Pamela H in Texas Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 7yo boy like to do? If you had to say his top 3 or 5 things to do, what are they? Now...what about your 9yo girl? I feel like it's been forever since I've had these ages. I just want to have plenty for them to do :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soph the vet Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have both of these:D! My ds7 loves his army guys right now. He has about 150 WWII and Civil War plastic figures (pick them up at the grocery store for very cheap) and he sets them up all over the house...I live in a war zone! He also loves baseball, playing catch, soccer, and Legos. He reads a lot, especially likes the Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown. My dd9 is a prolific writer. She loves to journal and make up codes for others to break. She reads everything, loves American Girl related things including the only website I let her go on for the games Americangirl.com . She also enjoys riding her bike and swimming. Baking is fun for her too. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinag Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 My just turned 8yob loves to swim, play with water guns, throw the baseball, play video games(with his older brother), LOVES legos, board games, and paint. He also LOVES doing science kits and experiments. Forgot to add that he loves little army men and tanks- we can get them cheap at the dollar store along with water balloons.

hsmamainva Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I have an 8 year old boy!!

He loves Legos and any other construction sets (K'nex / Tinkertoys / blocks) He loves to play outside -- riding bikes, playing basketball, climbing trees, wading through the creek and exploring the woods (we live in the country) He loves video games, computer games, and board games (especially Monopoly and Chess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela H in Texas Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Y'all are great. I think I was just WAY overthinking this! My kids mostly ran around outside, did experiments, played legos, and dug in the sandbox at those ages. I'll show you "the room" if I ever get it put together. I'm really excited!
