My wonderful DS2 will be four in late Jan. He is a great kid but he doesn't really play with toys in the traditional sense. His brother likes Lego/duplo/cars so much easier!
What does he like? He likes role play, his favourite game is running around the house pretending to be Bluey/Pikachu/a dinosaur.
He absolutely loves making dens and hiding in dark places with a torch. We often find him in cupboards 🤣. This is along with pretending to be on adventures, his second fave thing to do.
He likes bags and things he can put things into. He runs around with a rucksack and puts toys into the rucksack, but he doesn't play with them for long. Little pots and boxes are always a hit.
He does quite like little dinosaur toys/figures but he has lots of these.
We have a toy kitchen which he enjoys and all the paraphernalia.
He loves to climb, swing & play outside. If he's not running around the house on some adventure, he's outside making potions or having an adventure on the climbing frame.
All the toys I see - paw patrol cars, marble runs, Lego, he'd like them a bit, but they don't tap into his real interests.
So I need out there presents, for a role play, den loving, active little pre schooler!
Hit me with your ideas!
