What are you getting your 4yo son?

[hackneybird]

He has outgrown most of his toys so I'd really like to stock up his toy collection with stuff more age appropriate. So far I've bought:

Superman/Batman pjs
Lego city starter kit
Couple of books (DH bought them, not sure which they are)
Few cheap stocking fillers

I'd like to get a couple more things though. He doesn't get bought a huge amount of things during the year and he never asks for anything so I'd like to treat him.

DS2 is 4.3. He really enjoyed planning with Georello gears the other day when we got DS1's set out of the loft. Actually this set is the one we have which is doubly good as you can decorate it with the little pegs.

He also has the Playmobil big zoo which he likes quite a bit.

Unfortunately he's getting a Furby Boom this Christmas as he covets the one his sister got for her birthday....

Ds's main present is a dressing up box with a spiderman costume, superman costume, fireman costume, doctors coat, doctors set, gruffalo costume, Captain Hook costume and tmnt weapons ( he already has the costume).
He's also getting:
Toy story remote control car
Lego emergency vehicles
Playmobil submarine
Playmobil dragon ( to go with his castle)
Tmnt figures
Cheapo meccano
Lots of books
Roller skates
Mini robosapien
Playdough icecream factory
Couple of annuals
Hand puppets
Liverpool kit
Elefun
New onesie ( he's having this on Xmas eve for our onesie party though)

And stocking bits

Hope that helps, is he at school yet?
