Construction/ road toy

My son ,3, is really into construction (like builders and building sites) and cars/road signs. We're wanting to get him something around the £25-£50 mark that is around these themes and were hoping for ideas.

He already has a road table and signs( although more signs is good) and a building set full of tools and a builder hard hat.

I've tried looking but I can't find anything at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you all. 😊

I’ve been thinking about replacing our old kinetic sand with this for my 3 year old:

Or maybe getting this to go with some plain magnetic tiles we already have: https://www.amazon.com/MAGNA-TILES-32-Piece-Magnetic-Construction-ORIGINAL/dp/B09J6WTCXW

Does he have a wheelbarrow? You could probably get a softer plastic one for inside but we had a lovely metal red one for about £20 that my son loved pushing around the garden and collecting things at that age!

I got a set of interchangeable construction vehicles from Jackie's Toys for my 3 year old grandson. Lots of different fronts, backs, middles etc with magnetic connections so they can be made into lots of different combinations. I think they're fab and I'm hoping he does too 😁

A Bruder truck- we have the Man flatbed truck and the big crane. Both get played with regularly still (dc almost 6).

The Orchard Toys giant road floor puzzle is brilliant and my DS loved it for many years.
