gift guide: for the little boy cousin who could use a little low-tech in his life

so i have this adorable (but pretty wild) little cousin who was the ring bearer in our wedding...his parents have given him EVERY single toy in the world...swords, video games, legos, so i'm thinking a healthy dose of imagination might be just the trick!
here are my thoughts...

so if a child doesn't have a tree swing, they're missing out. seriously.  
a fun coloring book that actually encourages creativity and doodling!
a hat for warmth AND pretending!


because every little boy (and little girl) dreams of being a hardy boy or nancy drew...

because every little boy loves ninjas, which means he'll be excited to learn to bake with these...

a light that hangs on the wall and goes through the stages of the moon 
some astronaut ice cream so he can stare at his moonlamp and pretend he's in space...
and a paper airplane set so he can test out hypotheses about which plane body flies farther (yeah, scientific method!)

I am loving all these gift ideas. Now I wish I had a little cousin to buy a tree swing and moon lamp.
