MJN Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 in the mail? He's not into Playmobil yet, is very smart, not sure about sending a book as I'm not sure what he has already. My mind is just blank. Thanks for helping me! Molly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A set of legos? An outdoor toy like a pop-up tent, big frisbee, 'camping' supplies, etc...? I love the toys on www.moolka.com, www.magiccabin.com, and www.hearthsong.com (they're great for finding some ideas). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 No Stress Chess? It was recommended by several people here, and I bought it, and we love it. 5 yo understands how all the pieces move and is now happy to play regular chess (which you can play with the same board, just turn it over and don't use the cards), and 3 yo doesn't quite get how the pieces move yet, but he likes to set up the board. It's been our go-to gift for all the 5 yo's friends lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herding Cats in NC Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 A set of legos? :iagree: My ds5 loves, loves, loves Legos. Monopoly Junior is also a big hit around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydusk Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Is he Engineering minded? If so, I just ordered these for my nephew and think he's going to love them and will (potentially) get many years play out of them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiam Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 My son got a Ant Farm for his birthday....the kind that lights up..he (and the rest of us too!) loves it! We check to see what the ants have done everyday. Plus since it lights up in this cool blue glow, he uses it as a nightlight (I unplug once he is asleep). We had to order the ants seperately, but only cost a few dollars, so you could do that too. Fat Brain toys had the best price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hyper Dash is a game my kids got for Christmas, and it has been a big hit. It requires quick thinking and physical movement, can be played indoors in a small space (even on a table top) or outdoors spread around the yard or driveway, and can be played by one player alone or up to four individuals. The kids have really enjoyed it -- and it's a game I had never heard of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey in MA Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ....to "Highlights High Five" (for 5 year olds). We have been enjoying that together and she likes getting something in the mail with her name on it! She has mentioned that it's "too easy", but yet she still enjoys it. The next step up would be Highlights. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000I0RKX2/interactiveda801-20 http://www.amazon.com/Highlights-For-Children/dp/B00008IHFC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=magazines&qid=1237897595&sr=1-1 Good luck and happy shopping! :-) - Stacey in Ma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have a 5 yo grandson who loves to get gift cards. Last birthday I gave him a birthday card with a ToysRus gift card and he just about went crazy with happiness. Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
