Yesterday ds was given some Yu-gi-oh cards and was nearly crying as one of the characters had bandages on like a mummy. He is terrified of Egyptian things, yet facinated at the same time and this is usually what gives him nightmares and disturbs his sleep most nights. Although Scooby Doo is to blame for this as he thinks mummies all walk around going arrgghhh, with their arms raised in front of them.
Today we went to a Butterfly park - and he was scared of them too. Spiders and wasps are also very scarey to him and there were plenty of those there (although i'm not too keen either).
I was thinking about taking him to the Science Museum tomorrow, but nearly every one of the exhibits would scare him and give him nightmares.
Does anyone have a recommendation of somewhere they have been that wouldn't be frightening please? It would also help if the place wasn't too busy as he can lose it in crowded places sometimes.
Thank you. x
