Again, I would recommend visiting Melissa's Discovery Toys site. I'm not
getting anything out of saying this except that I hope you might find some
of the games as good for you and your boyfriend's son as I have for me and
my stepson. There are a lot of interactive maze type games for school age
children, as well as mosaic building kits and tracks that you can customize
and roll marbles down. There seems to be an emphasis on the site of parents
and children playing together, so I think it might be a good place for you
to start. Take care. For you and
