Bought my two kinetic sand for the first time and I LOVE it!!

It’s so fun to play with.

I collect LOL dolls too as I think they are cute...but now I’m tempted by the poopsie sparkly critters too as they look cute

Lego & jigsaw puzzles for me!

Loved playing with play doh when mine were younger. However playing playdoh with them was no fun. They just mixed all the colours together so they formed that horrible sludge Brown colour and to top it all, I wasmt actually allowed to touch the stuff.....just had to watch Confused

I love sylvanian families more than most children probably do!

I’ve been collecting sylvanian families since i was a child, when my dc were really little I pretended for a while i was just continuing collecting for them. Now they have their own collections and know that i will always appreciate a
Set for Christmas etc, particularly rare or ‘retired’ ones.

Most board games.
Lego.

I love sylvanians too, DP bought me some for Xmas.

Love the nerf guns, train sets and Lego.

I like colouring and certain crafts. Once some (adult) friends came round and the Hama beads were out and we sat doing them for about an hour!

I can’t get excited by dolls or playmobil really or anything that requires much imagination Blush

Lego
Shopping tolls

MustardScreams · 26/12/2019 00:19

Yes to kinetic sand. I also love making slime with dd. It amazes me every time!

Fatted · 26/12/2019 00:23

Lego or anything that involves building

Although I fucking hate playmobil

Play-doh is fun. I love drawing with my kids because they are the only people impressed by my art. They will probably overtake me by age 6 or so but for now I feel like Michelangelo

Brio trains. My sons and I spend hours building track and then they go to sleep and I stay awake to build some more.

Vellichor · 26/12/2019 06:52

Fuzzy felt and play doh

Vellichor · 26/12/2019 06:56

Oh and Scalextric and those Jolly Postman style books with the letters in envelopes. My friend had a toy post office when I was a child and I think I could still quite enjoy helping set that up!

Galt marble run. I got some marble genius extensions with a splitter and loop the loop which are cool.

Badly want to try and make a speedometer for the marbles from raspberry pi-type things.

We bought DNeff a Spirograph set for Christmas and its soooooo satisfying to use. I want one for me now.

SlightlyWizened · 27/12/2019 16:46

OOh I used to love making and then playing with the warm play dough. So therapeutic!
