The important thing is that they are not "addictive" or have (a lot of) ads. I can recommend GCompris, SuperTuxKart and TowerJumper.

Mindustry (factory management with tower defense and rts) is also available for android and is on fdroid too so no ads. It might be a bit addicting I guess.

it's a very solid game, one of the two games that made me actually interested in foss software, but it might be really complicated for an average kid

My bad, I should have thought about that. bleh Emulators are probably the way to go.

anuto td (github link for some images) might be up one kid's alley for a foss android tower defense experience then. it doesn't have many towers and is still fun to rack up points and beat yourself in the high scores

god i love fdroid
