Best play value?

As the van is off getting her "new coat"

I can only dream of when we will be next off in her.
I had to unpack her (very interesting and slightly scary

) and found the box of toys for our five year old. She is a very active and so these are only for really bad weather or inforced "calming down" time

Favourites are: paper and paints, magnetix and those bendy straws and plastic bits thing and snakes and ladders.
Any suggestions for a new selection box this summer
Cheers

Our four yr old loves to help clean the van
also very keen on using the socket set!

mininuts jnr (Dan) loves travel games like Scrabble, Connect 4, Who's Who and even Monopoly. I think it's the fact they're all miniature in size, they keep us all happy for ages. He is a bit older at 7 though.
Also got him a Nintendo DS for xmas, best £100 I've spent in a long time as he can use it whilst travelling in the van. No more "are we there yet?"

Mancala is a favourite with our two.
When we first took Jess in the tent we bought a biscuit tin sized box of games for when it rains gawd knows how many games are actually in it, it hasn't been opened yet!!!!

Ah - thank you ruby - We were talking about that last weekend, but couldn't remember the name!
If only we could find a solution to the "are we there yet" - can't use things like nitendo etc because of travel sickeness. Pub sign cricket is a favourite and pretty good- no good on the motorway though!

There is only ONE choice....!
'Pass The Pigs'
fantastic, but a bugger to play when you are moving!

good choice
