Toddlers.
I tell the young ones that we will try to spot one or two categories of their favorite things: dinosaurs, for instance, or kittens. We once met a couple whose two toddlers were focused on finding all the leashed dogs wandering about. I realized this was introducing them to one of the pleasures at the heart of collecting — finding different kinds of the same thing.
You can also investigate what your kids fixate on most. Toddlers often like to explore the insides of things, so let them — assuming those insides don't contain loose parts or old paint.
