How to Entertain a Sadie

Dismantle a dead DVD player into its component parts while she looks on and gets to handle and explore each of the pieces, explaining to her what different things are, and showing her stuff like how the gears mesh against a toothed bar to move the laser reader.  This is enough to keep her entranced for an extended time.  Not to mention being kind of interesting to me too.  Apple, tree, etc.

Then she moved on to Play-Doh, which also works, with the added benefit of being autopilot-like.
