What do you get your DC that don't like toys?

[purplespink]

DD 7 has never been a toy fan. She prefers crafts and electronics but I usually get her a few toys too that never get played with. She very occasionally plays schools with her teddies but that's about it. I feel a bit bad, although I'm not sure why, but she honestly has never picked up toys to play with. Even when I try to play them with her, she doesn't enjoy it. What do you buy your DC that don't like or play with toys? She doesn't really appreciate clothes and shoes as resents, although I've seen a really cool, glittery pair of trainers that I might get her.

I’d lean into what she does actually like. If she’s into crafts, what about some acrylic pens, stones/rocks and a book of ideas? Or fimo soft, again with some implements and a book of ideas? Wet clay? Acrylic paints, watercolour set, watercolour pencils, pastels, big canvases?

Would she build stuff with magnatiles?
I had one like this when she was younger, definitely had more success with outdoor things.

Simple musical instruments? Like xylophone, ukulele etc?

A video camera and plasticine to make stop motion animations
An Amazon Echo to play music in her room

An organiser board for her craft supplies - see IKEA Skadis range; cutting board; own scissors (decent ones)…. Go crafty!!!

Mine is autistic and not into craft.

He got analogue things like Think Fun one player games, an old fashioned chess computer with physical pieces to move and a couple of introductory kids' books about chess, more books, squishmallow, paper aeroplane book, lego ideas book. Also an old phone, locked down, with music & audiobooks loaded on, as an MP3 player.

Maybe an electronics kit, or technic lego that's a few years in advance of her age.
