Another way to do "fog of war" is to imitate Warhammer Quest / Hero Quest where floor tiles are placed on the table. Might be a bit much for a 5 y/o given the articles points about the greatness of magnets.
I've recently been using white sticky notes, which are quite easy to remove and cover a 3x3 square grid almost exactly, to great effect in a pen and paper RPG I run.

You could also cut the gameboard into tiles and flip them over as the players approach an area.
