To be getting completely flustered over half term?!

I have 3 DCs who are 4yo, 3yo and 5 months old. DH is working away for a month. Family live a fair trek away. Weather is forecast to be pretty rubbish next week.
Hit me with some of your plans for half term?!
I’m coming up pretty blank for things that will keep the older two entertained but also allow the baby to nap (she sleeps in a sling so can nap on the move).
I have a plan for Monday, Tuesday and possibly Wednesday, but I’m feeling a bit flustered about it all!

6yo and 2 month old. Obviously the baby is no different but 6yo is always on the go.

We've got a birthday party today, grandparents house tomorrow, trip into nearest city on Monday, swimming Tuesday, playdate Wednesday, haven't figured out Thursday and he's got the dentist on Friday.

When we're in the house I've been encouraging him to play cinema. So movie on, lights off and a snack. That's good for nap time.

I'm dreading half term; I have a very active 4 year old DD and 11 month old DS who has hand foot and mouth. Means we can't really go anywhere with other children. So soft play is out and all planned play dates are off 😥
The forecast is for rain all week or we would be planning on lots of time in the woods or on the beach.
I'm completely stuck for ideas for what to do.

@leghairdontcare playing cinema sounds great - my 4yo and 3yo will happily do this if they are on their own....but as soon as they are together for more than 5 mins, baby fight club ensues Blush
