Dmmetler Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Legos. At least, that's how it's worked here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mélie Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Legos. At least, that's how it's worked here! :iagree: I don't know if erector sets are still cool, but my boys love their cousins' and I'll be getting them their own for Christmas.

Joshin Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The Thames and Kosmos kits are highly popular with DS7. He especially likes the Solar Physics and Physics Workshop kits. These combine a bit of building, lots of gears and some simple electricity. Erector sets are another hit, although the small screws may have been too hard for him to manipulate at 5 years old. It would depend on how good a young child's fine motor skills are and how chubby their fingers are, I would think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merylvdm Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 My boys also loved K'Nex. Though - it was their younger sister who LOVED Snap Circuits - and she didn't play with any of the things mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
