Unexpected day off

So our school has closed today due to a burst pipe which means I’ve had to take the day off work with dd5. Dh has the car for work so I can’t go very far. Thinking about getting some jobs done around the house, going to the park and listing some stuff on Vinted. What would you do with an unplanned, midweek day off?

With my 5 year old?

I would do some maths via baking
Paint a picture for daddy
Go to the park and pick up some “insert thing you need here” at shop in cash and get her to pay and check the change

And perhaps get her to “help” by sweeping the kitchen floor whilst doing some jobs.

Just me, I would clean the fridge, have a bath and read.
