Today Lil Linc is 4 yrs old. Any idea what I should get him for gifts?

[LincolnMcGrath]

Actually he was four yesterday but Dad had to work all day, so his mother and I agreed to celebrate today.

How about it Lounge Lizards, Any creative ideas for presents for a four year old boy?

[Orrin_73]

1. A toy car or

a toy animal.

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. Thinking about a fisher price farm set.

Do they still make them?

[Orrin_73]

20. Oh I forgot, I used to play with lego alot

I made spaceships and cars with it. Lego

[MissMillie]

2. Some kind of noisy, kid-sized musical instrument

Just kidding



What about something artsy & craftsy....? An easel? A how-to origami kit? Water-soluable finger paints?

[LincolnMcGrath]

5. Finger paints!

He loves to do all that stuff at daycare/preschool!

Great Thanks!

[redqueen]

4. What does he like?

I always love buying books... some favorites are Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog, Kisses, and Mr Seahorse.

My kids love this game called Buckaroo... you stack things on this horse until he bucks it off.

Another favorite - Hot Wheels!

Have fun celebrating! :party:

[LincolnMcGrath]

7. He really like Spongebob

I know, I know, he's gonna be gay now. :eyes: LOL

I will check out Buckaroo. Thank You

[Shine]

10. Hey, my kids LOVE Spongebob! and they're 8 & 11

In fact, we ALL love Spongebob in our family. Spongebob is a TRUE INNOCENT...which is why he's so funny.

I've never heard the gay thing before. That's bizarre. Whatever. :eyes:

[LincolnMcGrath]

15. You missed the James Dobson-Spongebob is gay story?

Holy Mackerel! It was sicker than the tinky winky mess of a few years ago.

[Shine]

24. Guess so...

I remember the tinkywinky bullshit...I'm assuming this was along the same lines....

Ugh.

Isn't it amazing how judgmental and stupid people can be sometimes? Often, at the SAME TIME! :eyes:

6. Anything Spider-man related.

My little 4 year-old guy can't get enough of that Spidey. Bought him his Spider-Man Halloween costume and he absolutely refuses to take it off. It'll be in shreds by the time Halloween actually gets here.

Can't go wrong with Spider-Man.

[LincolnMcGrath]

14. His 9yr old bro is "all Spiday, all the Time".

Thank You

[flvegan]

8. Drum set...big drum set...with cymbals...

[Shine]

11. I would wait on this one....

4 is a bit young and hell, they're noisy enough at that age! :)

You were kidding, I'm sure. :silly:

[LincolnMcGrath]

16. Only if I can have it delivered to moms house! lol

[flvegan]

21. No better place for it.

[malta blue]

9. Old fashioned Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs

My daughter got them around that age and LOVED them. She is 6 now, and the long sticks from the Tinker Toys have been converted to Harry Potter wands, but she still pulls them out every once in a while and plays with them

[LincolnMcGrath]

18. Lincoln Logs for Lincoln?

Why didn't I think of that?

Thanks

[Shine]

12. Whatever he's interested in...action stuff: cars, artsy stuff: paints

ya know, like that.

Happy birthday to the little man! 4 is such a cute age... Have fun!

:hi:

13. We got ours stuff for his Playmobil Airplane.

We got him the plane for a gift earlier in the year and he LOVES it.

But he didn't have a way to push it away from the gate or put fuel in it, so we got him the Jet Service Vehicle and Tanker Truck for his 4th birthday last month. Fortunately, he doesn't know the Airport exists. :)

17. COOL

I had one years ago, very similar.

Thanks

[AirmensMom]

22. You're welcome.

Here he is playing with it. It's bigger than we expected it to be.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. A 4 yo absorbed with his/her toys is the most ZEN thing to watch

It's better than meditation. Most relaxing thing in the Universe.

[AirmensMom]

28. You bet!

He's actually our grandson ... and we only get to see him a few times/year. Last time he was here, he was SUCH a good boy that I told him I was going to send him a thank-you gift. He had gone on his first flight, so he was pretty fascinated with airplanes. Naturally, he wanted an airplane. I didn't know they had such a toy! He just loves it! :)

Have you decided what to get for your 4-year-old yet?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. You confused me with the OP

But that doesn't mean I can't buy some cool toy for MY 4yo, just because. :loveya:

[AirmensMom]

31. Let's ALL buy a toy for our 4yo!

It didn't register that it was YOU posting, not the OP. Sorry, CPD! I have "sometimers" disease, I guess. :dunce:

Glad you jumped in there. :hi:

23. A Hop Ball

(and now you can get them for adults, too... I want one!)
My son loved his! When we bought it we had to take it right to the park to inflate it. He sat on it, grabbed the handles and bounced off chanting "Bingy, Bingy, Bingy" as he bounced across the grass. It's great exercise, and if you have a big enough hall or room, can be used indoors.
My son just turned 11, and we still have the "Bingy-Bingy" ball. Sometimes we hang it up outside and he and a friend have fun taking turns bopping it like a giant, soft punching bag.
I googled "hop ball" and here is one site that sells them (also large ones for adults), but toy stores and fitness stores sell them, too. http://www.fitbuy.com/pd/bd5408009.html
Amazon has this Hop ball with Sponge Bob on it, but it sounds a bit smaller than the one we have...

26. Something that requires lots of batteries,

makes a horrendous noise and is make of metal with sharp edges. That's how my relatives shopped for my kids.

30. Pop-up books!

There's nothing better for curling up with Mom and Dad before bedtime.
