I will be down with my small children in Moab over Spring Break (along with the rest of Utah.....) and am looking for some good stuff to do with kids that can't hike very far. I plan on taking them to do a lot of the arches stuff. Outside of that I have on my list:

Mill spring swimming hole (it'll have to be a hot day)
Tushar Tunnel
Corona Arch
Sand Hill out side Arches entrance

What else should I have on my itinerary? I have a 2 and a 5 year old and I can throw the little dude in my backpack, so I don't mind small hikes in the 1 to 1.5 mile range. I'm looking for hikes, picnic spots, petroglyphs (that are common knowledge), etc.

Everything listed under "Family Fun" is easy to do with young kids

I'll add a couple to Shane's extensive/excellent list:

My kids loved Hunter Canyon and Courthouse Wash from the canyon mouth. Just go up as far as you wish and return.

Negro Bill Canyon is another excellent one, but it might be too far if you were determined to see Morning Glory Arch. Very crowded as well, but worth it.

Maybe we'll see ya down there...
