In my experiences with my grandson here is my suggestion. Being he is in transisiton mode with moving and living with someone else, how about a nice stuffed animal, medium size, that he can hug and love and it can be a bit of security for him. My grandson is 7 now and he still takes his stuff to bed with him as he has had lots of moves and new starts in his life. He also has a special blanket he uses to fall asleep with and hug.....

I don't have kids or grandkids, but I have 10 neices and nephews that I'm very close to and when they were that age, they loved to build things. Legos (the bigger style blocks) were a big hit. You can always help him build something with them - allowing you to spend some time with him. Also, DVD's were always a big hit. They watch the same show/movie over and over again - it drives you crazy!!!

all good ideas...the gift of time would be the most wonderful since we live so far away ...just getting to the 2 hour party is going to be an adventure in itself....
this child has about any toy made- the ones he doesn't have are the ones not made yet....and his mommy is a kinder care director so the edcuational aspects are pretty much taken care of...as well as grannie and grampa are educators....
dvd's- again- the ones he doesn't have harve yet to be made... can we say spoiled????????
i guess i'll just have to look til something hits me right...
i do appreciate all of the ideas...stuffed animals are oput due to allergies and his perfect grannie on the other side has made him blankets etc--and pretty much insists which ones are used while there.....there is more to this than is being said.....

for my 3 year old grandsons birthday , i bought him 6 pair of different super hero underpants and a sticker system for when he went to bathroom....he was thrilled for the picture underpants. lol who would have thought but i didnt know what to get him either. oh yeah i ran across a whole big box of matchbox cars at a garage sale cost was 5.00 for about 100 dollars worth of cars. i brought them home and checked them all out put them back in the box and wrapped it. you would have thought i spent a fortune on him. lol

Hi Margo
My grandson , who just turned 3, loved the big trucks I got him. (One was a crane, the other a dump truck). Tonka trucks will last forever and provide endless hours of fun. I also got him a tshirt with Elmo on it, as Elmo has been his favorite Sesame Street character for awhile.
He also likes playdough, and transformer action figures.
