Barbie, Polly Pocket, etc. I also have Duplo, cars/garage, train set, food/kitchen, loads of craft stuff, books, puzzles etc but he is obsessed with technology! Usually his first question on arrival is "Where your phone?". His mum lets him play on her Iphone and there have been many tantrums over her having to take it off him! He would quite happily spend all day with mine, listening to music. He goes to pre-school 2 days and when I asked mum how he was getting on (been going since Jan) she had been told that he hadn't made any friends and didn't play with any of the other children! He can be an odd little boy but is very affectionate. He develops obsessions with things, at the moment it's fire extinguishers! He is also very bright!
I am after suggestions for ways to keep him occupied and stop him getting bored. He likes repetition. Mum struggles too, she says he will ask for an activity, but when she does it he says no! Some mornings she drops him off and says "Good luck!". He's been with me for nearly 3 years so nothing surprises me any more! Any suggestions gratefully received.
