is superb. I was playing it with my neice (who is 4) a couple of weekends back. As the reviews say, the butterflies do sometimes get stuck, but a quicky tap of the trunk soon gets them flowing again.

Firm believer in kids love basic stuff. Don't waste your money on expensive toys (except your own expensive toy) as it's not recognised or valued. The best toys are things that last forever and keep them occupied for ages. Lego is always terrific, train sets, etc. Or clothes. Or take him to have a cool haircut.

Something remote control? Obviously nothing too technical, they have little cars and suchlike for that age range I believe. My little brother used to love that stuff, would keep him busy for hours hehe

Yep, simple is good.

I'm a little over 4, & I've never had a cool haircut - I didn't even know that such a thing was possible?

Yep, 25 quid later, I looked cool... poorer too. Then I put my lid on and ruined it. lol.

Kev. Isn't it obvious? By purchasing a set of carbon wheels for the CBR you will give him endless enjoyment as a pillion with the exceptional flickability and low rotating mass it gives you. Do it, do it for him. Life is nothing without sacrifices!

My boy (coming up 5) has been into cars and bikes since he started. He is very easy to buy for. So long as it has wheels he's happy.

Last year he got a wooden garage and a load of toy cars.

He got a remote controlled dumper truck lots of sound effects and stuff. He got a radio controlled mini and stunt motorbike that could do better wheelies than I can.

Apart from the garage (which was damn expensive for something that looked so cheap) all the items were around the £10 mark. He still plays with all the above a year on.

awwwwwwwww dont want to wish away the time but im really looking forward to when my wee lad is this sort of age.

how about a scalectrix?...the bike ones...can build it up over time, add chicanes etc....may need a loft conversion at some point tho!!!...im 28 and id like one still.....
