ShanaSmith said:My son was totally into anything that moved at that age. Especially Thomas trains... just be sure you want to go there, we have more trains and sets than I know what to do with. My son is 5 and still wants every train that he sees.
PCSarahjm said:Thanks for the ideas.
He loves tractors, trains, and blocks. But like everyone else we have tons. Last year we got him baby v.smile. He hasn't touched it once. I try to play it with him but he shows no interest at all.
What about games? Any ideas in that line of things.
I just always make it so hard on myself....I just want the perfect gift!lol

Also Duplo blocks, they are played with so much in my house.
If you do go for a train set, check out the Fisher-price geotrax set. It comes with a very simple remote (my 2 yr old daughter could do it when she got it for her birthday). It is VERY customisable, you can keep it simple or make it very complex, using ramps and supports to do two layers. My kids love it, and I think they will play with it for years more (they each got their own train and remote at age 2). You can keep buying more tracks and additional stuff as you need/want! The really cool part is that some of the add ons use "geo motion", which means that our windmill can either be set so the train goes by, or you move a lever and the train stops, and the motion of the train makes the windmill go around until you switch it back and the train continues. I think it is one of the best sets out there for kids from 2 to 6+. It is so fun, cool and versatile!! (And no, I don't work for fisher-price!).
Hope this helps!
Oh, also, if he doesn't have a bike, a bike is always great!
We also got my son a thomas the train laptop. He likes that too.[/QUOTE said:What type of activities are on the labtop?

I definitely recommend it! Plus they were on sale at Target.com for $28 and free shipping when my mom got hers. Hope that helps!
God bless,
