DS is pretty much over his Laugh & Learn bball and tool bench, which are really his only 2 "boy" toys so far. He prefers to do whatever DD is doing, which means he ends up playing with her doll house a lot, which is fine, I'm glad that they play together. But I'd like to get him something similar, but more boy oriented. Any recs?
I was thinking maybe a hot wheels car wash/garage toy, grill, pirate ship, etc. A lot of them had age ranges of 3-5 yrs, but I think he would be ready for something like that. He's 14 months, but he pretty much does anything that DD does at this point.
TIA!
Re: recs for boy toys
Little People have a lot of the sets you're describing. They have a construction zone, a zoo, a farm, a boat, a fire house, a garage, etc.
Also, DS LOVES his Zoom Zoom Cars:

The cat also really likes sitting in it, so it serves a dual purpose. haha

that right now. You can buy all different extra cars, like he has a batman one, a green lightening one, a fire truck. Every once in a while he will spot the little cars at target and he picks a different one and i get it for him, there like $3.50 or so.
Also, this is a little tall for him but he seems to love it lol. We also have the little tikes priate ship water table which is a big hit

And this car that he has had since he was like 9 months old, he recently fell in love with it again, I think its because he figured out how to actually use it.
