What toy does your 9 year old play with / enjoy most?

DD is 9 next week and I am looking for ideas. She loves lego (we have loads), building stuff, magnets, reading, chess, coding, robotics and games, and a bit crafty but not hugely so. She is not really into clothes / toiletries etc. Ideally something fun rather than educational necessarily as I have some of those things and would really just like her to have something to enjoy. She has a sibling so it could be something to use as a pair.

Can anyone share ideas of presents that have gone down well? I am looking at things under £50 as already have a couple of items. The kids are currently also saving for a Nintendo so although that's coming it won't be for a few months!

My kids love building things too! They love playsets with their favourite characters. and one my daughter loved especially is this one www.maqio.com/collections/lego-building-toys/products/monster-high-draculaura-s-birthday-bash-set

She has spent so much time playing with this and adding to it from her other set. It's only a little set but so worth it! Good luck on your present hunt

Exploding kittens, great game for the whole family or siblings can just play. We got this for dcs at Christmas (14 & 9) it was a big hit.
