DS1(6) has decided he's really into Minecraft and that all he wants for Christmas is Minecraft. He's played it about 4 times in his life so it's very much him liking it because his friends do, which I accept is common at his age! Beyond the game itself, are they any things that are actually fun? While there's a crazy amount of merchandise available it seems mostly decorative. We were in the Lego shop and none of the sets really appealed to him. The unofficial magnetic blocks look like the kind of thing he'd enjoy, but I'd be happier if they were produced by a known company as he has a younger brother that still puts things in his mouth and I'm wary of magnets.
He does have access to the actual game, but pretty limited screen time and he's been choosing watching TV over playing it.
I can think of loads of things he'd actually enjoy that aren't related to Minecraft, but I do feel if it ends up being his Christmas list (and I'm hoping it changes) that there should be some sort of fun present for him to open in the morning that relates to it.
