Hi! It's my little mans birthday the end of sept. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas what to get him as I am clueless!!! He has loads as he has all my older sons toys too.
We have already got him a Thomas the tank book, a cars 'mater' bubble mower and a mickey mouse camper van with characters.

    Lego? Mine love lego, still do. And building bricks, the plain wooden ones. All kinds of possibilities for games there.

    I agree with Val too, you could take him out somewhere - depends on your budget, of course, but the zoo? Seaside?

    We have Lego, mega blocks and are members of Chester
    Zoo so visit frequent. Lol. But has given me a thought... We went to paultons last summer and he loved the rollarcoasters and log flumes etc. But there is an idea He is mad on Thomas the tank so could make a trip to drayton manor :) and get a few small bits like puzzles or something?

    Sounds like a good plan, Mel. Lots of ice cream and Thomas, you can't go wrong!

    Push along scooters for little children are popular. My Niece was 3 a few weeks ago and we bought her a toy farm from elc.

    Hope he has a lovely day,

    Oneday, you just reminded me of what my girls loved at this age - Happyland from the Early Learning Centre. It's a HUGE range and it's a town with real sound effects for things like the toilets, TVs and cookers in houses. There's also a police and fire station and make believe fairy creations. Really lovely chunky toys that little people love.

    Ever since my grandson was 1 yr old I've bought him books. I also get him a toy but I really would like him to be a booklover. It's paid off too. He absolutely loves his vast collection. Especially Enid Blyton. He's read The secret 7 series twice, The famous 5, The Wishing Chair etc. etc. He also loves all the Michael Morpurgo books of which I've almost collected all of!
