We have probably mentioned our love of snap circuits but if not, they are wonderful. Build your own circuits with sturdy plastic snap together pieces. Mr. 6 got his first set for his 5th birthday and added on at birthdays and Christmas and now has most of the sets. When he got the first set, Mr. 4 was only just barely Mr. 3 and a bit young so we told him that these were 5 year old toys and it just stuck. Now that he's older he can play with them but we ask that he do it with Mr. 6's help or other grown-up or just play with the blue connecting pieces. Therefore he is thrilled that at his upcoming birthday he'll get his own snap circuits. We weren't actually planning on buying more (they actually very well-made and we've only broken one or two despite the occasional building of spaceships out of them (a use I try to discourage - we do own 3 billion legos as well as a bin of parts to build your own spaceship) but Mr. 4 believes this is a rite of passage. And you can never have too many resistors and switches.
