Best toys for DS4 - current toys completely lame

[stillsleeptraining]

DS4's toys are really shit - a load of dinosaurs and Lego and that's about it. Obviously craft stuff and a few costumes as well, but we need a serious, serious upgrade.

What are your DS's favourite toys? Would LOVE some ideas!

What does he enjoy doing?
Does he like the dinosaurs and the Lego?
Most 4 year olds I know like small things like cars and diggers.

Coding Critters
Kid Knex
Brio Build It
Marble run
Kinetic sand construction box
Toy car garage
Playmobil fire station and police station
Magnatiles

Well what does he like? Classics are a train track and trains, a garage, a marble run, a farm, magnatiles are fab (magnetic shapes that click together), a box of those kitchen science experiments for rainy days (I think the Galt brand do some). A basic remote control car or robot is fun. Depends on their interests really and how they like to play - one of mine just can’t do imaginative play and the other loves it and will spend ages building little villages and people etc.

Does he enjoy playing with the lego and dinosaurs? If so, what's the problem?
My DS5 loves his Lego and dinosaurs. He also has wooden train set, cars, diggers, and a load of plastic tat!
What is your sim into?

Ask school / nursery what he enjoys playing with.

Wood train tracks
Magnatiles
Building blocks
Board games
Balls
Scooter
Bike
Roller skates

I just realised that I didn't thank everyone - thank you!

You made me realise that we actually do have a lot, but I need to do some more research on the stuff I know he'd really play with.

Although he really just wants to play with us when we're at home!
