[Mean Mr. Mustard]

I thought I would rely on the collective braintrust of the people here and ask for assistance in selecting a gift for a couple of children I know. I work as a nurse in a major hospital and one of their parents is in a very bad way (think non-responsive bad) and this will be their first Christmas since the accident. I get along great with the family and the two kids whose life has been turned upside down so I thought I would try and make the day a little bit easier on them by having a surprise Santa gift for them when they visited the hospital on Christmas day. The problem though is I don't have any kids of my own and I have no idea what 4-7 year old kids like. I have a couple giant packs of markers and a colouring book, but I was looking for some suggestions for gifts that some people here may have.

Thanks.
