...what do your kids do with their time? Mine love to draw! Right now, my son is teaching "art class": he makes a few drawings, and then teaches people how to draw them. Right now, he's teaching me how to draw candy canes and peppermint candies (it's Candy Art Class tonight, apparently).
They also like to build with MagnaTiles and wooden blocks...

Recently they've been playing "airplane" a lot when they are together. They dump out their puzzles (which come in suitcase-like boxes), fill up the suitcases with things, and sit with their stuffed animals on the sofa.
Alone, the three year old likes to play with bristle blocks or put stuffed animals to bed, and the 17 month old likes to push her doll in a stroller or "cook" with play food.
And glue. The both really, really, REALLY like glue and a piece of paper. No other real gluing materials required; but they've made too many messes recently, so the glue is now being stored VERY high in a cupboard and gluing activities are off the table unless I can sit right there and actively supervise!

@Bao: hahaha general destruction is a big favorite when my two are together with cabin fever....empty tissue boxes, taking everything out of a kitchen cabinet and lining it up on the other side of a room, hiding shoes....

Besides bugging me? They really suck at independent play.
Right now if we direct her to play alone she will go draw and more recently try a puzzle. Or she will go play dress up in her room.
The baby (age 1) will sit and read books. Or look for trouble.

Lo1 likes to play with her character toys - peppa, dora etc and make up scenarios with her doll house.
She also likes to make towers with her blocks.

LO is a really great independent player. She can play with her magic clip dolls and other little dolls for an hour easily doing voices for each doll and making up all these elaborate story lines. That said, left to her own devices she would watch movies and shows all day long. All the movies. All the shows. All the YouTube.

Pulling all of her books, clothes and toys out of their respective tubs and throwing them on the floor (daycare clothes are kept in a basket by her dresser). Once that's done, flip through books.

If she got to choose, it would be watching a show on her tablet. If screen time was not an option, she would play house/babies or paint.
