Birthday Present Advice--6 Y.O. Boy

[huskerlaw]

It's that time of year again...time to find the perfect toy for a child who likes practically nothing. Ok, not nothing. When I asked for suggestions he said: a bike, farm stuff, army stuff. I have many nieces/nephews, so I try to keep it to $20 per kid...the bike is out of the question. I looked for farm stuff, but can't find anything age appropriate (and I'm not sure what he meant anyway). I simply refuse to buy army stuff, for obvious reasons.

A little background, his parents are relgious fundies. Translation: They love * and are very picky about what their kids can play with/watch/listen to (although army guys w/ AK-47s is perfectly acceptable). He is turning 6. He hates to read, hates to draw (basically anything that makes him sit still). I'm not entirely certain what he *does* like.

Any suggestions?

2. Uh... ball? "Foot""ball", baseball, basketball? (nt)

7. He pretty much has all of the "balls"

LOL, that just sounds bad. Anyway, you know what I mean. Thanks for the suggestion though.

3. Maybe you could go to one of those farm stores like

Quality Farm and Fleet and buy him a toy tractor or something like that. They usually have stuff for kids in there. If there isn't one in your city look online?

5. I'll look into that

so far I've only tried ToysRUs. Thanks!

4. Dinosaur models

Retired kdg. teacher, would I steer you wrong?

6. That was definitely

on my very short list of alternatives. I'll move it up to the top. Thanks.

by his NRA-loving, hunter/fisher grandfather. Thanks, though!
