What are you buying your 4 year old boy?

[5inthebed]

Just that. He got a leappad last year, so that's not an option. He is getting a bike for his November birthday. He has a scooter.

His brother getting the batman castle.

At a complete loss what to get him.

DS is 4 in 2 weeks so I have birthday and Christmas to sort and I just don't know what to get - he seems to have so much stuff already, and I got him a scooter over the summer.

Will probably get

Add ons for train set
Playmobil
Dressing up stuff(?) He's obsessed with being different characters and he keeps asking for a Puss In Boots hat and cape.
Not lego - sticking with duplo for another year or two I think.
Colouring things, maybe some craft things
Board games? Orchard Toys ones look nice.

Oh and he wants a fluffy, stripy, toy cuddly dog and a pillow pet and various character playsets, Octonauts, Doctor Who, Toy Story or Spiderman.

Ds will be 3.6 and is having:

Hot wheels cars and track. I know it'll be shit but he really wants it.
Play doh dentist
Play doh digger truck
Some orchard games
A tool set that builds a car
Books
Hama beads
Some Imaginext batman stuff

And a hideous HIDEOUS cherry the cat by emotion pets unless I can convince him otherwise. Horrific.

Oh and a few craft sets. Finally getting into craft.

BertieBotts & Onlyhappywhenitrains - I would highly recommend the Bus Stop game (Orchard Games). DS is nearly 4 and gets this out every day nearly!

Going for a proper Scalextric set this Christmas - thinking that it could be something to build up with over the years plus the 6 player digital base means you can do loads of fancy race programming which might suit as the kids get older.

Other then that Orchard games (piggy bank etc) always good. Played the game Frustration for the first time today so might get that too.

Innotab, playmobil and moon dough mainly. He already plays with ds2 playmobil airport and planes so I'm adding in the waterpark and cafe, the beach and a camper van maybe the holiday villa. His brother is getting mainly Scooby doo stuff and a tablet of some description they pretty much share all their toys.
