I've taught preschool and kindergarten. We were busy ever single minute. The kids were learning something every single minute, even if they didn't know they were learning it--like sitting still, listening to someone else talk, sharing, being patient, helping me or each other, etc.
Karate class for small children is much that way--learning how to listen and respond, being patient, working with adults and other children, practicing simple moves and developing katas, etc. The most important thing they learn is how to back off.
The first belt achievement is a yellow belt. Has he gotten his yellow belt yet? (One hour a week isn't much time to get bored in.)
