KLynnTX Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I need ideas for a 7 year old boy. $15 range? Any good ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Anna Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Okay, I don't know if this would work or not, but I came up with invisible ink for a seven-year-old girl. (Very DIY.) Take one of those party-favor bubbles containers that is empty, pop the wand out of the lid, rinse it out, and fill it with lemon juice. Take a utility knife and split the end of several round toothpicks - make a split about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long. Include a small pad of paper and (if required) instructions on how to write using the toothpicks, let it dry, and then iron the paper on high to read the message. (Note: the mystery books tell you to use a candle flame, but I burned the paper both times I tried that. :lol:) Might work if he doesn't mind homemade gifts.

Julie in CA Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 At this time of year? Biggest water gun that could be bought for the money, or two smaller water guns so he could have water play with friend or sib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
