If children do not disturb those praying, it is permissible to bring them to the mosque to learn prayer. As for females, their prayer in their homes is better. It is permissible to hold a coloring and drawing session if the mosque does not get soiled, but the session should not be for entertainment in the mosque because it was built for worship. The hadith mentioned in the question is weak and cannot be used as proof. Buying and selling in the mosque is not permissible. There is no harm in visiting the mosque.
