The Zoo, obviously (Artis).
A stroll in the park when the weather is nice.
A trip to the beach at Zandvoort. (children don't need warm weather to enjoy
a beach)
Pancakes for dinner in one of the many pancake restaurants.
Enjoy your trip.

Re: children and amsterdam
Madurodam is fascinating- for both children and adults. I think even a
little one will find it captivating. And when we were there the second
time, there was also a marvelous puppet show.
Also Einhoven is a folk park that a little one might like. It's only
30-40 miles from Amsterdam. (may be spelled entirely wrong. If so,
someone please correct me.)
Enjoy your trip!

You probably mean De Efteling in Kaatsheuvel. One of the best amusement
parks in the world. (Eindhoven is a rather boring city) De Efteling is
approximately 60 miles from Amsterdam.

Re: children and amsterdam
Actually no, what I'm referring to- or trying to- is like an historic
village of old houses. I believe there are people doing various
activities like they did in the past- things like spinning, horseshoing,
etc (though maybe not those specific things). I have photos of me
learning to walk on stilts and to roll a hoop with a stick. I believe
they alos had pens with a few farm animals. To get from the parking lot
to the village, you had to take a small ferry/raft thing that only held
maybe 20 standing people for a very short distance.
Not Einhoven? Any ideas where this is? My description may be too vague
as it was 15 years ago and I don;t remember the details.

It's in Alphen aan de Rijn (Alphen on the Rhine), 30-40 miles from
Amsterdam... This probably is the park you have been to.

I guess that this is what you mean:

It's in Alphen aan de Rijn.
Indeed very nice for children (and adults!)

Re: children and amsterdam
The folk village you seek is at Enkhuizen - it is called
'Zuiderzee''.
http://www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl/language/engels/index.htm
It is a reasonable train ride from Amsterdam. You exit the train
station,
walk beyond it to the Tourist Office to buy tickets. You then walk
behind the Tourist Office to the ferry dock, board and ride to the
recreated village. There are people performing every day chores and
skills, and rows of village buildings brought from all areas of
Holland. There's a windmill and a small farm. I think it was around
12 Euro pp.
I've also been to the Openluchtmuseum at Arnhem, but liked Zuiderzee
better.
By the way, there is an indoor museum at Zuiderzee as well, but we
didn't have time to do both. And I believe you could walk to/from the
town of Enkhuizen, but I didn't try that either.
