My sisters son is 4 years old and he has everything. So it doesen't matter what I buy him 'cose he's impressed like five minutes with it. I don't wan't to spend on anything form him anymore because of this, but he's so sweet and always asks so kindly whether I got him something. Any ideas about something impressive on the market for a 4 year olds? Or how to make something so that impresses him even more?

How about story books with lovely illustrations. You could spend some nice times with him on your knee reading to him, and it won't be too long until he can start reading them himself as well.

I agree the best gift is the gift of reading, it will give him so much more than any other toy. It can take him to different lands, cultures and activate his imagination. Great answer michelledarcy.

I' ve tried it allready but it doesen't allways work. We make a lot of constructive stuff together, but bare in mind these new generation don't get of as easily as we did, when there weren't so many things available. Thank for responding and helping.

well i think its not possible that he's having everything with him.there will be definitely somethings that he ever like or wanted..try asking him lovingly wat u like or wat u want...he will tell u surely some or the other thing....bt dont be upset..this is the psychology of every child that he like anything not for so much time....bt child always remembers wat u've given to him...try noticing it...i've experienced it.u'll b happy knowing it.

Can't argue there. I'll be sure to try out every possible way you've described and recomend, hopping something works. If not, I'll just wait 'till he gets older. I trully hope he doesen't get spoiled along the way. Not by me, ofcourse, but by his parrents. at least I'll be the one who teaches him some modesty. With your help, hopefully. Thank you all.

there's a lot of things you can get him. there are books, educational DVD's (that he doesn't have) also there are some good childrens CD's out as well as education video games like the Vsmile, i know that keeps my little boy entertained for about 30min to and hour. and he'll grow with it as well. as he gets older he can play different educational games....last resort...clothes.
