joannqn Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 So what do 6 year old boys like to play with these days? What will help make my house a place where they will want to come over to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
school17777 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It probably depends on the kids. In my house, Playmobile used to draw the neighborhood boys over. At my nephew's house, (twin 6yrs old), they seem to be interested more in video games and talk about going to their friends' house with certain video games. They don't really play much with toys anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 Do you have the space to leave the Play Mobile sets assembled? We don't, and no one has the patience to spend two hours assembling the stupid thing (large zoo set) every time someone wants to play with it. Legos have been a huge dud with my kids. When they do get them out, they build rectangles with them. I'm mostly looking for indoor ideas right now because the weather won't allow for much outside play for the next four or five months. Are Beyblades still popular? Or has everyone gotten bored of those? What about Skylanders on the Wii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 DS says duct tape and string. He's not 6 anymore but seems to remember those days well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoseInABook Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 My kids are obsessed with Legos, tiny toys like little lizards, geckos, or frogs, books, dance parties, computer times. My 5 year old generally spends his time in the Lego room when he's not doing school lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Mine plays with these every day. Mostly when he is with his friends they pretend to be whatever they are playing (baby spiders, cats, battle games etc.) They do not need anything except space for these games. Well, the battle games usually involve guns and light sabers :coolgleamA: . Sometimes they use stuffed animals to play also. Interested to hear others. We do not have skylander. He likes beyblades, not as much lately but still likes them. Mine does like to play xbox/wii games and minecraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonfirmath Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Honestly, my son has the most fun playing outside. He wants to be outside doing -- just about anything. Sometimes we can lure him inside with games. Tsuro Kids of Carcassone Family Fluxx Yahtzee Jr Occasionally Candyland or the like He's asked for a Scooter (Kick) and a Magnetic Dart board for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
