Rainy lockdown weekend with 5 year old

Does anyone have any inspiration? I've used up all mine. It's raining, and it's going to rain all weekend. Outdoors is also muddy and grey.
We've already carried out experiments and made a dinosaur movie. I'm seriously considering going to the supermarket just to be out of the house. We were supposed to be meeting friends for a walk (yes, I know it's not allowed) but it's rained off.
I. AM. SO. BORED.
My DS does not like puddle jumping, snuggling, watching movies, hot chocolate or being grateful that we haven't died of Covid.
Now we have to do wrestling and I have to be Randy Orton.

Don't do it! You will pay later!!

I would just go with the wrestling theme tbh. I kind of miss it now

But my role is rubbish, I just have to keep doing sneaky things, then getting thrown out of the ring (which is a rug), then shaking my fist in rage.

Right, we're going out - thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Just to add... please don't feel mum guilt for saying "just go play"

My DS is 6, when I've had enough/run out of ideas, sometimes I just tell him to go and play.

He complains he is bored sometimes. I say good, be bored.

Its good for them to be bored. Have to entertain thierselves. They always go off and find something to do.

Have a diwali party! There are some diwali bits on cbeebies / cbbc. Decorate paper plates with rangoli patterns. Dance to Bollywood music. Eat curry.

I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old and am on my own with them all weekend. We've had A LOT of screen time but have managed to make popcorn today
