I should know this as this is my 3rd boy lol...but I'm stumped for ideas.
DS3 turns 6yrs old next week & I have no idea what to get him & don't want to run out last minute & just grab stuff. He seems to play with what ever his 11 & 7yr old brothers play with & it like he has no set favourite toys. He has asked for Bakugans, he has a couple & they never get played with. Budget is about $100-$150 Any ideas would be great

oh a scooter that's an idea, thanks
I think I am have trouble since he is #3 & he is so used to the toys we have. He follows his brothers with toys to play with so lots that his brothers played with when they were his aged are not played with by him as he is playing with what the 11 & 7yr olds are playing with. He does love drawing & playdoh. |

How about a huge drawing pad (or even better a ream of A2 paper)and a whole bunch of felts / crayons and maybe paints? Boys seem to love lying on the ground with huge pieces of paper to draw. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

| We got Isla a whole heap of craft stuff like that for her 5th birthday. We also got a cardboard gingerbread house that she could colour in which went down a treat! |

Thanks for all the suggests girls, much appreciated
My kids are gamer kids, well DS1 is & the other 2 follow in his footsteps...so we will get him a xbox360 game. Am thinking of getting activities to help him with writing, spelling & maths...not sure what. & a couple of Bakugans. Really want to get a scooter but want to get all 3 of them ones so will that for xmas. |
