  1. a VERY large cardboard box, a chair, a small blanket or towel, and some small pans. it will take them ALL day to decide how to fix their fort! lol......


  2. my son has been playing for an hour and a half with a huge box of lego. i am in the same room as him, on the computer...

    i will have to disturb him soon to get him dressed!

    he will play on a big blanket with all the lego for hours if i let him.

  3. Kids K-Nex are great. Markers & paper, watching a kid video, building a fort out of pillows and blankets, legos, action figures, disney website, books there are many things my son loves building Good luck

  4. Let him get bored and play and think and use his imagination.

  5. My son is 5yrs. old and he likes to play with:

    Legos

    Trucks

    Dinosaurs

    colors and a coloring book (have him practice writing his name or writing his numbers)

    Watch a movie

    Books

    Those are some things I use to entertain my son so I can finish some house work or to put his baby sister down for a nap.  I hope that helps.

  6. coloring, playing with toys, reading books, my daughter is almost 4 and likes fisher price games online.  They are easy enough for her and my 6 yr old step son to both play.  Movies, helping with housework...Constant changing of things to do.  my daughter is 4 and her attention span is very short.  I am constantly trying to find her something to do.  Very tiring.

  7. 5 year olds shouldnt be left alone...

    but if u mean just alone as in quiet time while u read or finish some work theres:

    coloring, and reading, simple art projects that u plan out for them beforehand

  8. Puzzles

    Legos

    Wooden Blocks

    I work at a Preschool and the boys can play with those things all day and never get tired of them.

  9. Video game for children that teaches Math or spelling skills.Something entertaining so he will learn and will be fun.
