Have four grandchildren. Ages (little over) 1 year; (almost) 3; almost 5 and almost 7. My seven year old grandson is very creative. Give him some play-dough and it's amazing the things he makes; along with the use of colors. Definitely a gifted child. Takes after me - no doubt. ")
Thought about getting him a 3D Pen. But they are similar to Hot Melt Glue guns. And they're probably rated for children a little older. Well, he's ahead of his class in just about everything, so I don't think this is a terrible idea, but I am concerned about the other children getting their hands on it and then getting burned. DEFINITELY don't want that.
I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, suggestions that may be similar in nature, making stuff and such, but without the use of hot plastics. He has TONS of Lego's, other magnetic construction sets and snap-together things. What he makes with them is also impressive. His younger brother is also creative, but not on his level. I'm probably going to stick with more traditional gifts for the younger three. I'm primarily focused on the oldest and his level of creativity. Sculpting is one thing he's shown a lot of talent for.
Any ideas?
