What are the best birthday gifts ($50 and under) for a 4-year-old boy?

He is very into trains and already has a pretty complete set of Fisher Price's GeoTrax. I don't really want to get into the whole Thomas set too... Plays a bit with Legos. Will be starting preschool in the fall.

Has a 2 1/2 year-old brother and 1-year-old sister, so needs to be fairly safe for them too. Asked by Mommyof3 53 months ago Similar questions: birthday gifts $50 4 year old boy Games & Leisure > Toys.

Oh, a bunch of options... Oh, here are some suggestions, you can also put together a 'theme' gift by putting several of the smaller items in a container, such as bubbles and such in a outdoor toy bucket or bath stuff in a plastic mesh tote. I will also list a bunch of these under product suggestions. Blocks... these are a classic that come in all types of sizes and shapes.

Lincoln logs (but the smaller logs would need to be kept away from siblings) Magnet toys by Megablocks Tub toys with kids wash cloth and and character towel and tub tints, etc. Bubbles Big clunky cars Board games like Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders and some of Craniums like Hulabaloo Books, go to any bookstore and check out the great selection of picture books, and don't forget the classics like Dr.Seuss Balls, kids love balls to play with Big Wheels, a nice step before a regular bike Okay, I could keep going, but I'll put stuff in the product recommendation, if I recommend it, it is something my boys have and love or at least very similar...

Books! I am a strong believer in books as gifts for young children. The toys come and go--they'll remember the books for a much longer time, you'll get mileage when the younger siblings get to be a bit older--and even now--I've never seen a child who doesn't like to sit on someone's lap and either read a book or have it read to him or her!

I recently attended a birthday party for a young child and he received probably 40 toys, almost all were the Thomas type--I was the ONLY one there who gave him books (plus a small bag of nerf-like balls) and his mom was thrilled (the child of course was overwhelmed by everything by the time it came to opening presents! ). So--the trains, etc, make for great photos, but the books are remembered forever.

I chose two books from the Corduroy series--the original and then the latest. I figured if he already had the original, the mom could return it; I thought it unlikely he had the very latest in the series. Turns out he had none.

BTW, when my grandson was about 3, I bought him not only the Corduroy book but also a Corduroy bear. He's 9 now and even though it isn't cool when the friends are visiting, at night he still "plays" with Corduroy bear (and would never in a million years admit it, but his mom told me! ).

The Dr. Seuss series is still also a favorite of most children I know. Good luck!

Fake Foods/Cook Sets are fun Yes, boys really like to play with this stuff too. I like the wooden sets that they can "cut" the food pieces up. Here is a link so you can see what I mean: sensoryedge.com/prplfo.html I bought my friends son a chef hat, apron, oven mitt and pot set and he just loves it.

These are very inexpensive and gets LOTS of playtime! Hasbro puts out these little "chubby" action figures...I believe they started with Star Wars because that's what we collected first, then they came out with Spiderman, other Marvel superheroes, Fantastic 4 figures, and now Transformers. (They are for 3 yrs.

And up, most most of them do not have small pieces. Just a few of the sets have items you can remove. ) You've probably seen these in the stores.

I buy ours at Target, but have seen them in Walmart for the same price. Around $6 for two figures. My son has been playing with these figures since he was 3 and is now 5 -- and just loves them!

Check them out...if he is interested, watch out! They are easy to collect lots of them! (I just like how they're small & can fit small plastic storage boxes with no problem.

I'm so sick of big toys taking over the house! My son has to earn "marbles" for them by doing jobs around the house. ) mightymite's Recommendations Marvel Super Hero Squad Human Torch vs. Silver Surfer Marvel Super Hero Squad Thing & Mole Man Spider-Man Super Hero Squad Spider-Man vs. Rhino .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
