I have mostly boys here and 2 girls (one is 2 and one is 6). I have a lot of little people sets that get rotated in and out. I have a carnival, a castle, a farm, Noah's Ark, "the city" (cars, parking ramp, air planes...). Those are gender neutral but the boys love them. I also have Lincoln logs (and/or the knock off version) in a huge tub. The boys also like playing dress up (pirates, construction, Davy Crocket/explorer.) Of course some times I'll find them with the girl dress up stuff the jewelry, purses and such. I have a few boys that have seen bits and pieces of "The Lord of the Rings" so of course the jewelry is turned into "the ring of power". The purses are usually full of cars and other boyish things.

They like to color and do art projects.

Over all though, their favorite is to go out side, run around and scream at the top of their lungs. I live in the country and nearest neighbor is 1/4 mile away, so I don't mind them screaming and yelling outside.

Oh, and bubbles are a big hit too, or anything really to do with water.
