What are you buying for your 4 yr old boy?

[mintich]

So far I've thought basketball net, batmobile....and then I'm stumped.
He has tons of hot wheels and I was hoping to stay away from too much plastic!
He got lots of toys and a yoto player in October for his birthday.

Asda have a nice Spiderman towel if he likes Spiderman, or bluey fleece blanket if that's his thing

Craft supplies DD nearly 4 loves the usbourne magic painting books (not all girly they do dinosaurs, space, dragons etc) and hama beads

There is some lovely 4+ Mickey mouse Lego about ATM, funfair, castle etc

Books

I've bought DD eeboo story cards as she loves story telling

Den building kit
Orchard Toys giant road floor puzzle
Mr Men library
PlayMais
Kinetic sand

DS is almost 4 and he's getting a lot of Lego from family! He can do the 4+ and 5+ ones pretty well, and the 7+ with a lot of concentrating. Main present is a remote control digger. Apparently he likes dressing up at nursery so maybe a fancy dress costume.

Other things he generally plays with are dinosaur figures, wooden train track, magnetic tiles, kinetic sand. There's a roaring dinosaur mask that he saw that he's keen on but I can't see it having much longevity!

My 4 year old boy is getting the following -

Hot wheels ultimate garage
Hot wheels cars
Lego set
Zuru smashers
Pig goes pop game
Magformers
Electric toothbrush

I'm googling some of these suggestions! The Orchard toys puzzles are a good shout, he loves their puzzles

Bundle of 2nd hand playmobil, Goo Jitzu bits, Bluey board game, Peppa Pig book, Baby doll with change of outfit, remote control car that drives up the wall, Spiderman lego set, dinosaur book. On the lookout for a Sonic the Headgehog onesie.

Also playdough and a colouring set

Magna tiles - or a version of these.
Definitely number one toy in our house, he plays with them every day at home and at pre school. I really wish if got them earlier for my older daughter, she is nearly 8 and often still dives in. We have parts from three different sets, and all equally fun - the kit I've got for Xmas/ his birthday ( these are close together) has more wheels as he continues to be car mad..

I recommend Richard scarry books, very funny, can read over and over. Also little red train has longevity, eldest uses it as spotting book.

Spider-Man spotting book

Scratch art book

And crocodile dentist game and I'm looking for other family games he can join in with, possibly cooperative type

I usually ask grandparents for a couple of pricier clothes things- eg frugi hoodie, Boden something. We normally have loads of handmedowns but the things that get a lot of wear it's nice to have a couple of new things.

Possibly jigsaws, he loves jigsaws.

Recently got his own pencil case and purse, thrilled with these.

Maybe pants socks wooly hat in stocking
