Toys for kids aged 4 & 7?

mrs.v

What are some good fun stimulating toys for two 4 yr olds and a 7 year old? Something imaginative, that could be used in a variety of ways, preferably something imagination not battery powered. :D I nanny for 3 kids in my home and they're getting bored with the toys after 3 weeks! Inside or outside toy suggestions wanted :D
We have a good schedule going, it DOES include free play though-- kids need that. I already have driveway paint, chalks, swimming pool, water guns.
and inside the major toys include wooden blocks, big plastic legos, and 2 my size puzzles. We also have some play food, baby dolls, story books, lacers, dinos, and jungle animals. I don't know I need something new.

What do your kids absolutely LOVE to play with??

Answer
kinex or legos. and im saying this because you watch the kids. but do not get the toys that attach with a small magnet because kids can swallow. but with the legos have the kids all work together and you help into making a big structure and everyday you keep working on it. oh yeah and make a big rice bin full of raw rice and put cars and action figures. oh yeah and shaving cream is so much fun! and then they take a nap drink juice pee in there pants i dunno know.

Kids and toys?

mrjts

I have one daughter age of 7 and one step-son he is 10 and they both are always fighting over toys. how can I teach them to share?

Answer
1.Tell them about the poor kids who wish they had these toys!
2.Let them play with the toys at different times!
3.Take their toys away until they learn to share!
4.Show them how it feels when someone refuses to share with them
Example:Go buy something like a toy that both of them wants and say it yours and when they ask to play with it you say so you want me to share?( Then they are suppose to say yes)(they may not but if they do)!You say no im not sharing my toy! Then if they ask why then say becasue you guys dont know how to share! Then ask them how they felt when you said that you are not sharing your toy! Then say well thats how each of yall feel when yall dont share you make a person sad because ou wont share!If this doesnt work sorry with my kids it did!

What are some good toys for Autistic boys ages 4.?

Q. I have a nephew and we are trying to get some toys for Christmas or just any time of the year for him. He really likes to throw things so I suggest soft balls or blocks. I want something more that can simulate his mind. He is four years old and hasn't spoke yet, he is more on a level of a two year old. Plus he is very ACTIVE and LOVES WATER or anything to do with pouring studd out. Please give me your suggestions!!! Thanks! =)

Answer
Hi,

Things to consider when choosing toys for boys or girls with autism.

Special Interest:

When choosing toys for autistic children think about what they like. Many autistic kids have a deep interest in a special subject. Does the child you are shopping for have an interest in a particular subject? If so look at gifts in these areas. If the child is interested in dinosaurs, cars, or planes then look at toys or books related to this area. However, if this is a highly specialized area you may want to keep an eye out for these types of items all year long as they can be difficult to find around Christmas.

Developmental Ability:

When choosing toys for children with autism think about their developmental ability rather than their age. Some children may be in grade school, yet their developmental age may be closer to preschool.

Here's a website designated by therapists for toys for children with autism. These toys simply helps them cope with sensory issues because these are sensory toys. This is a VERY excellent website. Here's the website: http://www.toysforautism.com/

Good luck with everything! I wish you the best. :)

Summer ideas for kids ages 2, 4 & 5?

Tasha

Okay my step kids have been out of school for 2 weeks and they already getting bored. In turn they are becoming hard to control, which is putting me on the hard to live with side. Their dad just got a new job where he goes out of town (truck driving) & that means me and the kids have lots of time together. I try to play school with them, take them outside and play soccer, play with the dogs, you name it I've done it. They are getting tired of it all and I'm trying to do something to get them to chill. I have house work to do, school things, and getting the youngest (who usually lives with the mother) on some days who is 2. The kids are either bored, fighting, or constantly bugging me where I can't get anything done. Help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. This is my first summer alone with them. Sometimes they do get to go to the lake, splash pad, the park, and movies. but I need day to day things not big things.

Answer
Depending on your kids and what there interests are i'll tell you what mine like! arts and crafts are always really good things to do! let them paint outside, play with playdough, or just color! We have theme weeks, where 1 week we pick a theme and learn/play lets say its "medival theme week" have them make paper swords one day...build a cardboard fortress one day...make paper crowns one day...and let them watch a movie/cartoon about nights! maybe do a sports theme week..different games every day! maybe have them "help with house work?" most parents think its easier to not let them help, but you should have a little fun chore list, and give them stickers on every "chore completed" and take away stickers for attitude problems...lol....and then if they earn enough they can pick out a toy at the end of the week, or go somewhere fun? hope this helps!

What is a suitable age for a child to begin watching movies in 3D?

AGoodGuy

I want to take my kids to watch Toy Story 3 and I'm considering to go to the 3D version, but they are aged 4 and 5 respectively. Are their bodies (eyes and head size) ready to cope with this technology? Does anyone here have any experience in taking their young kids to watch a film in 3D?

Answer
I took little Emmys (3 years old) to see Toy Story 3 in 3D. She absolutely loved it! It doesn't have that many cool 3D effects though.
