5teae old who loves letters and numbers

[dontcrynow]

What would you get him? Im wracking my brains

Sorry about typo-I mean he's a 5 year old

What about some Orchard Toys games? Pop to the Shop is good for numbers, yiu have to work out the cost of items. My 5yo likes it.

Otherwise a calculator (or a toy till with a calculator in).

Foam letters and numbers to stick in the bath?

Junior Scrabble game.

Box of magnetic letters and numbers.

ELC used to do number snap cards, but that was a while ago!

Giant calculator, DS was fascinated with his for ages.

Dice/dice games like this or just a selection of different shaped ones.

Kids suduko or wordsearch type puzzle books. Poundland had some festive puzzle books last time I was in.

Uno

Whiteboard & pens (crayola do washable ones)

my DS is obsessed also, things that he has liked include
giant calculator
sum swamp board game
Wordsearch junior game

Have a look at the Happy Puzzle company, they have loads of good word and number games. My 5 year old is the same, I have got him the Mobi game, a bit like bananagrams but with numbers instead of letters.

triominos! or uno?

Thanks for all these suggestions. I think a trip to Toys ar us is in order today.

Foam letter bath stickers

My 5 year old likes playing Bananagrams. It's more aimed at older children/adults, so she sometimes needs a little bit of guidance, but I have seen they now have a junior version. And there is also something called Pairs in Pears, which is similar, but a bit easier, and comes in a green bag that looks like a pear.
My DD loves that bananagrams comes in a yellow bag shaped like a banana.
Boggle is also good fun - again maybe a little advanced at the moment, so you might have to tweak the rules a little, but good to grow into.
