Suggestions for gifts for kids!

Hexbugs at Chapters! I don't know if they are any other sites/stores that sell them, but I stumbled upon this while I was doing some online shopping, and noticed that there are 5 different types of Hexbugs. They are the CUTEST little things, they respond to sound and interaction, like clapping, snapping your fingers, and with each other I believe. I purchased 4 to give to my little cousins (which are all in the same family) and luckily, they will also get their favorite colors, and get something they don't have to FIGHT over. They'll each get one, and can play nicely (yeah right! ). Another reason I thought these would be great little gifts, is because the youngest is having a little trouble in school, preschool, so the basic problem of hand eye coordination, as well as being lazy, and when I say this, I mean, "I want to watch YOU do it.", "Not fully participating in exercises and activities" is a response we got on his last report card. SO, I'm trying to help to change that to make it fun, and to also encourage the other kids to involve him in play time, and to "properly" teach him to do things on his own...and hopefully they don't keep falling for the, "I'll just watch you do it." then sit back and watch. Tsk tsk, SUCH a lazy boy! I hope this helped for gift ideas for little ones!

I have never heard of these Hexbugs but they sound really good fun ,especially with the lazy one, little monkeys I bet he cute,leave the sweet bowl up the other end of the room and he will soon move.or hide sweets in the garden when he sees the others coming in with them,he will not want to miss out.Sounds a bright little boy why bother when there is someone else to do it.

haha, too true! And we don't leave sweets around the house in the open because his older brother has a nut allergy, as well as ADHD. Hrm, I wonder if we get the sugar free treats available....naw, that would still make them lose their appetite around super too conveniently. lol Thanks for responding!
