Can anyone recommend a good birthday present for a very active 5 year old who likes the outdoors? We have bikes, slides swings etc… was toying with the idea of a scooter/ board but unsure where to start?

Bought my 4 year old this for xmas! He can't do it completely unaided yet - but dad helps, he loves it and honestly, its brilliant - (I mention it because we use it outdoors, building ramps and roads and mud piles etc for it!)

My son favours his bike over the scooter.
Does your child like animals? Horse riding lessons maybe? (Mine would LOVE that!)

that is super cool i love that!

Yes animals are always a winner - so lessons may be good- i would like to get a little something too which will last as well for the garden i think
