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

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

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
