What do your kids like to do? Any chance you could integrate a computer with it? My daughter loves to cook and dance and I haven’t found a way to integrate that with computers but she’s happy so I haven’t pressed it.

RoboCup Junior OnStage is a good example of integrating dance with computers. You can program sensors to detect triggers from humans and respond by moving props into place. There's a lot of freedom to choose what type of sensors, computers, and actuators to use. Search for videos of RoboCup OnStage to see some examples.
You could hook it up to some midi instruments
I tried that, the delay was too high to the synth. Not sure how to fix it.
