I thought Christmas was sorted as amongst the presents I had got each dc a game so that flip rudix cube game and guess who
But my parents have just bought the same game for ds for his birthday.
Now I'm all out of ideas!
He is 8 not competitive, creative and likes minecraft, lego and drawing.
I had got him something he could play outside either on his own or with friends (similar to swingball)
Any ideas???
