If it is some sort of kids tv or movie music, he'll probably like it. Books on tape/CD are great too. PC learning software would be good too. Or games for his Game Boy Color. He really wants some of those smooth, shiny, colorful rocks like they sell at souvenier stores. He also requests a yellow digger (any construction vehicles any size). He likes hotwheels and airplanes and trains too. He has a leappad plus writing. Pool toys or sandbox toys would be great too. He would like crocs too, size 12/13.

I have never done a swap like this and would like to play!

I have a 7 1/2 year old. He is into;

Bionicles
Ninja stuff - dress up and "accessories"
Cowboy stuff (for the moment!) ditto above
Nature stuff - camo clothes - he wears size 8-10
Ben 10 and
Pokemon

Dragonology
Pink Panther DVDS (we have one)
Wallace and Grommit dvds (we have one)

He likes books - reads on 3-4 A.R. level at school, has finished all the Magic Tree House books so not those, but maybe something like them ... he might like the Hardy boys, not sure,he has never tried them ... not sure if they are too old for him.

He could use some new board games, ages 8 and up. He has Clue

thanks!

take care all!

good luck Jeni! looks like you have your work cut out for you !!!!

Just another bump. Remember to send my your picks tomorrow. :)

Jeni

Please send as many possible choices as you can. I can tell already it's going to be hard to match people up.

If you are not able to send to Canada, please let me know now.

thanks,
Jeni

I'll give it a shot..

Elijah is 4 and is autistic..
He loves music, oobi, sensory toys (but need to be gluten free)
He is really into trucks these days.


What kind of music things? Like cd's, or instruments?
Is oobi a tv show?
What are sensory toys? I mean, could you give several examples of things he would like?
What type/size trucks?

Hi :D Music things..small instruments, or cds are always great. He loves classical but we have tons..he loves laurie berkner..we only have the dinosaurs one by her. Any kids music is good.
Sensory type toys..things that give you a sensing experience, like music (hearing), like playdough (tactile), etc. Textured things are great. Play-Doh (the brand) is not gluten free so not that..but there are brands that are. I would need to look that up. He loves stuffed toys that have a textural feel to them..like "fwuffy" sheep, or woolie ones, etc.
Trucks..any kind! He has a really big one, but he loves small ones, too.

Oobi is a tv show on Noggin. There is almost NO merchandise for it, but I think someone on hyena cart sells oobi eyes very cheap. Oobi is a hand with eyes, basically.

I hope that helps! Eli will just be thrilled to receive something that is just for him these days..he is frustrated by having to share a lot.

My Choices:
Annb for Morgan
Barb for Roman
mamaxt for Dylan

Cool! I can do that! Jeni lmk what to do! Never have done a swap before!

Just glad this stuff will go somewhere to be used and enjoyed!

By the way, as they say in the 'vernacular', I am "just below you" in the panhandle of Florida! :-)

I dropped our laptop on the floor yesterday and it's dead. :( So, I couldn't get online until this afternoon. Sorry about that. I'm using someone else's computer now, but we should have our PC up and running soon (and our laptop, too...I broke off the power adapter.)

Here are the matches. I couldn't give everyone their first choices, but I managed to match everyone up. (It was harder than I thought it would be--kind of fun puzzle solving, though. :) )

Thrillhouse sends to Tmrhopkins's Willard
AnnB sends to JeniLyn's Alex
JeniLyn sends to Megmama
Tmrhopkins sends to AnnB
Tmrhopkins sends to Momof2peewees

Thanks!
