my son wants ben 10 for his 5th birthday. i have never seen this - obviously losing the grip! I am sure of course he is an aspirational role model. is he good for 5yr olds?
so uncool. next i'll be bemoaning the days when they made real music...

Dd spotted the free Mr Benn DVD with the Times today and asked if it was Ben 10 ... I have no idea who it is or where she's heard of it from!

He is current fave in our house too, ds and the girls love it.

I sadly know the names of most of the aliens too

I just wish they wouldn't constantly repeat the same episodes.

Both my ds's like Ben 10. There is a film coming out apparently. Toys r us sell loads of stuff, the fave item seems to be the watch thing, Omni- sommat.

My ds has the game for his ds, but he wants it for the wii now too.

Ds keeps giving his omnitrix to me when he goes into school, and then i go off to the shops and listen to it bleeping all around town.

If you need me to I will conduct a full frank Ben10 interview with my 10 yr old when he gets out of the bath. I have a sneaking feeling that he would quite like to be Ben 10. Oh for the days when he wanted to be Thomas the Tank Engine x

The game for the ds does state that they need basic reading ability to be able to play properly, but this doesn't seem to stop ds (who can't read). If he gets stuck he asks me or his sisters to help.

The kids have taken to calling each other dweebs, thanks to Gwen though.

LTH I think I might try that tomorrow
Thanks Nutcracker, ds keeps asking us to help him on the gameboy games with reading but hopefully by september he'll be able to read better on his own!
Ds told me off because I missed his fairytale day and I didn't send hom to school with a Ben 10 costume

ARE YOU READY? Ben10 is 10(funnily enough) he found a watch that allowed him to change into 10 aliens. He has a cousin called Gwen and both of their surname is Tennyson! Gwen can do magic. my son says he thinks your boy would be fine with the game. Also the theme tune according to my son is ace and wicked!!! Hope that is of some help. Shabster for 10 o'clock news in sunny Boltonxx
