SR Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi,Anyone have any recommendations on a toy for a 2.5 yr old boy? Our friends will be visiting form afar and after staying with us will have a long haul flight so would be great to hear of something on the small side that will keep him entertained for a while. Do not have the budget to be splashing out on Nintendo DS (if that is what they are called) happy to spend between ?20 - ?40.Please help!

melbourne groover Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Cars, lots of cars.... Boats, dinosaurs, a ball. Sainsbury's have stuff discounted at the moment so more bang for your buck so to speak.

njc97 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Another vote for cars. Or how about a london taxi, bus and police car? Or a thomas the tank engine?

Polly D Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 How about an etch-a-sketch? My 2.5yr old son had a go on a friend's recently and loved it, amused us for hours. Could be good on a flight:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flair-310-Classic-Etch-Sketch/dp/B000E69YJI Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19375-toy-recommendation-for-25-yr-old-boy/#findComment-472102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboarder Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 My 2.5 yr old has a wide range of 'likes' including anything vehicle (train/car/tractor/digger) related, pirate related, dinosaur related and robot related. Play doh and crayons not so much, but ok for a bit. Loves books. Loves tv.

Belle Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Stickers are good - maybe a jumbo sticker/activity book? (thinking for the plane). Agree with all the above suggestions too. You can get mini tubs of dinosaurs from the Early Learning Centre I think.

mumtoone Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Wooden London bus is a hit here.We play a lot with a cheap staff too like balloons,bubbles,pasta or rice to make shakers.Or just put a music on, my boy can dance for an hour :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19375-toy-recommendation-for-25-yr-old-boy/#findComment-472626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
