Help!!

I've two contagious but chirpy girls who are on their fourth day of me finding stuff to do all day. We're expecting more rain and so I'm looking for ideas to entertain them over the next couple of days indoors. I've done the autumn pictures, telescopes, general painting, pretending we're on an aeroplane and teddy bears' picnic... has anyone else got any ideas please (for their sanity and mine smile ).

Thanks very much

off to cook tea...

Baking cakes
spaghetti play or gloop (cornflour and water)
make a treasure box
bowl of warm soapy water to wash tea set/toys/give dollys a bath

Thanks for the ideas teamcullen. Haven't done the dolly bathing before and it sounds containable enough for my youngest - she likes a good mess and to be fair I don't mind it either, (but tend to be happier if the time it takes to make the mess is in vague proportion to the time it takes to clear up grin ). Will add cornflour to the shopping list asap.
