Choosing a gift for a boy aged between two and four years old? Need some ideas? Getprice to the rescue!
Educational Toys
Small boys are full of energy and curiosity, and so educational toys that get them to use their heads are a great way to keep them amused. Fisher-Price make an amazing range of nearly unbreakable educational toys that are outlast even the roughest play.
Puzzles & Games
At this age, a big jigsaw puzzle is going to be a bit difficult, but there are loads of other simple puzzles featuring his favourite cartoon character, vehicle or animal. Three-dimensional wooden puzzles are also great fun and encourage the little architect in him.
Building Sets
Speaking of little architects, at this age boys are generally starting to build things. At age two, Normal Lego is a bit fiddly for really small hands, but Lego's toddler-oriented line Duplo will get them ready for the studded blocks as they approach four years-old. Regular, old-fashioned building blocks are also a great idea, and can be combined with anything else at hand. If he's a real budding tradesman (or it's just a phase), you can't go wrong with Bob the Builder.
Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends
We're going to give the perennial Thomas his own section here. Whether you give him a Thomas-themed toy train, one of the lovely Ringo Starr-voiced Thomas and Friends DVDs or even just some cute Thomas-branded clothes, he'll be sure to be happy about it. You're really on the right track with a good Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends gift.
Outdoor Fun
Australia's great weather makes playing outdoors a must. Either playing with fun outdoors toys, splashing about in the pool or playing on the sand at the beach, or simply pretend playing their favourite characters or roles in a costume.
Clothes
Little boys often have a a favourite shirt or top and so if you're clothing doesn't have to be the boring option. Picking an him a boys' outfit in his favourite colour can make just getting dressed in the morning great fun.
