I am fixing to adopt a 9 year old boy and 10 year old girl.
We have no biological children. No friends who are close to us with kids.
What is "cool" and what do kids like at those ages?
Thanks!
Answer
At that age kids are still a little open with the parents. Since you will be adopting them, I want to say first off I think that is great! First see if you can ask the adoption agency that you are going through if they know what the kids are into right now. Mine are into, Boys: Video games, computer games, the movie "CARS" by Disney, his bike, and roller blades. Girls: are a little harder. My daughter who is 11 likes Bratz dolls, crafts and scrapbooks, High School musical, roller skates, and my daughter likes her bike too. If you find out what they are into, you can decorate their rooms to fit their personalities. Also, here is the advice I give to all my friends and family that are about to be parents. Having kids is not only the hardest job in the world, but it is the best job too. Remember, we make mistakes as parents just like kids make mistakes. As long as you learn from them, like you hope your kids will, everything will work out in the long run.

What do kids aged 3-10 like and dislike?
Anna Banan
I am making a client profile for my Product Design class but I have kinda run out of ideas as to what kids aged 3-10 (both boys and girls) will like and dislike. It's meant to be things like animals, activities, colours, stuff like that. Thanks in advance xx
Answer
It all depends on their personal preference. Not all kids like the same things. However, some things that my kids like are:
3 & 4 year old male
Animals- They have liked all animals that they have came in contact with so far. Some of their favorites are dogs, cats, elephants, worms and bugs.
Activities- They like to play with almost any toys including cars, blocks, dolls, guns, balls and any other toy. They like to fingerpaint,color, cut and glue things, make playdough and play with it, paint toast, draw, playing in dirt, skating, riding bikes, do puzzles, blow bubbles, draw with chalk, play sports, sing, play on swing sets and in sand boxes, play in/with water, dance and listen to music. They like to pretend play like pretending to be cops and robbers, doctors, teachers, mommy and daddy and lots of other things.
Colours- They like all different colors especially bright colors.
Girls in that age group that I have been around seem to like the same things with a few exceptions maybe.
5-6 old boys
I've only been around 1 boy of that age so far. He liked the same things that the 3 & 4 year old do. He also liked going for walks in the mountains and woods, playing with action figures.
5-6 year old girls
A lot of the same things as above unless they are really girly. Girly girls like playing with barbies and other dolls, playing with pretend makeup and nail polish, dressing up as princesses and other people. They also like doing some of the things mentioned above like playing with bubbles, jump ropes, playing with toys, reading, music, dancing and playing house, teachers and doctors.
7-10 year old
I don't know a lot about kids this age but I do have two family members within this age range. They like to do the activities mentioned above but would rather play cops and robbers, fire fighters, police officers or cowboys and indians instead of pretending to be teachers and doctors. They like to go on nature walks, play in the dirt, wrestle, play on swing sets, play video games, watch tv, play with friends, race and many more things. The animals and colours they like depend on personal preference as it does with every age. Young kids tend to like bright colors though.
