What are you getting your six yo BOY for Christmas?

[devonpow]

DS1 is 7 - he is getting a skateboard, a bow and arrow set (with suction cups - he did archery at camp this summer and is obsessed), and a bunch of random Minecraft, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and Lego sets. I think relatives are getting him a magic set, a domino set, and this break your own geodes thing (He is really into rocks and finding "treasure" lol)

He has been all Legos all the time for the past 3-4 years, he is just now branching out a bit. Last year when he was 6 the big hits (other than Legos) were a robot toy that shoots foam discs,  Star Wars stuff, and Simon.


I think we are getting him a driveway basketball hoop but for his birthday - no fun to give that in December when it will be too cold and snowy to use it for a few months

- Lego City coast guard and train station

- more large lego plates

- headphones

- Olaf Trouble game

- play doh set

- umbrella

-Mickey Mouse dominoes (he is obsessed with all kinds of dominoes)

-Knex coaster

-paw patrol look out tower (his request)

- paw patrol 3 pack set

- Dvds- How to Train Dragon 2 when it comes out next week, Planes 2

-putting green and a golf glove in his stocking for fun

Some other ideas I gave to grandparents:

I'm posting here so I can come back to good ideas for my 5 yo. He'll probably get some lego and Minecraft stuff and a captain America helmet. I also had great success with giving the kids coupons for their birthdays so we'll do that again for Christmas. Coupons were for 1/2 hr screen time, ice cream cone at local gelateria, etc.

I've gotten these old school butt scooters for my nephews and they love them. They scoot around the house. www.amazon.com/Gamecraft-Safety-Guard-Scooters-Orange/dp/B0000AOEN0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415301130&sr=8-1&keywords=butt+scooter

He swears up and down he wants a robot dinosaur, so I'll have to look into that.

Ds1 wanted one too and liked the switch n go dinos.

For christmas he is getting a lego set, some new kinect games, a transformers set from target, a back pack and snap circuits.

I'm considering a Kindle Fire. I already ordered one for his 8 year old sister. I will set it up and see how I feel about it for a 6 year old.
Things he has asked for are Legos and a lacrosse goal.

I'm debating between an iPad mini and the kindle fire kids edition for my 6 year old. Does anyone recommend one over the other?

Dss has a kindle fire at his mom's, and he really enjoys it.  I know he mostly plays games on it.

We are getting him a Power Train City electric train set(s) and accessories.

ETA: This is the main gift DH and I have talked about. I am sure we will also be getting a lego set or two, books, and John Deere/Tonka/CAT trucks/tractors.
