Birthday ideas to avoid an Xbox!!!

Hi all I need some ideas please!

My son turns 4 in May and is asking for an Xbox for his birthday - I don’t think he actually wants an “Xbox” what it’s all about is his complete obsession with music! He loves it and recently found the justdance videos on his cousins Xbox and then YouTube and now he can combine music AND dancing - its his kind of heaven 😉

He will happily sit and listen/dance to music all day if I let him and he’s been like it since he was born! He’s got no interest in instruments or making the music though Hmm

I DO NOT want him having an Xbox at 4 (personal choice) because I feel it’s just another hook to the tv.

So does anyone have any ideas for alternatives - I’m stumped 🤔

He just doesn’t want to know about anything else Confused

Thanks in advance

If you wanted to totally avoid screens, how about one of those dance mat things where they jump on bits of it and it lights up? Might seem boring if it's an X Box he's after though? I like the karaoke idea, or how about a keyboard with a microphone to sing into. I think some of them play songs you can bash along to and sing?

Someone just got one of my DC a handheld disco light and he loves that!
