I have twin 5yos and a 6yo girls.
AG dolls with Target OG accessories, new scooters, headphones, travel backpacks/neck pillows.
Oldest wants a camera (any suggestions) Twins want lacrosse sticks
They currently have Amazon fire tablets but I was considering a switch lite (we have a family regular switch that MH and I mostly use) for my oldest or possibly an iPod touch. Reading this thread makes me think we go with the switch lite.

Me, too. I just ordered the new mini Disney lego castle. DD doesn't even know it exists (yet) so she will be pumped!

please help with my boys - they'll be 6 and 4
i have tried Legos and the oldest one can't get into them and the younger one kinda wants to try but needs a lot of help.
they both love playing baseball/kickball. in the winter we have multiple basketball hoops throughout our house. otherwise they play freaking wrestle and tackle for as long as i'll let them (not long!).
6 is in K, 4 will be in K next year.

My son is almost four and loves the nugget for jumping and crashing and fort building. We also have like 4 different indoor bowling sets that we use a lot during the winter. i thought about the stupid* nugget couch for wrestling and forts. presumably i could at least start with one of these monstrosities? *stupid bc i don't totally get it and i'm just listening to people talk about them. also love the bowling idea, thank you. our local alley is SO EXPENSIVE

We have this (3 sections) and my kids love it. It is fast! If you get it, you will need a pad at the bottom of the stairs, we use a gymnastics mat.

The stair slide is so cool. I kind of want that for my almost 11 year old. Where was that and the nugget about 6 years ago?

Is 3 what you would recommend for your average staircase? i think it tells you what you'd want - like, each section covers a certain amount of stairs, which helps me since mine have a landing with a 180 degree turn in the middle.

Is 3 what you would recommend for your average staircase? It’s on half of a staircase for us. I can’t imagine going longer though even with a straight set of stairs. 2-3 seems to be a good length.

I'm thinking about laser tag for my 9 year old DS, thanks to hawkward's rave reviews and the fact that he played nerf with a friend last weekend and got shot in the face (twice) and I'm still picking up darts from my yard.

My 4 and 6 year olds love their nugget, indoor swing, rebounder, spinny egg chairs from ikea, and stepping stones. To build with they love kid k'nex, magnatiles, brain flakes, plus plus, squigz. We're going to introduce regular k'nex soon. They are also getting a grapat lola set that I think they will enjoy playing with with the various building sets as well as in sensory bins with dry materials because weirdly they are more into sensory bins than they ever were when they were younger.

If anyone is looking for board game ideas for littles, my 4 and 6yo love this game. It’s easy enough that they can play on their own now that I helped them a few times and it’s collaborative so less whining about winning/losing. Gamewright Outfoxed! A Cooperative Whodunit Board Game for Kids 5+, Multi-colored, Standard, Model Number: 418 www.amazon.com/dp/B00UB7P0XY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5VCTDQ611E8D0X90Y2FRYes!!! Our whole family loves this game

I am at a completely loss (DS is 6) BUT I brought him to my brothers the other day and he and his cousins (age 6-9) alll were going crazy over the little tykes big waffle blocks. They were building chairs and other structures to sit on and having a blast. They spent the WHOLE time I was there doing this. So that’s on his list at least.

So DD is 10. She has a bike but I was thinking of a scooter for her. Or something similar. Any suggestions on what to look for?

The wheels are a bit bigger and it maneuvers easier. Seems more sturdy. All the kids in the neighborhood have them and I would definitely recommend.

They get lots of use. I looked at these last year, but I waited too long to pull the trigger. My kids all have winter birthdays and will be 13, 11, nine, and seven. I was thinking of going for the drifter pro? What do you have, if you know.? Drifter Pro would be perfect for the older kids, but not sure if it’s too big for the younger kids.
