Joint present for 2,5 & 12 year old

[NotSoSimpleSally]

Any ideas? Really want to get my 3 DDs a game or toy that they can all play together but struggeling with the age gap.
Did look into something similar to a little scalextric. Any ideas welcome!

parachute but a smaller one than this. Tiger had them on sale last year. Ours gets used on every play date and by all ages (up to 87!). It doesn’t require strength, just a small bit of cooperation.

It's quite an age gap, I don't think you're going to find a toy or game that has equal appeal for a 2 and 12 year old. Sure dd 12 might choose to play along with something that the younger two enjoy but would it really count as a "gift" for her?

Music motion marble run www.houseofmarbles.com/shop/product/quadrilla-wooden-marble-run-music-motion/ or any regular marble run to be honest.
Giant jenga

Sneaky snacky squirrel game - probably not quite a teens cup of tea, but it’s a simple enough game that the 2 and 5 year old can play. You have to collect acorns, which might involve stealing from other players. The grown ups usually love doing this!

Dobble - you can get an easy younger version.

Do they have a garden? Swingball, cricket set, football goals, basketball net. I think something outdoorsy/sporty might be the way to go.

Marble run definitely! As long as 2 year old is watched closely it would be fine I think. We have a small marble tree that my 2, 5 and 11 year old play with.

Alternatively, magnetic tiles. Magnatiles or playmags? All 3 of my kids okay with the duplo, even the 11 year old! Magnetic tiles or Tegu even seems a good alternative.

Laser gun - lots of fun for all ages younger ones would likely need help
Something for the garden if you have one - trampoline, swing, climbing frame
Tickets to visit somewhere/watch something
Console with games for each of their age ranges
Art box full with paints canvases pens etc
iPad/kindle
Board games

It is going to be really hard to find something that suits such a big age range. Do they like singing? Not sure what the current replacements for Singstar are but something along those lines where you can have karaoke style music to suit all ages. We had a big age gap, pre sing star and bought a karaoke machine and a dance mat and both went down a treat because they could be customised to suit the ages

Tegu. I took a set on family holiday as ds is 3 and the only cousins on my side are 10, 12 & 15 and I thought he’d feel so part of it if the big kids liked his toys. We left it on the coffee table and everyone played with it. The 12yo the most although it must be as much personality as the specific age.
