One of them is to search for isometric grids on the internet and print them out for him, or print one and copy. The kinds with just the dots, offset every other row are the best.
So, basically just let him be creative with graph or dot paper? Or give him stuff to copy? Any particular images/ websites you recommend as a starting place? I'm always impressed with how much he can remember visually- one day in church I sketched out a sphere by drawing all 3 central planes in a cube (I learned it from a "truncated sphere" art lesson years ago) He repeated about 3/4 of the steps just from watching me do it. Non-verbal directions, cause we were keeping the boys quiet through the sermon.
I will check out the iPad app. I've been trying to get my husband to allow more time on educational apps for our boys- he thinks they are too young to be responsible. However, now that we have some data to back up the unusual abilities of our DS, he might be a little more open to the idea. I checked out the research project- not sure if anything will spark with a 6YO, but who knows- sometimes I think they are better at stuff because they have more creative freedom due to inexperience when looking at puzzles.
