Soapstone is really nice looking. Put it in an area for baking, then let
him do some baking so he'll be spending some time there enjoying it as well
as refreshing it if it needs it.

We got new counters and it took us a long time to decide granite or quartz.
We chose Cambria vs. Silestone or Zodiak because it had in the upper grades
patterns that were closer to granite in looks.
