Bored kids - looking for some family activities (Istanbul)

Hi everybody,

My 2 daughters Protected content almost 4 years old) start to feel bored this summer... Especially my older one. As she doesn't speak Turkish it's hard for her to play with the kids in our neighbourhood and most of her english-speaking friends from school left Istanbul for summer vacation. Since we will stay at home for the rest of the summer (European side, Beylikdüzü) and I'm not a born entertainer, I'm running out of ideas what to do with them all day long ;-).

So if you can recommend some family activities in or around Istanbul I woulld be really happy :-).

Also if you got the same problem, we are open to meet other families, preferably with German or English speaking kids around the same age ;-).

Cheers
