Quiet / calm winter activities for a 4 year old?

[bumpy]

Hi ya, other than the obvious trips to park, soft play, swimming, library, cafe treat trip, staying at home can anyone recommend local drop in activities for 4 year olds? Looking for things on the calmer / quiet side as he'll have been at pre school all day so don't want to overload him but also trying not to fall in to a TV afternoon type routine?! Happy for that to happen some days but would quite like to vary things up too! Have heard / seen on here good things about Captured On The Rye so will give that a go but wondered if anyone had other suggestions too. Thanks in advance.

One o clock club at Peckham Rye (think is now called Peckham Play rooms) is good for some indoor activities. Or trips to the library? Trip over to the Dish & the Spoon - toys there plus nice food. I must admit when my 4 yr old was going ot school nursery half days we didn't do much wiht the rest of the day - occasionally a quick visit to one of the smaller playgrounds - but found it a fine line between a bit of extra using up of energy and tipping over into overtired/wound up. Oh - baking? There are those Crafty Cooks classes. Depending on if you have other kids/what ages they are, trip to the cinema could be good too.

We sometimes go to the library post school, daughter too tired for much else.
