There was only a little snag - my son wouldn't get inside. I tried everything, enticing "Don't you want to see Nemo?", begging "Please please", bribing "I buy you a ton of sweets", negociating "Look at the first 4 fishes and tell me if you like or not", lying "No, it is not dark in there, really". Nothing worked, he doesn't like dark places and that's it. We sat on the outside for about 30 minutes and he was going hysterical just at the idea (no, I wasn't dragging him or anything, just talking) and at the end we just had to give up. Luckily, there was also a fun fair there, but guess what, he wouldn't go in any rides either. But at least my daughter went in one and they got a teddy each in one of the stalls so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
Adding this to the typical Irish weather - and this year hasn't been too bad - maybe it is better to stay at home. I found two fun projects this evening:
Balancing Butterflies, found in Childhood Magic, via Davinie Fiero's blog.
Marshmallow faces, in Color me Katie:
I am sure I saw some markers for colouring food somewhere - perhaps in Tesco's?!!!

Ah, I have a friend who took his son to some film and just couldn't get him to go in - in the end he reckoned, like you, to give up and do something else.
I know for sure they do food-safe markers in Kitchen Complements on Chatham Street.
Ah no, after travelling all that way! Thanks for the kids ideas, will definately be trying that marshmallow painting :-)
