my DS wants "everything on Nick Junior" (the adverts I presume) Not sure what eh will get yet but it won't be very much as he had a bike in the summer.
Have been thinking about the Leappad thingy (for MIL to buy) but was thinking he might have grown out of it by now? He is 4 in January.

LadyCodofCodford · 07/10/2005 11:56

here
and ds3 wants the playdoh puppy thing

nutcackle · 07/10/2005 11:58

Hmm looks a bit too old for him Cod, he will only be just 3.

Really wanted to get him a ride on tractor but then everyone else will get nothing

TheRtHonBaronessEnidOBE · 07/10/2005 12:01

ooh ooh what playdo puppy thing

link please

K'nex is a construction set with different lenght and coloured interlocking bars, cog wheels, motors etc. You can also get a chunkier version called Kids K'nex - Woolies have it. Brio Builder, a wooden version of Meccano, is also good for little fingers , you can get vehicles (including Scoop et al a few years back)to construct and then play with or mini tool boxes with screws, bolts and so on. Or how about a Lego Duplo set such as the airport. Think the 1st Leappad is a bit young and limited for its cost.

LadyCodofCodford · 07/10/2005 12:04

thank god it onyl extrudes his tonuge

ds3 cna do kids knex and he is 2 so you shoudl eba ble to do it

So a no no to the my first leappad then ??

We do already have a leappad which he can use so i suppose it would be pointless really.
