I need more ideas for DS's wishlist, thanks! Oh, outdoor toys could be OK, too.

We love games!

My DS6 likes Pitch Car, Chicken Cha Cha Cha, and Looping Louie.

We are big fans of the Family Pastime games for that age. We love Funny Face, Princess, and Max: http://www.amazon.com/Cooperative-Discussion-Logic-Rescue-Princess/dp/B00000IUF8/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1354071932&sr=1-2&keywords=family+pastimes+games

I see Amazon is charging more for the holidays. :(. They usually stay around $10.

We love these games because everyone works as a team instead of against each other. So, either we all win or no one wins. No one has hurt feelings that way (I get so tired of my kids fighting "but mom, I wanna win!"). I also love that they are flexible and allow for the kids to be creative. Plus, they don't last for more than 15 minutes. The Family Pastime website looks like it has a bunch of new ones to choose from. Fun!
