Can anyone recommend activities for kids of different ages to enjoy together. Mine and almost 2 years old and 6 years old with a 4.5 year age gap between them.

Mine used to play with the marble run together. Dd1 was good at keeping an eye on dd2 with the marbles.
Pop-up pirate game was good once dd2 could push the swords into the barrel.
Dd1 used to blow bubbles for dd2 to pop!
They could fly a kite together without my help. Dd1 would give the handle to dd2 and tell her when to run, whilst Dd1 launched the kite into the air.
