DS will get from us an Enviro-Botz insect robot

and one of the Lego games from FC (his request)

and grandparents have asked for ideas - I have suggested science kits, microscope, bakugan night visions goggles, spy kit.

magnetix and Playdoh hungry hippos

Right DS just about to be six is getting a skateboard, a screature (which yours might like too if he is in too dinosaurs) and the only other thing I have so far is Kevin 11's car from Ben 10.

PS also knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a helmet.......

DS2 is 6.5 and getting
Football team's new away kit
outfit for his teddy (DD is into this too)
Lego camper van with surfboard
Poss Playmobil but we already have lots

Has also asked for Build a Bear (maybe from Gran) and DS (not getting DS till he's 7)

Thanks nancy and greyskull. I'll go and investigate.

The thread prompted me to pootle around the lego site, and after a chat with ds we've agreed that there is a lot more going on in the lego city coastguard/police ones than the star wars ones.

I'd been putting off investigating so this thread has given me motivation, tips and discounts.

ben ten alien force vehicle that comes with figures

getting nearly six yr old nephew batman figure, chainsaw something or other, lol

if you are looking for wii games there are some on the littlewoods site and the code ZQ266 gives you £25 off with no minumum spend.

I've just taken a look at the Playmobil thread and there are a couple of ideas there - my d has not shown much interest in Playmobil so far but I've seen a couple of things on that thread that might interest him....

RL - my older Ds is after the new Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics one. There is a Lego Star wars game too if you don't already have it.

Some kind of lego star wars ship (one of the smaller ones-he doesn't mind which) as he is obsessed with lego. He has quite a bit already, but it makes him so happy that more of it is fine with me.

I have picked up lots of bits of things like small lego and science kits in tesco when they've been on offer to pad things out.

He is a naive modest chap, and can't think of anything he wants from his grandparents or godmother.

He goes to a small village school and as there are only 3 boys in the class and the mums are in cahoots we have kept the nintendo ds at bay.

He'd like a game for the wii though too, and I'm not sure what would be a good one.
