Presents for 8 year old DS?

[GoodluckJonathan76]

Any ideas re toys? He is football mad but says he still wants some toys.

I also have a football mad 8 year old so we’ve had all the normal footie gear. Goalie net. Dvd’s Showing football tricks. A football net on a string with a handle so he can learn kick ups etc. Football colouring books. The collectors cards. He’s also into the Xbox though so we’ve had a few games for that. In terms of toys. It depends what type of child he is? Does he have patience to do things creative or occupy himself?

Toys that my DS loves:

Technoballs Marble Run
Meccano Micronoid Robot
K'nex looping light up roller coaster
Air hockey table

Remote control jeep. His friend has a remote control crane which he is jealous of!
3d jigsaw puzzles - you can buy lots of football stadium ones. My son likes the Hogwarts castle one that we did as a family at Christmas time.
