There's a great website called Fat Brain Toys, where one can research many award-winning items for kids of all ages. Their prices are sometimes competitive, but further browsing is suggested for scoring the best purchasing option. With five GrandLoves, I've spent a good bit of time there.
Gavin fell in love with the Snap Circuits set we gifted him for Christmas; it's a brainy non-toy toy for kids from 8 to 108. A month later, he was still telling us, "I like the building set you gave me." Music to our ears, of course, and a huge help in deciding on a birthday gift. But before we had a chance to give him the second set, he FaceTimed us on his special day to play real music he'd "invented" for himself... 'twas the Happy Birthday song.

When finally he opened, it didn't take long for him to get serious, study the accompanying suggestions and snap away, as I snapped a few pictures. Just look at that concentration.
It's great to be 8!!
