Anyone have any good ideas? DS is turning 4 and his list is really small - lol - puzzles and a water bottle! i know i shouldn't be complaining but I need some ideas. What are your 4 yr old boys into?

DS is also loves trains. Geotrax are huge here too.
Top toys in our home for a 4 1/2 year old boy:
Legos
Geotrax trains
Board Games (Zingo, Candy Land, Castle Logic, Connect 4, Twister, Memory)
Leap pad (games we like Cars, Mr. Pencil, Pixar Pals)
art supplies
books (first readers, chapter books for me to read to him)
Sports equipment (football, baseball with glove/plates, basketball, hoop, soccer ball, yoga mat)
Winter toys (sled)
Summer toys (swing set)
Melissa and Doug Pirate Treasure Chest
Big Wheel or bike (alternatively a Plasma Car toy - we don't have that one but it is popular)

ETA: I think the Angry birds board game might be fun too. Other good ones for this age: Clue Jr., Monopoly Jr., Rush Hour Jr.)

Cootie is a good one. Find the Sock Monkey is fun. Hungry Hungry Hippos. Basically any pre-school game at TRU is likely to be appreciated.

I'm a fan of educational toys. At age 4, they are probably learning numbers, reading and writing.

DS got a Crayola camera for Christmas and really loves it!

Imaginext toys by Fisher Price are a good bet, too.

There are some nice boy themed Crayola art kits as well.
