of hell, my daughter would opt for soft play/swimming given the choice, particularly as we don't take her very often. Crystal Palace park fun if weather is OK.

Swimming she would love... soft play I think she has outgrown unless she goes with her friends.

Was thinking more like a museum or similar. I like the idea of the sticker room at the Tate but not sure it would keep her attention for very long.

Lots of stuff on at the Southbank this week - including freebie 'Become a Superhero' at 11am on Thursday:

"Become a superhero in this workshop with artist Laura X Carle and storyteller Rachel Rose Reid, who will help you decide what your superhero powers are.

Choose and decorate your superhero cape and eye mask. Then pick a name and be photographed in your final superhero pose."

Follow with a nice lunch in one of the many eateries.

I took my 6 year old daughter on a day out to the V and A recently. They have this fab back pack system which you borrow and they have activities to do in different areas. We then went and ogled the jewels (this was satisfying for both of us) and had then bought a postcard making set in the shop for sending postcards about said day out to Grandparents. Perfect day on a number of levels for her, she still talks about it, and I loved it too!

What about the place where you paint a mug etc they fire it and you collect later? Isit all fired up?
