What to do with kids in Paris for Christmas?

I will be in Paris with three children (1, 2, and 4) for a few days over the Christmas holiday, including Christmas (Dec. 18-Dec 26).

The typical sites aren't going to be kid-worthy at their age, plus I've already seen them, so I'm at a loss for what to do so they won't be bored and want them to be engaged instead of sitting in a hotel room.

Please advise!

Update:

Cabal, awesome! Thank you.

More ideas, please!

    There's a nice carousel at the bottom of the Sacre Coeur. I know at the Luxembourg gardens they sail boats in the fountain, but not sure if it goes on in December. Still a nice place to let the kids roam. I take my kid to Parc Monceau and the big one Parc Andre-Citroen.

    For treats I like: http://chezbogato.fr/

    So so nice for kids.

    There's the circus: Cirque d'Hiver <3 and there should be one in Bois de Boulogne as well with entertainers and animals. I went there when my kid was a baby.

    The Bateau Mouche is nice for kids. Takes a tour around the Seine, and you get to see amazing upclose views of many of the monuments, like the Eiffel Tour.

    There's childrens theater, like the one we love: http://www.eng.cityvox.fr/shows_paris/l-antre-magi...

    Cite Sciences is nice for Science related activites. There's also the IMAX dome there with 3d. Check out the site for events going on. http://www.cite-sciences.fr/english/index.php

    Palais de la Decouverte is another science place with a planetarium.

    http://www.lswn.it/en/museums/sciences/country/fra...

    There's the zoo at Jardin des Plantes!

    Museum of Magic is a wonderful museum with lots to see and has a magic show every couple hours. :)

    You can see other kid events going on in the city at: http://www.eng.cityvox.fr/sorties-enfants_paris/Ci...

    Have fun in the city!!

    You have the special 12 mn light show at the Eiffel tower from 22 october to 31 december at 8, 10, and 11 pm

    Christmas market at La Défense on the Parvis, with games for kids and a French Santa Claus or the one on the Champs Elysées (there's plenty of them around)

    You have the windows of the Galeries Lafayette with animated dolls.
