child employment
Explanation:
"Child employment" is frequently used, and there is "underage employment" if you want to stress the negative side.

If it's not employment-related, then "children's activities" would be a broad enough term (short-term, long-term, sports, arts...).

Example:

"Keep the kids busy
[..]
Children's activities include an indoor and outdoor play area, bouncy castle, paddling pool and indoor pottery workshop. "

And one more, from the USA:

"From museums to pizza parties, there are dozens of activities geared towards kiddos in the Houston area."
