  We had children under 11 at our reception too and they were very happy to dance with their parents and with everyone else.  But if you're really concerned you could set out some coloring books or lawn games for the children.

  I'm going to ditto Panda on this. You'd be surprised how much little kids love to dance.
  
  If you want, set up some coloring/activity books for them, maybe a little space with some board games but I wouldn't go too nuts.

  I agree, kids love to dance!  Maybe do a small candy bar for them and some coloring books but I think you'll be good.

  Kids love dancing so most will be on the floor with the adults. They also know how to entertain themselves with no problem. Given those choices, very few if any will want to be stuck at an isolated table with a movie or coloring book while everyone else is having fun elsewhere.

  I like the idea of a big sack of stuff to do for each kid. Makes them feel welcomed and they can sit by their parents this way.
