-Playmobil (not the chunky toddler ones) any and all, farm, real people (no pirates and other violent stuff, prefer no sport stuff either) houses, boats, cars, people, animals... he doesn't have any at all and I think he'd love them
- a realistic barn and tractor, metal/plastic/wood, whatever. We got him a little bag of plastic realistic farm animals at the dollar store and he loves them and wants tractor/barn to go with them, other animals, farmer, hay stacks and whatever else too, hehe. The animals he has are 2" max (for the horse and bull) He's extremely good at taking care of his toys, so even something delicate or cheap will last forever with him.
