Dc1 (19 months) has chickenpox and has been kept indoors since thurs, so today is the 5th day. The spots have started to dry up but are still itchy and red looking. I've been told to keep her in until at least Wed- Fri.
Dc1 is going out her mind indoors, we have resorted to ALOT of cbeebies , far far more tan usual (on a typical day we allow about 30 mins of cbeebies) since CP is hours a day.
We do sticking, colouring, laying tea/with toys, but she's so bored inside. Yesterday we had a picnic in the garden, to get some fresh air, but the garden is tiny, more like a big balcony and all gravel so she can't really stretch her legs.
Yesterday she was so distraught at the heat/being cooped up/itching that she kep dragging her pram out, sitting in it and sobbing ready mummy. I resorted to walking he up and down the deserted road, just to the end of the street and back for 5 mins. She cried when we bought her back in.
Any ideas on what to do to keep her occupied for the next few days?
Thank you
