What toys of this age are wee ones playing with these days? Is lego still interesting enough for a 6 year old?

Lego isn't German is it? I'm not sure but i think parts of boldie's philosiphy on parenting come straight out of: "The Third Riechs guide to happy parenting" chapter 1 starts off by explaing how no one in Germany can afford to go to lapland cos the jews have taken all the money. |

5&6 YO boys here. Lego, certainly. Depends on the lad somewhat. There's some great stuff for all age ranges. Upper end of that age range should be able to manage some of the motorised/technical stuff with a little help.
K'Nex is also excellent. You can make some really impressive structures, and it's a lot easier to break down and build up again than Lego. And for the same price as a mid-size Lego set that generally builds one or two models, you can get a K'Nex set that has instructions for 40.

K'Nex is indeed excellent. Two girls and a boy in the middle here, and although I started buying it for my son when he was 8, all 3 of them fight over it (my 15 yr old daughter still builds some very impressive stuff).
Go for the biggest set you can afford (Toys R' Us usually has great deals on K'Nex) and it will keep him happy/busy/quiet for endless hours.
Magnetix is also good, but works out extremely expensive to build up a decent amount to play with. |
