Kcab: Can you give more details about the rocket kit?
My DS8 has been obsessed with making rockets for about 6 months now. He started with building some of the easy snap-together models from the local hobby store, and then progressed to the build-them-yourself from kits. He is now into cutting out his own designs for tail fins from balsa wood and substituting those for the kit tail fins. We launch rockets every few weeks, and I would love to find something for him for xmas. Note: We are using the engines from the hobby store, such as A's, B's and sometimes a few C engines.
Also, does anyone have any strategic board games suggestions for an 8 year old boy who loves strategy and conquest. We gave him Risk for his 8th birthday, and he found it fairly easy. We just received Axis and Allies as a present from a grandmother who likes to dote
, and that was pretty easy too. (although it has inspired a love of WW II history!) Can anyone think of other games that your kids have enjoyed that he might find challenging?
