my oldest just turned 7 a few days before Christmas...and Legos were high on his wish list!!! Legos star wars, legos city, legos agents, lego pirates...all were big hits!! I also got him a leapfrog Didj. It is a hanheld gaming system (star wars games, indiana jones, etc)...BUT you can actually link it to your PC and download his spelling words for the week, or math problems....and he will need to "solve them" before going to the next level. You can also track his progres online. Makes studing for his weekly spelling test a little easier :)
