Present for a boy aged 4-5 ?

Question

My daughter has been invited to a party after being at school for 2 weeks !! we havent got many boys in the family and they are older any ideas ??

Answer 1

My son recently had the Doodle Doug from early learning centre he loves it, then he insisted we bought it for his friends birthday a week later his friend loved it. £13 and worth every penny. Either that there are spy kids toys in woolworths, 1 of them is a pair of glasses with its own little camara attached to it that is really easy to use and great fun with us adults to. Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Lego! The packages are all labeled as to the ages for which the particular kit is appropriate; by 4 or 5 he's old enough not to stick the pegs up his nose (go ahead and laugh, my son did this with a peg from the game "Battleship" when he was two...)

Best of all, Legos are endlessly entertaining and grow with the child. At age 5 they can put together simple projects (using the beautifully illustrated instructions in the box), then take them apart and make new things; at age 7 they can build more complex things and keep adding new pieces; at age 10, my son's next birthday, they're ready for the intricate machines you can construct; and in early teens they can do the Lego NXT robotics kits.

We love Lego. If you don't have a Lego store near you, the kits are available at all kinds of department and toy stores, or you can browse the Web...

Answer 3

My boys were always into the character figures of the latest released film, in this case i think "cars " would be the most recent! also arts and crafts or lego, puzzles, magic sets, perhaps you can find out what they are studying at school, for example romans! and get a book on that, boys usually love the school topics! boys are often into learning about space and castles at this age! no guns or swords! I would have gone mad if someone bought my sons that sort of present! Thomas the tank, fireman sam, postman pat are all well loved! Mind you he could be into the power rangers too!

Answer 4

If you can talk to this boys parents an find out how they feel about certain toys IE toy guns swords excetra just to be sure you don't get any thing he is not aloud to play with{ I my self have 2 boys and do not like them to have toy guns that look real} If you can not speak with them before hand here a a few time tested stand byes Remote control cars, you can find them fairly cheep at wal_mart, Dinky cars,Lego, if all else fails there is always the gift card, not very personal I know but this allows the boy to get what he wants and you are sure not to waste money on something the parents won't let him have. happy shopping.

Answer 5

Play Doh and cars/trucks are a major hit at this age range!
Haveing three boys aged 11, 8 and 3 now... I can honestly say from the 3-6 yrs age range arts'n'crafts are a HUGE hit! Anything from stickers and paper to play doh and popsicle sticks!
But never hesitate to call the parent - i always call and confirm the date and time and then ask if there is anything particular the child would like - if they say nothing - i tell them what i am thinking and get there response. Hope your daughtor has a grand time!

Answer 6

What is your price range? Art supplies are always great! If you go with the new color wonder stuff from crayola, you can even get finger paints that a parent won't hate you for. They are clear so no mess but on special paper they show up different colors. My son also received this gift box that contained shaving cream and a plastic razor that allows him to shave like dad. Crayola also has these cool color tabs that you can put in the bathtub that change the water colors but not your tub or kid. My son loved them too. HTH.

Answer 7

Most boys of that age will love anything to do with cars and balls. Also knights and horses.

Match Box type cars have always been a hit with my son - and the parents will be happy because they aren't too big and can be taken on trips. Supermarkets outings are so much easier with sometime to distract!!

If you're really desperate - books are always good. Ask his mum if he has a favourite interest.

Answer 8

The last time I bought a big box of lego containing a variety of bigger blocks. Maybe not to exciting at the first time, but the day after he will be more then happy with it.

Answer 9

Set a price of about ten pounds, pop down to woolworths and check out action figures. Young lads love that kinda thing.

Answer 10

Something differant would be a cool torch with differant features like flashing or orange and red lights. I guarantee he will play with it every night. Dont forget some batteries though
