a sure fire way to get a good bat is when your looking at it do two things ...1. have him hold the bat straight out for 30 seconds with one hand all the way at the bottom of the bat it shouldn't be easy but it shouldn't be too hard. 2. find a place with alot of room in the store (near the bats) and have him swing the bat or at least go through the motion slowly. he needs a bat that comes to about his waist probably a little shorter then that.  those are the main points....if your son has played baseball before he will probably know when he has found the right bat.  if he hasnt then just get what he likes (as long as money isn't a real factor cause they can be preety expensive) and hope for the best...also if your in little league make sure the bat is aprooved for little league play ive accidentaly picked up softball bats (usualy heavier with longer sweet sposts) loved em and then looked at them and almost cried lol. if he has played and would like to develope a little more power there are a few tips that can help for starters pick a heavier bat and swing up slightly the heavier bat has to do with physics the more weight moving the easier it is to keep it going and the slight up swing meets the ball dead on making it easier to get the ball in the air (note only use those last 2 tips if he has played before and is looking for extra power they are hard for new players to do and a heavier bat will most likely mess up a beginner)  if he hasnt played go lighter then what most people might think it gives him a little more bat speed and bat control so it'll be better for him.  and two more things that i forgot to mention before are when he swings make sure he rotates his hips and folows through with everything else its something that really helps even beginners.  another thing is i really don't like buying bats off the internet although it can be done i think that a bat really needs to be felt befeor you can truely decide if its good or not but like i said it can be done and the bat im currently using is from the internet but i knew more or less what i was looking for (heavy and long) when your not sure what to look for buying a bat off the internet is a risky option.  by the way im 13 and im using a 33 inch 28 oz. bat.

Sounds like he likes outdoor adventure so I would get him a gift certificate to REI or Modells sporting goods,  Sports Authority, somewhere he can pick out the type of equipment that he needs for the sports he likes.

Depends on what you're looking for.  My first answer would be Born Free.  Nice rig - well built - but a bit on the higher side of the price range.  Another choice would be Lazy Daze, which seems to have a good following in Class C coaches.

Find open-ended toys... typically toys that don't have batteries. Toys that have more than one use. Frankly I'm a bit skeptical about the true value of Leap Frog for a child that young. \n\nWaldorf & Montessori style toys are a good example of open-ended toys that will encourage your child to use his/her imagination and inguinity. Play silks are great as are other simple objects. Kids who have a few toys often exhibit more imagination than those who have piles of them. A friend of mine recently observed this own phenomena when she packed up most of her son's toys in preparing to move. \n\nLess (or no) TV is better ... esp. at that young age. If you are going to let your toddler watch any TV at all it should be something with a redeaming value... like what they have on PBS ... Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, etc. I've heard experts recommend that you limit it to one hour per day or less. \n\nSome good web-sites for Waldorf Toys are:\n\nwww.bellalunatoys.com\nwww.magicgarden.com\nwww.atoygarden.com\nwww.fairycove.com  (beautiful hand-dyed play silks)\nwww.willowtreetoys.com\nwww.islandtreasuretoys.com\n\nKids need to be engaged in the real world in order to stimulate more brain development and encourage real-life, hands-on learning. You can turn every day activities into an opportunity to learn... from a walk in the neighborhood (you can talk about what you see from people, plants, neighborhood animals, insects, the weather, etc.), a trip to the grocery store (talk about what you're buying & what you can do with different foods, talk about why you choose one thing over another, explain why healthy foods are good for his/her body, let him/her help by putting something in the basket or helping you to put produce in a bag), let them help you in the kitchen by "washing" vegetables, stirring, helping to meassure, dumping premeassured ingredients into the bowl or pot, etc. We use a step ladder with our daughter in the kitchen. She loves to watch and "help." Sometimes she will pick up a sponge or rag and try to help me clean. It's so fun to see what they pick up on!  :)\n\nThere's a great show on PBS (KCET in LA) called "A Place of Our Own" that has tons of great ideas. They also have a web-site: \n\nwww.aplaceofourown.org\n\nThey also have a DVD series if you can't get it on your local PBS channel. But, do check out the web-site!!!\n\nPlaydough (you can make it yourself easily & cheaply), paints & paper, a bowl of beans or flour, etc. and something to scoop with, something to make music with ... from pots and pans to bells that they can shake to a drum or kiddie xylophone, or whatever you have laying around the house. You can make noise-makers for your child as well. Sometimes the simplest of objects turn out to be the ones with the most play & educational value.\n\nMusic Together classes are also great for developing music, language & future math proficiency. Other children's music classes may offer a similar benefit. But, MT uses a method that combines fun songs, body movements & music theory through harmonics & simple scales ... for instance they might sing "ba ba ba ba" in a harmonic scale and then ask the kids & parents to repeat it. \n\nIt's great because it works with where the kids are developmetally. It's okay if the child wants to get up and dance or run around when others are sitting and it's okay if the child doesn't want to give the instrument back when they move on to the next one. My dd usually doesn't sing in class & often runs around with the other kids. But, then at home I will hear her sing the songs sometimes when she thinks no one else is listening. :) And I always have so much fun with her whenever I go because it's parent & child participatory. (Her dad usually takes her Sat. mornings.) They also give you a CD (with two copies... one for the car & one for home) that have 25-35 songs on them. They have nine

I hope you mean just one that you throw rather than a model one with an engine...fatherhood is tough. If you want one to throw you can get some 'foam core board', its found in arts and craft shops and cuts easily, is light and will make a good aircraft. Also here is a glider plans link:\n\nwww.eng.cam.ac.uk/outreach/CUEDresources/ GliderDesign/gliderinstructions2004.pdf \n\ngood luck!

I don't know about brands, but features to look for are 1)Shock absorbtion in the padding 2)Wheels (it may seem like a luxury but you will LOVE them) 3)Waterproof 4)Price (you do get what you paid for)  Basically you need what is best for your most prized posession.  Happy playing!

The RWS model 34 would be a great choice...RWS makes high quality precision air guns...For $230 you will have, not only a great practice rifle but one that your son will use for a lifetime and then hand down to his son...\n\nMy personal favorite is the Feinwerkbau(FWB) 124D but, they are long out of production and the owners of these are very proud of them...It is possible to still find one one every now and again on http://www.gunbroker.com or http://www.gunsamerica.com if money is no object this is one heck of a rifle...Maybe the finest rifle of any type ever, almost Olympic match grade accuracy in a sporting air rifle, and it's built to last several life times, the maintenance calls for one drop of oil after the first six million rounds...\n\na couple of places to check air rifle prices\nhttp://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com\nhttp://www.pyramidair.com\n\nfor information on air guns\nhttp://www.beeman.com\n\nLook into the Ruger 10/22 when you feel he's ready...

my rictas, which are on the higher side of the scale, were i think 30. but you can some good ones for twenty or less. rictas, spitfire and autobahn are really good. you should probably get wheels that are made from a company that only makes wheels. zero and girl and stuff like that may look cooler, but also may wear out faster. wheel-only companies spend all their money and time on finding out good ways to make it faster, stronger, and lighter.
