SCHOOL1 (boy now 7, girl now nearly 9 )

Lego, gets used all the time. Sets get built properly kept and played with for a while then go into the general lego pool for creative play

Physical books (Beastquest series for the boy, Roald Dahl, Harry Potter)

Android Tablets, they've had for a year and held up well, used regularly, too regularly. They don't have any other technology and use maybe 1hr a day. I was programming my vic 20 at 6/7 and taking apart electronics.

Craft stuff, paper glue, coloured pencils, paints etc gets used every day

Old skool board games: Monopoly, Draughts, Chess, Snakes and Ladders get used a lot.
