So far I've planned, some reading, a music lesson on the keyboard, dressing up as super heroes (good reason to wear my storm trooper helmet), painting/drawing, but what else could me and little miss do not being able to leave the house, already tidied her bedroom. |

I think you've got a great programme developing there.
I'd deffo avoid McD and KFC, but making some finger foods yourselves could be fun.
I'd add, simple board games, card games, dominos etc. (get one of those cheap compendium sets - 30 games for £5).
Simple Jig saws - alphabet ones are good.
Flash card games.
Noughts and crosses.
A nature walk and splashing in puddles - unless you absolutely have to stay indoors |

Do a treasure hunt around the house with easy to read clues.
Do the game where you fold a piece of paper into four sections, and then you draw a monsters head and fold it over so she doesn't see, and then she draws the torso and arms, and floss it over so you don't see, and you do the legs and she does the feet.
Definitely cooking.
Play I Spy
Put on some music she loves and dance like crazy!
And mostly Google "rainy day activity for 5 year old". |

"Ask her what she wants to do ?
I'm sure her imagination could take you anywhere and be anyone"
I've already asked, which is what I listed in my original post, she did say she wanted to go to Speke Hall (google it if you're curious), prefer a hot sunny day for that place though, we spent 4 hours at a local park yesterday, weather was glorious though, at the other end of the spectrum today  |

Enjoy it 
Choices are endless
Cooking - colouring - playing teachers etc
If you were to head out - a bus trip upstairs on the bus - lunch out somewhere let her choose - keep interaction just between u 2 though more fun and better memories |

"Is it alien to suggest a bit of reading and writing?
He said reading "
Thanks was gunna say that myself, she was given homework from school which had a lot of writing to do, that's all done but has a book to read so will be doing that at some point today, as for having my nails painted, some one got her face paints for Christmas, so I let her loose on me, I looked like a tiger that had been hit by a truck   |

Make salt dough and mould anything you like out of it,
Dolls tea party with all the crockery out,
indoor picnic under an inside den,
Paint prints with vegetable shapes and hands or blowing through straws.

"Make your own Pizza .. the dough is pretty easy and its fun play. Why isnt she at school ?
"
Easter holidays (don't ask) for whatever reason Liverpool seems to have the school holidays different than most other places |
