To ask for tips to get through an isolation? Reception age child

[UpSlyDown]

Got the dreaded text so off for 10 days with DD (4.5) stuck inside. DH and I both will be wfh, I am part time. Any times or advice how to cope? Struggling already after a weekend in the house. Happy to order in some activities/craft/activity books if anyone has any suggestions? Nothing big for the garden we only have a small yard :(
