It must be hereditary as my parents kept our Lego and we still play with it on our occasional get togethers and we are in our 40's

We have a Lego game that might be fun for a bit of nostalgia. It's like Pictionary but you make models with Lego and the other people have to guess what it is. It's called Creationary, it's not my most favourite game but my daughter loves it.

I don't have children, but as a kid, my favourite were Playmobils and barbie. I used to have so much fun making "accessories" for them out of matchboxes and pieces of cardboard, little bits of fabric...Those were the days!

I also loved marbles and what I just learned is called "French skipping", that you play with a long piece of elastic tied in a loop. Endless hours of fun in the school playground!

I'm just no good at it, I get whipped every time My children are at an age where they beat me at everything, which is not good for competitive moi!

Lego here as well, two lads now 15 and 11, both loved the lego.

Outdoors the Cosy Couple, hours of fun for both of them.

thunderbird

Lego

Balls (tennis balls/ footballs/ basketballs) - hours spent throwing/bouncing or kicking them around the garden

Lunar_Eclipse

Whiteboards.

One child is then defined by (in terms of my memory) art supplies and Lego. The other, by Barbies and books/movies. At home, now 11 and 13, one is always reading, the other always drawing.

One has also always loved games, of huge variety.

MoneyMate

Can I do 4?

Lego - from the big duplicate stuff when they were little through to the small stuff (DD2 age 6 is a big lego friends fan)

iPod/DSi - controversial I know! BUT these are so good for entertainment on long journeys! We are traveling to the South of France on holiday again this year and it will be over 12 hours of daytime travel to get there (splitting the journey down, but coming back on one day!)

Paintbrushes - my Girls spend hours painting, they will even spend hours with the paintbrushes and water outside doing water drawings onto the floor!

Another vote for Lego here. My boys age 9 and 7 will spend hours building various models.
