What toys/games should we have to keep 8-9 yr. old boys from destroying my house? I have 2 boys, ages 5 & 8. They play pretty mellow together - games, legos, creative play etc. But when we have neighborhood kids (other boys ages 7-9) over, it's a free for all. The boys all go wild and play very agressively - tons of energy expelled and not very constructively. Toys get broken, kids get hurt and my house is being slowing destroyed. I think our toys are perhaps too "young" and they get bored quick? We have legos, Thomas Trains, Playmobile sets, Lincoln Logs, Hot Wheels, Rescue Heroes, Spy Gear stuff, etc. We are not interested in getting any gaming systems (playstation, wii, etc.) for a couple years. Does anyone have any suggestions on winter, indoor toys/games that boys this age like to do inside? Or do you think I just need to be stricter and insist they settle down somehow and play with what we have? When they are all playing at other houses, they mostly play the gaming systems (or go wild in someone's unfinished basement where the owner doesn't care what they do).

Good toys/games for kids with a speech delay? I have a friend who has a son (about 20 mo. old) with a speech delay (speech of an 11 mo. old). Me, and some other ladies are going in to buy this kid some toys. He has a few (maybe 5 total), and they are good toys LeapFrog things, where you turn the wheel and it sings the ABC's, and baby Tad etc. But all of these toys talk to him, an do not require a response from her son. She's on a tight budget (she didn't buy ANY of the toys she already has) and refuses to buy him any more toys. What we are looking for is some ideas from personal experience or work experience, of some toys that will be useful to him to play with, but will also require her to do a little more, which will encourage him to become more chatty. These do not have to be high dollar, or low dollar, the kid hardly has anything as it is, so this leaves open many toys, but we only want to buy the ones that offer a good opportunity for her to talk, and him to start picking up on words, by trying to get a response out of him.
