Gift ideas

I agree!

Mine love card games like cheat, or uno, also Frustration is a great favourite,cluedo, game of life, all good fun.

My little DGS like board games - junior Monopoly, Cluedo, etc. The ones they have are based on who ate a cake and paying for themed children’s parties, rather than murders and property. I’m all for encouraging them to play traditional games before the Nintendos take over!

If you have a shop called the Works, pop in there, they have lots of lovely arty gifts.

Sorry that was for Marydoll. Thanks for the other ideas people!

Thanks! Unfortunately I gave her very similar arty pack last year!

We often have a look at this company.

While out shopping with my nine year old granddaughters I bought them both a book in Waterstones, I think was called a drawing a day for a year, where they are helped to draw things in stages. When we got home the five year old wanted a go, which he wasn’t allowed, so I bought him one as well, thinking it was probably a bit old for him, but he spent hours and hours with it, and did it really well, money well spent.

It was my DGD's fourth birthday the other day. Knowing that she would be absolutely spoiled by everyone, I decided to put some cash in her ISA for the future and make up a parcel of drawing materials, so that she would have someone tangible.
The parcel included, a huge drawing pad, poster paints, crayons, scented pens, colouring pencils, googly eyes, mini pom poms and her favourite part, glitter glue pens.
I bought everything in pound shops.
She was squealing with delight, when she opened her parcel.
