From my own experience (i have 5 year old) what works for us:

- ikea whiteboard - good if you have intention to work in pairs. starting from '-', '+' gradually increasing numbers and complexity. Mine likes drawing and erasing

- games - tic tac toe (different strategies), checkers just starting, playing cards (counting numbers, bigger lesser numbers), Battleship paper game

- diy kits - like on ali express 'diy kids science kits'. They're pretty low quality but gives general idea of some physics

What doesn't work for us:

- apps - boring for kid in a long run / questionable impact on eyesight / he's getting used to games rather then apps

- toys - like that: https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Robot-Activity-Pie... doesn't work in long run

I'd love to hear what else is inspiring kids to learn.

I've bought my kids (4 and 6):

1. Learning Resources Code & Go Robot Mouse Activity Set 2. The Official ScratchJr Book: Help Your Kids Learn to Code

They really like playing that. They are at the age that nothing lasts long though. Both are lot of fun and laugh - especially when mouse gets out of board and can't find the cheese (dummy mouse! hahaha!). And in application you can do crazy stuff, including your kids' funny voices etc.

Play, have fun (and the kids will not be aware of learning of logical thinking).
