At my previous church we had a TV with a feed from the sanctuary in the nursery and after consistently going in the nursery and seeing workers watching the TV instead of the babies, I pulled the plug on the TV...

Things that are physical but challenging are always good (for example, have them pick up the words of a memory verse with chopsticks and put them in order.) These work for their energy while keeping their bodies in control.
