know its a bit late, but just on off chance thought i'd ask if anyone got any ideas.

have got him a couple of things already, and my hubby keeps saying not to worry as he doesn't know or care, but i do!
and i'm not 100% sure he doesn't know or care!

he likes being in things, so got him squashy blox from elc. also drum, couple teletubbies dvds, the oringinal slinky! (he loves slinkies) a waybulu soft toy.

hmm, am probably just being daft.

but what have other people got their kids?

Hawkins bazaar squidgies (shop or online) plus Mr Potato Head have been my DS's firm faves for years (he's ASD and now 6)

bubble tube in argos, about £30 i think it was, a peanut ball to squash him with?, a big box full of shredded paper to play in?!,

Anything with buttons and flashing lights?

Is he into spinning things? Tesco have a fab all singing all spinning drum, and ds2 loves his. It's only about £10 as well.

When ds was 3 he spent hours playing with one of these (well, slightly different design). Actually we all played with it as it was quite addictive! Also, he would let us play with him which was a rare thing.

Pixel we bought that for DS last year, he loves it.

Got this a few weeks ago, he likes sitting in it, it's sturdy and is great for storage.

We've got ds(4) asd, gears construction kit,liquid egg timer,fibre optic lamp, sounds lotto game to encourage listening
What about a marble run.
They have lots of sensory stuff in Hawkins Bazarre.

Another vote for mr potato head .

Dd2 is getting a wheely bug and waybuloo toys.

What about a pop up tent/play house?
