Today I am starting three boys 4, 5, and 9. I was curious if anyone had ideas on what to do with children this age and boy stuff. To me girls are easy dolls, dress up and crafts, any ideas for boys will be greatly appreciated!

My preschool age boys do nothing all summer but play blocks and cars in one version or another. Most popular is the Lego blocks followed by the Hot Wheel or Matchbox cars.

They also like any type of sand table. Just give them cups, spoons, and plastic bugs and they will have fun for hours!

Plastic animals. Mine build elaborate buildings out of Legos for their plastic animals.

This...and trains and tools/construction. My preschool age boys do nothing all summer but play blocks and cars in one version or another. Most popular is the Lego blocks followed by the Hot Wheel or Matchbox cars.
Whenever we're outside the whole yard turns into a construction zone-I have some small orange cones and tools, the rest is other stuff they just turn into construction type materials. (ex. the crawl through tunnel becomes a water pipe) The boys I have this summer are the best players I've ever had-I LOVE watching them use their imagination!
