DS has asked for a metal detector off Santa. I found this in Toys R Us but it is from age 6. Do you think it would be suitable or not?

yes in principle. ds (just on ASD spectrum) got a little hand held one and a box (litter tray) with pasta shape and lots of radom stuff to dig out of it - some metal some not. Best played with toy for 2 years. He turns 6 next year.

The one that ds got was from WHSmiths though and is smaller. will try to find it or similar.

it wasnt as fancy as this but something similar

DeckTheIceWithDragonsAndHolly · 08/12/2010 15:55

I think it depends whether u think he will be too rough with it. In theory yes go for it!!!

Oh I wonder if the smaller one would be better or not.

Got our ds one about the same age and he loves it, he's 9 now, first thing he packs when we go to Cornwall (never found anything of value but he "knows" the romans buried a hoard down there somewhere). Think it is from National Geographic
