What's a comparable 6yo "boyish" alternative to Pick a Pearl?

[maramarrie]

I want to do Pick a Pearl with 4.5yo DD this trip and put the pearl in a cage necklace for her. DS will likely want his own activity and while he'd probably love to pick a pearl, I don't really know what we'd do with it for him after that. Are there comparably priced activities with souvenir that a 6yo boy could enjoy, preferably in Epcot/Epcot resorts so we could do it the same day?

If he's a Star Wars fan then I think comparable activities are "Build a Droid" or "Build a Lightsaber" but they are not at Epcot (There are several lightsaber places, but DHS has the only Droid one I think - at the end of Star Tours). There is one of those deals where they superimpose your face on pictures from movies or magazine covers at the end of Imagination. That's about all I can think of.

Or if you don't mind play weapons, maybe you could buy him a sword and glue the pearl to the handle and tell him he can start a collection to add to his jewel encrusted hilt or if not maybe decorate a small treasure chest?

My husband loves his pearl cufflinks/tie tack set. Pearls are for boys too!

Otherwise, the build a droid/light-saber, or pack a Mr. Potato Head Box at DTD are all cool, too.

My 2 older sons Picked a Pearl this year. Of course both sets of pearls were made into earrings and were given to girlfriends when we got home! I tried to get them to give them to me, but no luck there!

There are some pearl cages available on ebay or etsy that could be worn on a rope necklace or used as a bag tag. Some that may appeal to a boy that I saw when looking for my 3yo were pirate skull and crossbones, shark, and mickey ears.

Here's an example of the shark one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/161915840/pick-a-pearl-cage-silver-shark-jaws.

I like the idea of incorporating the pearl into his toys. Maybe it'd be good treasure for his action figures to search for? Or if he has Dino toys it could be a dinosaur egg. That's what I'd do haha.

It's not at Epcot, but at T-Rex in Downtown Disney I believe they have a Build-A-Dinosaur (like Build-A-Bear). Never done it, but I've heard some of the kids love it!
