It's been a long time since my DC were little. No idea what to get for 5 year nephew!
Does anyone have any great ideas?

At that age my son was bonkers about wooden trains and railways. Didn’t have to be Brio or Thomas. The supermarkets have nice sets. He is still train mad so still plays with them now and he is 9.
Can’t go wrong with hot wheels, play doh, outside chalk or diggers from experience x

Omggg this was one of the worst gifts we received, it had 140 pieces - nothing worse. Sorry 🙈

Hahaha I agree. My son asked for another Marble Rush set last Xmas....I stupidly bought it. Drives me nuts, takes ages to build, then it's just in the living room looking a mess!
