Take advantage of their interest and game out whatever they just saw on tv. Be
flexible and make up your own ruleset on the spot if you haven't got a
suitable set handy for the exact situation (or rewrite the situation to suit
the rules.
If need be, you can always revert to "throw the die AT the figure to kill
it".

Just had another thought regarding this;
Any system (such as FMA) where the die resolution is simply "my die rolled
more than your die" probably encourages them more than a huge table to
cross-reference.

My four-yr old girl has shown an interest. We let her play in our games
when we can. She sits down, rolls dice, moves miniatures where I as her to and
even gets a few hands of cards in sometimes. Key to keepign your patience is
to remember that they only want to play because you do.
Anna, my girl, has her own "guys". These are cheap dollar store army men,
space men, cowboys and indians and knights and dragons, dinosaurs, etc. These
are sloppily but lovingly painted by her while I paint my minis. This is
great. She gets into the hobby end of the playing (she's very craftsy)
and we get to spend quality time together - even the occasional paint
fight across the table.
