    You might check out First Lego League. They have activities specifically for ages 4-6. My son was older than that when we started, but I’ve seen some of what the kids did. Many groups are run through schools, but there are also community groups as well. My son’s group is a 4H robotics team.

    Also Lego Education has a listing of lesson plans that other people have created and you can search by age. You can see what they are using and get ideas to do with your kids.

    My son has rediscovered our trampoline and spends lots of time out there just bouncing by himself.

    With covid, it has opened the doors for me to take online karate classes with some instructors I had been under in the past and resume my own training.

    There are many great programs like First Lego League out there. Most public schools didn’t start teams till middle school, but there are elementary programs as well. I wish more schools would be willing to do these sorts of things. We do FLL through a 4H group.
