How to entertain a poorly child on holiday?

[friedeggsandcustard]

DD (5) has gone down with a virus on holiday. She just a bit unwell, a bit of diarrhoea and a temperature. We are staying in a small apartment and she’s bored, but obviously we need to steer clear of the beach and the pool.

Any bright ideas on how to entertain her (and 3 year old sibling)?

could you go on a short walk around and have a mini eye spy contest? so, get a piece of paper and make a list of things she should spot during the walk (eg: a bird, a napkin, a dog etc) and then get her to cross off each thing as she sees it.

Buy cheap water based paint and brushes. Strip kids naked and place in an empty bath. Let's them paint the bath/ selves/ each other for as long as they find it entertaining then shower away the paint. Then a long bubble bath w toys in the bath.

Actually maybe they shouldn't share a bath if one is currently ill!
