Housebound with chickenpox. What to do?

Dd (2 years) has got chicken pox. My heart is breaking looking at her little face but she seems pretty fine in herself. Calpol is keeping temp down, not much scratching, not much of an appetite but still lively.

Now my question is, what do I do with her? She's a very active kid, nursery or long walks in the park most days, gets very wound up and frustrated if kept in. The thought of a week stuck in the house is filling me with dread. Any ideas on what I can do to keep her occupied and burn some energy?
Our house is tiny with only a yard, plus weather is a bit rubbish. We'll do music and dancing most days anyway but she has so much energy, I'm just after some ideas to keep her busy for the week.
Tia!

Some of these might be of help:
50 easy-to-do-at-home activities for 3 year olds
[a few are a bit plain obvious (!), and a few may need adjustments for her age].

Good luck! Hope she recovers speedily.

Painting, play doh, baking cookies/cupcakes, favourite movie, reading, jigsaw puzzles.

You can go for a walk in the fresh air - just don't go on play equipment or into buildings where other people may be.

Walking/hopping/skipping/running down the street is not forbidden.
