[hercules]

Any ideas?

Not any game consoles btw.

Tia

Horrid Histories
Lemony Sniket books
Anything Yugioh
Cluedo
Magic set

That's what my 9 yo likes anyway.

Thanks.
Horrid history - very good idea - will def get.
What is Yugioh?
Cluedo - yes, good idea. HE doesnt have that one.
Ditto magic set.

Thanks

lens and mirror kit

star planetarium or the quercetti constellation in the SPACE & PLANETS section

Hercules - Red House have got a set of Horrid Histories, 10 for £10

What about an electronics set? There's a Cambridge one that looks quite good. I'll try and do a link in a mo.

Finally - dh thinks the most exciting thing in the world for a 9 yr old would be - uncracked volcanic geodes 3 for £3.75 from Hawkins Bazaar

Tickseed search on here for 'Explorer Electronics' - probably available elsewhere.

We have the John Adams Plug and Play Electronics 1 & 2, but two is no longer available.

Wow! Brilliant ideas! Will show to dh. Thanks!

Puff ... sod the kids, I want the lens and mirror kit: now that was a bit of physics that I did always understand and enjoy

Know what you mean roisin, I want the solar powered rainbow maker from Hawkins Bazaar.
