DS has a birthday coming up and I'm looking for ideas! I looked at the old threads and blog posts but thought I'd start a new one since new items are always coming out.

My kid loves watercolors. He has a very fuzzy idea how they work, but he still has a good time.
He also loves the fancy art supplies he's not allowed yet, because I'm sick of fishing my favorite pencils out from under the couch.
-
Paint, markers, glue sticks, glue, collages, glitter, crayons.
-
Gonna follow this, I'm curious for ideas for my almost 2 year old as well. Mine is mostly into art right now - markers, crayons, coloring books, etc. Also starting to pretend play a bit. We got the Hape Toys Ice Cream set in a Citrus Lane box the other day and she loves it, so we'll be getting some more of similar pretend play toys. Hape makes some amazing ones.
-
@Mrs. Carrot: yes to all the pretend play toys. my girl still loves that stuff at almost 5yo. so many other things just get forgotten.
-
Play doh is a huge favorite here. I also got some pipe cleaners and fuzz balls to mix it up...
-
Stamps! (and washable ink )
-
@Seanettle: What kinds do you have? My kiddo loves stamps but everything I could find at Michaels/craft stores was boring.
-
@Mrs. Carrot: @andthewildones: Yes! The pretend play toys are some I'm specifically interested in and lookin for recommendations for. He has gotten so imaginative lately and I'd like things that feed off of that!
-
I got letters, and cars/trains...it was a set at the toystore. Grandma got sports stamps at Michaels that weren't as popular. I think it was more the act and the colors that were the draw not the actual stamp subject.
-
Anything with wheels or a ball (any kind).
Art supplies would be a pen or marker on paper.
-
All paint! Finger paint, water colors, chalk. Oh and this isn't totally art related but target has sticker work books and DD loves them.
-
Toys: Trucks, trucks, and more tracks! Wagons, anything he can push or pull. Play kitchen, blocks.
Art supplies: paint, glitter, glue, markers and crayons
-
Wooden cutting food is great, as are the Green Toys pizza and sandwich making sets.
-
If you don't have a wooden train set this is a great age to start! Also some simple puzzles, trucks and Magnatiles and/or Lego duplo for building.
-
Loving all of these ideas!!
-
Art-wise my 2 year old loves chalk, any kind of painting and play doh. The messier the better is his philosophy. He also likes stickers.
Toy-wise he's 100% obsessed with trains right now so most other toys don't stand a chance. However building blocks/Legos sometimes catch his attention as well as pretend play stuff (especially food/cooking toys). -
Chalk, markers, play doh (we also got him an art easel for his 2nd birthday which he loves). As far as non-art toys, he LOVES trucks, cars, tractors, and airplanes. Another big hit has been a musical instrument set which he plays with almost every day.
-
E loves to paint. She adores painting sponges to stamp with, especially star shapes!
-
We got DS a train set for his second birthday, and it's one of his most played with toys. He also got a sand box with sand toys and he loves it.
