Kids' Routes at Mt Woodson

Taking the kids (6 year old and 4 year old) up to Woodson to scramble around tomorrow and wanting to get them on a rope for a bit.  I've climbed there a good bit over the years and had a good solo circuit but I was definitely looking for different types of routes for myself than I would be for them.   If you can think of any good little slabs or anything with holds on them (scarce at woodson) that's ideal.  The slab downclimb on the east side of the warm up boulder is perfect.  We'll probably just play around on downclimbs all day but if there's some classic low 5 slab I'm forgetting, I'm all ears.
Thanks

This is what you're looking for:

The bottom is a nice flat sandy area. Good for hanging out with the kids.

PS. I think you could belay by just sitting down on the other side of the lip at the top. (The lip is perfect bench height above the ground.)Kids are so light anyway, right? Then you can coach from the top!

Behind fake eppulator on the same boulder is ultimate kids climbing with a good adult circuit in the same area.

The 6 year old has Mother Superior wired so was looking for something different.  Good call on Fake Eppulator area.

Kids these days are just crazy strong... 

But seriously, here are some that kiddos might enjoy and seem to fit your criteria.

Half a page of posts and no mention of locals?

Second on the tricky slab. Also the boulder near fake eppulator. The triple cracks near robbins is nice and sunny and kid friendly. Elsas crack is annoying with the rope getting stuck but if you build the anchor kind of near the top, not actually on top, you can keep it out aiiiight.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
