I have no idea what to get ds for Christmas

I think I say that EVERY year! DD is so easy...the hard part is narrowing it down to just a few things. I'm hoping to make each of them a teepee...they will both like that. I need some ideas on ds 9 yrs old. He is so harad on toys! He doesn't play with toys typical 9 yr olds do. He wants a cello, a clarinet, a trumpet...not happening. Well unless I can find an old one at a pawn shop. He got a guitar for his birthday in Oct (his 4th guitar?) and hopefully in Jan we will start lessons.

Anyone have any ideas?? I'll get him some more cds but I need some toys. We might be getting a wii from santa so even som suggestions for a simple game that could keep his attention would be good.

Go to Kodak.com
You can make some cool books with your own pictures.
If he likes looking at pics, he will enjoy his own book ( of himself !)

Moon shoes ?
make your own stepping stone ?
twister ?

I'm having a hard time thinking what I should get F, too.

B this morning at walmart I saw moon shoes! (before reading this) I may get some. I think we are getting a wii (if we can find one this late ) and a fine friend here suggested guitar hero. In walmart we saw the drum set that goes with it too...hopefully we will be able to get it this weekend. That plus some small things should be enough.

On second thought, your ds on moon shoes could mean trouble ! Keep those windows locked for sure !

No. I can't find one with 4 wheels big enough for him. His balance/coordination is not good enough for a 2 or 3 wheel scooter.

OH and I CAN'T FIND A WII!!!!
