    Default Boys toys?

    I now have a couple of older boys attending but I'm struggling to find resources/toys for them. I have Lego, games such as frustration/connect4 etc, drawing resources (they're not rally into crafts) and the wii. Any other ideas?

    My older boys enjoy knex and the geomag construction.

    They made themselves a ' blow football ' game out of a huge box.

    Mainly they life to be outside kicking a football around or playing basketball.

    I have 2 boys at the moment, P2 and P6 and all they want to do at the moment is use Hama beads to make mario and similar! They search for 'xxxxx' pixel art or minecraft on the tablet and copy the pictures.

    Card games? We like Ratuki, argh!, bohnanza,My boy loves top trumps. Or what about a marble run (assuming you can keep away from ooh-what's-that-I-think-I'll-put-it-in-my-mouth LOs!)
