- Some ski gear

- Metal detector

- Climbing harness & slings etc (small climbing frame in the grander they like to attach to and just kinda swing about)

- Magnatiles - both have loved these, one of the most used toys and reasonably open-ended

- Diablo - the circus toy thing

- Modu - https://modutoy.com

- Potions kit - just a bunch of small pots etc with random glitter and what not in them. pretty good one for an upcycling project

- Playdough - classic for a reason, also DIY'able Little printer roll instant print camera

(edit formatting)



Third on the magna tiles being a huge win for all my kids.

The metal detector is a good idea. We live by the beach, so doubly so.


Our Magna tiles get so much use. I should really buy the kids some more.

And that Modu stuff looks so cool, I’ve never seen that before.
