To the extent possible, organize time. Lots of comments here about specific activities that I'd agree with, but, specially with kids, life can become complicated, and there is always something unexpected or pending. Decide what sort of activity should happen daily, weekly and monthly, so that needs are covered, to the extent possible, and expectations are clear. Very important for stability in general.
Activities don't have to be set in stone, and can change as needs change. I'd start with things like time for the child to be with each parent, time all together, time for the parents, time to get chores done, outside activities... Maybe the time with the child later splits into play time and read time, for example.
Having done this helps when later they ask for other things e.g. tv or videogame time, that need to be limited.
