Big Gift Ideas for a 4 year old?

[jacksmomma]

Can you help me with some bigger ticket items gift from multiple people for a 4 year old? He already has a bike and swingset. I was thinking maybe a bounce house...anyone have any other suggestions?

How much are you talking?

What about a game system like a Wii or a hand held like a DS and a few games for the system.

What about something like a motorized Jeep?

My kids also have a giant "airplane teeter totter" in our backyard that they got as a joint gift from the grandparents. I am going to post a link to one, but I found it by googling airplane teeter totter. It is a HIT! Every kid between 1 and 12 who comes to our house gravitates to the thing!

A season pass to a local zoo, pool, etc..

TIckets to a circus, disney on ice, sporting event

A class such as gymnastics, ice skating, karate

A budget would really help!

Bouncehouses are really cool, but make sure you have the space to set it up! We "inherited" one from some cousins and it's always a big hit.

I like the idea of season passes to a zoo/museum.

Big wheel, game system... what's the kiddo into?

My DD is 4.5 years old, her favorite gifts: Wii, UB Funkeys (computer game), season pass to Zoo, and John Deer truck.

I agree with the Jeep or a 4 wheeler. Our neighbors have a 4 wheeler for toddlers and it goes up to 5mph on all terrains. You can also control the speed as well with a parent lock. Bounce Houses are fun too.

Since a 4 year old doesn't know what things cost...how about an "average" gift and a savings bond or opening a savings account?

They won't know the difference now and will love it when they are older!
