Toy suggestions for a 4 yr old boy who destroys everything?
I don't even want him to have any more toys but in-laws insist on buying them for Christmas. He likes dinosaurs, robots, Blaze, Paw Patrol, Super Wings. But is more into his own science experiments with water etc. Any science kits for 4 yr olds? I also have a 1.5 yr old so afraid of small pieces lying around... TIA

Wow, your DS sounds advanced doing science experiments so young! Though it didn't have experiments per se, my kids liked the Learning Resources Science lab set. It has lab equipment like goggles, beakers, magnifying glasses, tweezers etc. in plastic kid friendly sizes. We did our own experiment mixing baking soda and vinegar for example.

I was going to suggest this set also. Dd got it for her 4th birthday and loves it. Ours actually did come with instructions for some experiments. We usually do one or two experiments and then she spends a good hour just playing with water and all the pieces. They're well made and no small pieces.
I got another little experiment kit from amazon for Christmas but haven't opened it yet. I've seen it at Barnes and Noble and acmoore recently.
We also put the fp code a pillar on her list. It's basically kid friendly computer programming. Last year she was dead set on a microscope so we got her that with some extra slides.
DH got her a sphero robot which she loves. It's a little sphere shaped robot controlled with a tablet. She loves that.

They have monthly boxes that come with experiments. I got a few of them for my nephew who is obsessed with being a scientist. They are super cute.

We got magic science as a gift which was awesome. A big hit was a stomp rocket.

Check out Seedling and Lakeshorelearning, oh FatBrain toys, too. My kids love everything they've gotten from these sites. Like Gina, my kids got some science stuff for their birthday- the butterfly nursery is great! They get caterpillars that spin cocoons and hatch into butterflies
