What to do with 5yo DD on Friday?

[hollyhobbie]

DD finishes school on Wednesday, and on Friday she'll be at home while her brother will still be with the childminder.

I'd like to have a nice special morning with her (we rarely get to spend any time just the 2 of us) and I thought of going to the cinema with her, but the only thing that's suitable is Nanny McPhee, which I'm not sure she'll like (it would be her first time at the cinema).

Does anyone have any other ideas as to what we could do?

wen my dd's wer that age we had loads of fun makin air ballons for their small toys. we paper mashied blown up ballons waited 4 them 2 dry burst the balloon an then added string and a small box and painted them. as it took a while 2 do it was a project we worked on wen we got r special time an they loved it think i still have them in the attic after almost 15yrs

Blimey I think you need to let the girls out after all that time, surely they've missed a lot of their childhood already. Do you worry about the police coming round?

Do you have any local museums or art galleries that she might like? Or maybe you could go for a hot chocolate in a cafe?

thanks for the suggestions! I guess we'll play it by ear. Maybe a pyjamas morning watching a DVD might be good (complete with hot choc!) - she likes the book charlie and the chocolate factory, so might like the film..? (might just go and watch the trailer to see if it would be ok for her.)
