DDR Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Not into Legos, blocks, art, toys. He's either reading voraciously, learning, and asking questions or playing ball. He'll play card/board games with others, but I need him to be able to keep himself busy when I'm working with his siblings. Any suggestions on toys, materials to have on hand?

DDR Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes. He will read for hours. I just can't find anything other than reading or sports to keep his interest. I'm not complaining because who doesn't want their kid to love to read, I'm just wondering if I'm missing something that I should have on hand for him.

Hedgehogs4 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 video games or tv...? just a suggestion. :lol: sorry, i'm feeling a bit punchy...what about starting him on a project like snap circuits? Read, then build, then tell me what you learned when I'm done with your brother/ sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracieT Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 My mom said when I was in fifth grade she went to school to talk to my teacher because all I wanted to do was read. He told her to just make me go sit outside and read. :) I don't have any other advice, just letting you know some kids are like that. Oh, what about puzzle books? Would he sit and do those alone?

Farrar Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We have solo games, some of which are good for logic, like Rush Hour and Castle Logix. Or you could just give him a pile of Matt Christopher books and leave him alone. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
