Since he likes drawing what about an art kit? The kind with different paints, colored pencils, etc.

Or there's always books, I'm a huge fan of getting books for kids, they can never have too many in my opinion.

What about some reading books, or even coloring books on cars/trucks/etc... what about a little model of a car/truck/train he can put together with either you or your OH. Lots of nice puzzles out there as well, gets them thinking. Some board games. What about a big pack of construction (card) paper, some glue, scissors, glitter sticks, markers, crayons, and then do some activities together. Make cards, Halloween decorations, Christmas pictures, and so on. GL and hope he has a wonderful birthday!

What about Lego ?? I have a son who will 4 in a few weeks time and he is just starting to enjoy the little Lego trucks, cars, trains and helicopters they can build themselves

Lego is good.

Do you have Wilkinsons where you are? If so they do these wooden models and cars etc that the child can paint.
