One of my brothers was bemused by the fact that his iPad/gaming obsessed kids spent most of the day playing with low tech toys I got them (Spirograph, gyroscopes, mecanno set, football etc) and not with the various electronic games etc they had got them. It was more to help them do something different than stare at screens all day, use their imaginations and have fun in a different way.
