Make it fun.

Take them to games. Doesn't need to be big leagues, although that is fun too. Get them ice cream or whatever treats they are excited about. Talk to them about what is going on.

We don't do much TV in our house, but check out The Savannah Bananas on youtube- very cool, they make it fun. Also classic baseball movies (Field of Dreams Sandlot, etc) are great for whole family.

Play catch with soft balls so they can try to catch it without being worried about ball hitting them if the face.

Volunteer to coach. Kids like being with their parents at that age. If you have limited baseball background that's okay. It is mostly about learning the kids names and having a positive attitude at this age.

Baseball cards in the christmas stocking (or whenever else a small gift is appropriate).

Baseball books such as https://www.amazon.com/My-First-Book-Ba ... 1618931679

Don't oversell baseball. Let them try other sports. Maybe they will find they like something else better and that's okay.
