My lot spend hours making dens and building with big blocks.

I also have a small table outside and they do lots of craft and playdough

Big cardboard boxes to paint and decorate. If they've got writing on the outside, unstick all the joins, fold them inside out & stick them back together with masking tape.

Junk modelling - masking tape is better than glue

How about setting aside a small area of your garden for them to plant some seeds and look after them? Maybe grow potatoes or other veg that they could tend to and then later take home and eat. would be educational as well as entertaining.
