Whatever you do dont use cards
I reccomend doing something with candy, balloons, sponges mabe. If you have robbye the raccoon then that would be a good thing. Anyway anything that is simple and fun for the kids.

There is a wealth of knowledge there.
Get David Kaye's "Seriously Silly"... it should tell you most everything you need to know. I'm sorry, but you just don't seem like you're ready for a Kids Show... I know I'm not!

Not adjones but to the guy asking for the magic. If you don't have any kids magic then DECLINE the show. I agree with adjones. I gave you suggestions but that is if you have them.If not then go to the link and post around search and look up information.
this is important in kid shows!!!! use something visual! like a vanishing card. try to make it easy. how i entertain kids is by using misdirection and shaking a spoon or fork making it look like it bends by it self. kids wouldnt know that it was an easy trick.
Spongeballs, Stratosphere, Stiff Rope, Coloring Book, TT and silk, D'Lites if in a dark room, anything that can disappear, change bag, balloons tricks, flaming dove pan with candy in it....etc.
Act silly and have fun. You better have some great audience management skills or the kids will take over the show in no time. Trust me....I am a 4th grade teacher and I know how fast kids can turn on you and ruin things.
Just my two cents.

Also, don't try to do anything too difficult since they are only 3-5 even the simplest of tricks(when you don't flash) will get to them.
...Good luck.
Oh and one more thing, make sure they understand what's going on in the trick as well.

Guy Hollingworth released a book of kids tricks ( http://www.guy-hollingworth.com/onceuponatime.html ). I've never seen this performed and it sounds a little confusing but seeing as Guy Hollingworth made it I'm sure it's a great collection.
Definitaly something quick and visual, a routine with Spongeballs will always get reactions from little kids. D'lites would be great to.
1. D'lites
2. Spongeballs
3. Couple thumb tip tricks
4. Torn&restored effect
5. Do as I do (Cyril's version with water might be good enough)
6. Show and teach trick
7. Ropes
8. Effect with IT
I think from this list you can create a pretty routine for kids about an hour long.
