Sightseeing
Studland has lots of off-road mountain bike trails (may be a bit trickier with kids). There is nice walk over the Sandbanks chain ferry (which you can go as a foot passenger or in the car) to Old Harry Rocks - famous local landmark. And you can get the bus back from Studland village.
Best eats in Studland: The Pig Hotel and Bankes Arms pub

General good places to visit- Corfe Castle ruins and a steam train to and from Swanage. Swanage is a classic seaside town- fish and chips, arcades, nice beach etc.
