Tip from one grandpa to other grandparents
My grandkids have the magnetiles like many other kids and they are expensive. I came up with an idea that was way less money and just as entertaining. I got a stick of 3/4" PVC and cut it into 4 and 6" lengths. I sanded the edges to remove the sharp parts and gave them to the grandkids along with a bag or tees couplings, and 90s They had a blast with them

some 40+ years ago my father made building blocks for his 2 grand kids. Those same blocks were used by my grand son and now my nieces kids.

An empty cardboard box or two. No, really. Good for days of fun, and when it's all used up, into the fire pit with it!
One time, Santa brought tarps & rope to some kids, along with some fancy hardware like shackles and those neat carabiner things.
