[blparent] Gift Suggestions for an 8-year-old?

[Eva Adams]

Hey Allison,
For two of my nephews that are 10 and 11 I bought them the k'nex set from 
walmart. They are building sets that use magnetic balls I guess. They have 
some that were only $7 that were cars. If you get all four cars I guess they 
can be made into a monster truck. I got one of those, and than the 1000 
piece set that was on sale for $24.
