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.

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

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

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.

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.
