What to do when tired and it's raining

My 2 year old has barely slept last night due to having a cough, meaning I've barely slept. I usually resort to going for a walk but it's pouring it down so can't do that. Any suggestions on some activities to do when absolutely exhausted but also something that would keep him entertained for a while?
