Boy present

[vthokie]

What does your April boy like right now? It's the start of birthday season around here, and I need to get one of A's friends a present for next weekend.

[katfco]

Trains, puzzles, Little People, books

[musiclover]

Smart max vehichles kick ass

Monster trucks

Kinetic sand

Play dough

Toy tow truck

To name a few

[musiclover]

And I forgot, the duplo vehicle kit

Duplo train kit

And the Melissa and Doug vehichles, or car transporter are soooooo special to him.

[Deleted]

Any car/truck sort of thing, pretty much anything that screams BOY!

[charmediamsure]

Duplo. Daycare let the kids play with Lego from the school age room under close supervision and they told me Jack LOVED it and said maybe next Christmas. I feel like I might get him some for his birthday provided we lay down strict ground rules not to eat it. But he's also not a toy eater anymore.

Playdough.

Hot wheels cars. Or anything to do with the Cars Disney movie.

[charmediamsure]

Oh, also, Jack got this for Christmas and he LOVES it: www.amazon.com/Green-Toys-Astronauts-Vehicle-Playset/dp/B00BPRLGSW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1425136221&sr=8-11&keywords=spaceship

[Deleted]

Puzzles, Pirate, Legos.

[bigapple]

Anything having to do with trains, trucks, and construction equipment.

Any sort of tool.

Anything he can build and knock over.

This is a HUGE hit: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SGR3TWU/ref=pd_aw_sim_t_1?refRID=1853N66RB4WVA3G11K99

[carawestt]

Any car/truck, Little People, shovels and stuff for the sand.

[bigapple]

He's also really into musical instruments: ukulele, flute, drums, etc. (depending upon how much you dislike the parents!)

I thought J would feel this way, but he could care less about it. Kinda bummed.  But God forbid if you try and put it away.

Which thing, the duplos? Nolan is, and has been obsessed for a solid year now. He got those for Christmas 2013.

No, the M&D car transporter.

Joshua is now obsessed with recorders- he plays with them at my mom's.  He now uses straws at our house to pretend.

Dump truck, tent, Melissa and Doug cardboard stacking blocks, Home Depot took kit, doctor kit, little people bus and tractor, ride on bike.

Gotcha. Nolan was given that when he was maybe 8 months, but in the past year has become OBSESSED with it.

Much to my husband's chagrin, C is just not into Duplos. I suspect the problem is that they don't make a satisfying crashing sound, so what's the point of building?

[imimahoney]

Lego duplo, tinkertoys, trucks/trains.

[jg183]

Animals, Dinos, trains, cars, musical instruments

I know you don't have a ton of space, but L loooves the M&D cardboard bricks, and they make a big crash! He plays with them daily!

We have another brand, and he loves them! We keep them stacked in the fireplace

I'm not sure about you guys, but I didn't try to make William like typical boy toys, he just does. I find it pretty interesting.

I know us too! His Dino obsession is ridiculous

[lolaburns]

Anything that is a train, car, truck, construction vehicle, dinosaurs, dragons , wash, rinse, repeat.

He also really enjoys crayons and painting a lot, but I know a lot of moms might not want to deal with crayons and paint.

Same. He has a pink and purple shopping cart that he loved when he was younger. Now he will even tell me a more " feminine" toy is E's. It's really bizarre to me and I don't get where he got this. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

He also likes My Little Pony's and the Littlest Per Shop a lot.

Allow me to show you C's kitchen. Sigh.

William does like putting makeup on himself or me though, but it's just like coloring so I'm sure he doesn't see it as a girl thing as much.

Like my pink loving princess child?? I have never pushed girly stuff. She just loves pink glitter frilly. And dirt.

I went with a Duplo set. I love all things Lego

[eav2c]

Trains

Toy Story

Picasso tiles (best thing ever!)

Dinosaurs
