I'm stumped. If I ask him what he wants he tells me "helicopters and airplanes" but nothing specific.....
He seems to be transitioning from a dinosaur obsession to a racecar/airplane/helicopter obsession....
well he told you didn't he? part of the fun of a 4 year old is they are SO easy to please. just go to the store and pick something cool. he will love it. don't put so much pressure on yourself to find the "perfect" gift. you'll just make it harder on yourself down the line!
My boy loves all things transportation and military. Simple. I buy every camo jeep, airplane, tank, boat and helicopter I can find. He also likes legos and hotwheels. All good choices for a 4 yr old boy.
Hotwheels trick track. It's flexible and easy to put together and later you can buy extensions.
My little guy loves to dress up as super heros. I would buy him a few costumes--superman, spiderman etc.... Now is a great time to buy discounted halloween costumes.
Yes, my boy is into planes. Has been since around age 2. He still is. For past gifts, I gave him a mickey mouse plane toy, plane books, toy planes,plane pajamas, shirts. At that age, he will be happy with anything plane or helicopters in general. When they get older it is more specific. Maybe they have a plane legos ( the bigger block size for younger boys). Too bad the Airplane Movie from Disney won't be out til 2013! My son ( 8) is counting down the days til that one opens! I know that Thomas The Tank Engine has a helicopter I believe named Harold, and their are many selections for him. They may also carry a plane.
My oldest just turned 4. He loves the bigger sized legos (not the huge ones, but the middle sized ones) - we got a Thomas the train megablocks set for his birthday that he loves to use. Also loves train sets with tracks to put together. He likes things that he can put together rather than just play with.
Toy stores are super overwhelming! Good luck!
