[quote=Anonymous]It's safe to say all of these posters have kids under 3.  Imaginext is great plastic crap.  No lights or sounds...but it is like the old school wooden Fisher price (only not as quality since it is plastic).  My 3 year old can play for hours with their Samurai and Superhero line.  He is constantly having battles and fighting battles...sometimes the dinosaurs get in on the action.

I don't say 'never' to anything.  I've been burned to many times and my oldest is only 6.  Trust me--kids will make you eat your words.

We have loads of puzzles, crafts stuff---but my kids do play the longest with the passive type toys.  Older one is very into Legos.  I get a bunch of the buckets of plain blocks, an order of wheels spokes, figurines and a few of the star wars.  He makes the coolest things.  They will sometime enter into battle with younger ones Imaginext stuff.

6 year old just starting begging for a Wii this week.  I have been putting it off forever.  I don't care if he plays at somebody else's house.  I just don't want to constantly be having the battle about when he gets to play and the time limit.  He is the type that gets sucked into computer games very easily.  We have strict time limits on the use of our ipad.

My kids never got into something like GeoTraxx...we used to just have the wooden tracks and lots of trains and we'd build tons of different configurations of tracts across the floor and around the house.  I liked the train table less because it wasn't as fluid.  [/quote]
