Any help with French learning resources please?

DS2 is 13 & autistic. His current obsession is speaking French. I speak it to a good level, which he is aware of & he is asking me to say everything in French! This is good but rather wearing. I am keen to feed this obsession as it is a useful & healthy one!

Therefore I would like to supply him with some resources to learn French on his own (he already does it at school). So far, I have given him the children's books we have in French, which he has devoured. I have set him up a Netflix profile in French. And we have a puzzle book he is working through. I have also ordered some books from the library but they won't come for a while. He also does BBC Bitesize & Duolingo.

I was wondering about things like a magazine, a website similar to Twinkl that I could print things from etc? Or any other suggestions! It would need to be for younger children as his mental age is around 9-10. He is very good at remembering vocab but not so much grammar.

'Easy french' videos on YouTube. They also have a website with loads of resources. They do podcasts with transcripts. Topics are geared towards young adults so not just boring school topics. Native french speakers. They got me from zero french to C1.

Yes I'd go with Easy French too.
