Toy ideas

Can anyone give me some ideas for toys/games etc for my DS who is turning 5? He's not really into anything as such, for eg dinosaurs or trains, he loves to use his tablet and play on his Disney Infinity game on the PS4. He likes toy cars but looses interest quite quickly in them, he's not into drawing or colouring in or any sorts of crafts. He's had Playmobil stuff (police station, ambulance, helicopter) for Xmas which he lost interest in too. He loves riding his bike so we are getting him a new one for his bday. Apart from that I'm stuck for ideas. His room is full of toys he has no interest in!

Will he be getting presents from others too? I think at 5 if he's having a bike, you don't really need to buy much more.

If he likes being out, how about a kite?

I only get one gift for birthdays , more at Christmas.

Does he like board games? Gamewright do great ones that a 5yo could access. Things like jnr monopoly, jnr Game of Life and Frustration were also a hit here at that age.

Lego?

Can you fit a trampoline in your garden? If he likes to be out these are good

Yes he's got a large trampoline @tinypop4
