My 3 yearold is turning 4 on march 14 and let me tell you boys love anything to do with dirt and getting dirty.lol. Dump trucks, cars, the shovels and things you can get to go to the beach my boys use those outside to play with in the dirt. a small pool might be nice to for the summer. I would tell ya just to wrap up a stick and give it to him but that might be dangerous at his age. I think my boys would rather play with that anyway. Good Luck!!
