Ask HN: What extra-ordinary presents can you think of for kids? 4 points by mezod 2y ago ↗ HN Let's say for ages 5-10y. More on the education, discovery, spark curiosity side of things (This is HN after all!) :)Got any suggestions?

[–] mikewarot 2y ago ↗ A cheap micrometer, and some simple hand tools for working with metals, plastics, etc. Files, screwdrivers, rulers, etc.An Arduino starter kit with plenty of servos, sensors, etc. All run off a few batteries, and relatively safe.It's amazing what kind of instrumentation you can get for less than $100 these days.

[–] jdwyah 2y ago ↗ These are very cool. https://www.spielzeug-meiners.de/marken/simba-dickie-baby-un... fun to see kids learning how to use a wrench and screwdriver and washers.
