Any toy ideas for five year old boy? I'm getting him rollerskates. Want to get him couple of other things. He dislikes construction, drawing, crafts. Likes reading instructions and numbers! But any ideas of just age appropriate things really would be welcome he likes board games but already has buckeroo, junior monopoly, kerplunk, twister. Many thanks

Would he like dressing up?

How about a couple of Christmas DVDs? Polar Express is lovely at that age.

Does he have a scooter?

Oh and micro scooter

Stompythedinosaur · 30/10/2017 20:45

Walkie talkies or other spy stuff.
Dobble and junior labyrinth are good games for that age.
Magic set maybe?

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 30/10/2017 22:18

What about an electronics set? Lots of instructions to follow! Needs a bit of supervision at that age.

Magic set as others have suggested.

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 30/10/2017 22:19

Oh, guess who or connect 4 for games.

singadream · 30/10/2017 23:00

My ds loves guess who and connect 4

DS1 who will be 5 at Christmas loves Operation & snakes and ladders. He also loves Magformers (but not Lego etc), Switch & go dinosaurs, science toys and Hot wheels.

starpatch · 31/10/2017 10:26

Thanks for all the suggestions think I'm going to go for hot wheels (just need to choose which set!). And ask for walkie talkies from grandparents. I'm obviously rubbish at this but going to Google all the suggestions as birthday coming up too :-)
