My older son goes to school and I know it can sometimes be quite tricky to buy for this age group. Kids this age generally want toys that are battery operated like gaming consoles. Don't get me wrong, my boys enjoy playing with these types of toys, but when I do my Christmas shopping, I try and get a good balance of toys:
* active toys (e.g. scooters, footballs, frisbees etc),
* possibly a game for their gaming console,
* practical items (e.g. a new backpack, doona cover)
* board games
* educational toys and games.
Lots of parents have also asked us for some suggestions of what to buy their school aged kids, so we thought we would give you our Top Four Christmas Gift ideas for this age group (pictures above):
From left to right:
IQ Splash $19.99

Road Block $32.99
* The baddies in the red car are trying to escape our city, as the police, can your ickle ones block them in so the robber can't get out?

Trust me, lots of adults (customers, friends, family and myself) have played with these educational games and have struggled with them too! It really is that challenging and that's why we've always said our games aren't necessarily for children up to a certain age - adults love them too!
We hope this has given you a few ideas of what to get school aged kids!
Happy Christmas shopping!
