Try some one on one things: simple old fashioned board and card games ( battleship, give-away checkers, battling cards, old maid, simple dominoes, etc.) whip up a batch of cookies with lots of their help, watch the RC cars race, watch e-boats race, create golf cart scavenger hunts (around the neighborhood; what is red at 124 Why St (fire hydrant), what's on the drive way at 147 X St? (a painted palm tree) or maybe around Lake Sumter Landing (how many sea creatures on the bath houses?, what is name of big fish? how many restaurants?, what does the mermaid sell?).
Also check local Libraries (incl. Leesburg)for special kids programs: magic, puppets, reading, science bag. Offered usually for free and geared to the under 8 kids.
