Ideas for 2 weeks off with 2 & 4 year old

I have 2 weeks free between nursery finishing and my eldest starting school and would like to make it special. Does anyone have any nice ideas? We’re in Bristol but would also be grateful for inspiration for things to do at home because my 2 year old still has a lunchtime nap. We go to the local park a lot so ideally something other than that. Thanks so much!

Making your own playdough. DD 3 adored doing this.
Painting, role play, gardening, cooking generally.

Walk in the woods and paddle in a stream. National trust places.
Picking blackberries.

Noah's Ark Zoo Farm, court farm country park and puxton park are all good days out. Across the bridge techniquest is great for those ages.

For local days then a little pump track/BMX track is a good option in the morning when it's quiet if they like their bikes. Swimming, taking paper and crayons to the woods and doing rubbings, a drain pipe in the garden (or house) and whizzing cars down it, a lido if you have one or spreading a blankets over two chairs to make a den can be fun.
