I used to always use Minecrat for this. Sure, they can't do everything immediately, but I put the game on peaceful and let them explore at their own pace.
I say "used to" because Luanti (formerly MineTest, an open source Minecraft Clone*) is finished and free.

If we could even comprehend the scale of his unpaid taxes, or their impact on our parks, we might discuss this at length...
Movie theaters are really expensive, so I'm not paying attention to what Hollywood is making right now.
- Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
Yes.
- Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?
I'm in the same boat. I'll be trying out these answers.
The surprisingly deep copy of Balatro in "Dave the Diver" is pretty good.
Oh, yes. I'm most cases, really old books.
