Yes, we do. I haven't posted in a while, but there's
a lot in the groups archives.

Anything and everything.
My wife and I are both fluent in Esperanto, so our
main focus is simply to speak it with the children.
When my first child was small, we had some
opportunities to travel to events where there were
other children from similar situations, so Esperanto
was the common language there.
If your children are older (that is, already talking)
you could look into a course for children, like
the Urso-Kurso. My recomendation would be to get
everything you can get your hands on -- with perhaps
one exception.(*)
Depending on where you live, you could start here to
find a book service:
www.esperanto-usa.org
www.esperanto.net
(*) Several years ago, the Chinese government
published a great selection of children's books in
Esperanto, and they're still available through
many Esperanto book services. Most of these books
are great (and inexpensive). Quite a few, however,
are propagandistic, or otherwise inappropriate. If
you'd like an opinion on any specific title, you can
let me know.
