My niece and soon, my nephew

I was reading an article in Coin World about how we need to constantly be thinking of ways to involve young people in the hobby, because they're the future of the hobby.

My niece is 4 and my nephew will be coming along in a few weeks or so. I figured since I just started a type set for myself, so why not start one for my niece and one day my nephew. Right now, my niece knows what money is, but not really what it's for. She just takes it and puts it in her piggy bank. Luckily slabbed coins won't fit..... In the new few years, I will show her the set that I have built for her and show her that our coinage has a purpose beyond everyday commerce. Hopefully, she will show some interest and this will be something she and her uncle can do together.

What are some ways that ya'll work to involve young people in our hobby?
