If Overvelte is on the track, you can just go through there, take a break at a koffie / appelgebak and get to know (with children) old craft techniques (such as wooden shoe making / Klompen).

Orvelte is a beautiful authentic Drents village. Because of it's authenticity it turned into something of a museum village, but it is still a 'normal' village. Benefit of being authentic is that it's forbidden for cars. You'll have to park on the edge of town and walk or ride your bike. Nice place to visit! Can be crowded though.
