Stuck for boys!

[TTAoD]

Hey just near enough finished my daughters Christmas but stuck for both my boys.

One will be eight and he is autistic, he likes sensory items, anything animals particularly red pandas but I think I have bought the whole red panda stock available the UK lol Loves knex and games but don't see any new ps4 games that would be appropriate for him this year.

My youngest is 3, again I have exhausted the paw patrol stock so kinda ran out of ideas, all he likes is paw patrol seen the new Marshall truck but can't justify it lol🤔 he is an active boustrious boy, got him trampoline last year stumped for ideas this year!

Any inspiration greatly appreciated!!! 😁

My local Aldi have metal dome climbing frames reduced to £30. Maybe that would be good for your youngest? For your other son what about a zoo experience, some of them sell opportunities to do and feed certain animals

This national geographic kids book about the red panda has good reviews

Hey thank you for your ideas, will check out aldi when I'm in and the book looks brilliant we don't have that one and we don't have a t-shirt 😀

Have you looked on Aliexpress for red panda stuff?
I know they have a cable holder red panda (you put it on your iPhone charger cable and it looks like the panda is eating the phone). There are also quite a few zoos that do red panda encounters (haven't checked ages etc) but that could be a lovely day out.

Has he got a scooter/balance bike?

what about sponsoring a red panda?
You’d need to check them out but there are a few different options

My ds is similarly passionate about penguins and we sponsor a penguin The updates have been excellent. He’s learned a lot about geography, different cultures, climate problems and politics which has gently expanded his knowledge and talking points too.

Ps4 games out later this year, Lego supervillains and Lego the incredibles (both on DS Christmas list!)

My 3 year old DS loves the DC imaginext stuff.

If he has a bike does it still fit him? If not Maybe a bike upgrade, I swear they grow too much at 3!

There's a razor lil crazy cart for toddlers, that looks interesting and something an adventurous kid may like ;)

Thank you all, for your amazing ideas. I will look into sponsoring or adopting red panda, I think we would love that and benefit from it. Red panda experience people have brilliantly suggested he is getting for his birthday ( can't wait to see his face).My youngest does have balance bike maybe it's time for pedals! This has been very helpful thank you

Also have a little fan of the dc imaginext. To be honest my ds(4) loves everything imaginext we've just got him the imaginext Jurassic park t rex for Christmas and the batman battle bot

Books from the Book People - they always have great gift books at Xmas.
