Curiosity starts with things where there is an interest.  Even if it is a 'silly' subject, try to get them to explore it, learn about it and study/research it.  Reading comic books is better than not reading at all.  You can move from comics to more substantial material.  If they like ghosts, read about ghosts, watch movies with/about ghosts.  If it's football, learn about the game, players etc.  

It's a slow process, but curiosity can be re-learned.  I think it's innate, and then destroyed, thus it needs to be re-learned.

Curiosity depends on personality so how on earth can you think it's innate,you can't learn curiosity it forms part of your personality. I have two little girls and thier brains and curiosity about everything is just so great, their brains are like little computers just absorbing everything.

Maybe take your kids out more, waterfalls, beaches etc. they won't get curiosity from Google.
