Ya think sauce wand too complicated for 5 yr. old?

I got to get my friend's kids, twins 5 years old and another 7, presents for Christmas and I was thinking sauce wand. I never owned one but they look reasonably cool for a kid. Anybody ever played with them and do you think too complicated for a five year old? Or any other ideas? I want to get them all the same to avoid jealousy and want to keep the per cost light under $15.

I think a Sauce wand would be appropriate for a five year old child, but I don't have children, so I am rather ill-equipped to provide any type of confirmation or verification here.

probably not too complicated - might have to explain how to work it tho /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif. at least you wouldnt have to worry about battery drain with the auto-off!

Should have explained what a sauce wand was in my original post. Sorry. Like I said will entertain other ideas as well. The sauce wand came to mind because it is inexpensive and I believed carried at Radio Shacks.

I gave a pair of wands and a light saucer to a 4 and 5yo team. They seemed to like them but I don't know if they found the secret modes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
