Present for 6 year old - likes soldiers and tanks, mummies, natural world,

Counting_Pennies_2

As the title suggests I am looking for a present for 6 year old who likes soldiers and tanks, mummies and the natural world.

I am limited in terms of mobility and can manage supermarkets, argos, toysrus and of course on line.

I have looked on the websites for John Lewis, Argos and Toys R Us and not getting anything.

Any ideas on what I can get, I have about £15

Many thanks

Hi, my 7 yr old has something similar to this from Argos, and there's a special offer of free aircraft with it, which is good value too. You can have this delivered, or reserved instore for pickup.

Hawkins Bazaar (online) - it is one of the most amazing stores you will ever come across. It has stuff like (fake) dinosaur eggs to excavate, making volcanos kits, meccano style stuff - honestly, it has all sorts AND its on quidco. And the prices on there are really reasonable.

I have bought so much stuff from there over the years, their service has been brilliant and they are ideal for the hard to buy for. They are also pretty inexpensive, doing loads of stuff for under a fiver.

https://www.hawkin.com if you don't go through quidco.

I've just checked - how about worm farm in a bag at £4.50? Or a crystal growing set £3.99? The create a volcano kit is £4.99. Okay, you have to pay postage, but there may be a shop near you.

I wish I was on commission - you wouldn't believe how many people I have recommended to visit.

I saw a Moon in Borders... it was a light up actual Moon which you could put in your room and it would glow like the Moon and show the different phases.

It sounds tacky from the description, I suppose it may be a little old for a 6 yr old but it looked like a cool toy!

Very natural world!
