"Big" Christmas gift for 4yr old boy

kdunn79 · December 2011

I am struggling with what to get our son as his "big" gift for Christmas. I was thinking of getting him some sort of car garage set, as he loves his Hot Wheels. He also loves building things with wooden blocks. Very imaginative and into pretend-play. Any ideas??

a garage is a great gift. or a barn and animals. a train set. a tent. a bike. a scooter. these are ds's fave things.

We got ds an ipod touch, a CAT excavator and some books. Santa is getting him the Imaginex batcave, tball set, plastic swords, M&D large floor puzzles. My mom and dad got him a battery powered 4 wheeler (one of the bigger ones) and an Ironman robot thingy.

He has a bunch of matchbox cars I got from yardsales and a bunch of legos from a friend so I didn't get any of those (although those are his favorite toys now).

* garage is a good idea. DS is getting one on I picked up on clearance earlier in the year.

* dress-up clothes -- super hero cape and so on

* construction toys

* play food -- M&d has some really cute sets

* books

* floor puzzles

ETA: My DD is also into pretend play so she is getting more food and a toy microwave for her kitchen and a stick pony as she pretends her little broom is a horse all the time. The ones nowadays come with sound.

DS is approaching four, and this year his "big" gifts are a bean bag chair and a kids digital camera. He is also getting books and an some Matchbox vehicles. ILs are getting him an ice cream play food set, my sister is getting him bath boats, my dad is getting him a remote control truck, and my mom is getting him either a pirate ship toy or a play grill.
