Hi,my son will be 3 in a few weeks,we're trying to decide what to get him for his birthday.He has loads of toy cars,tractor,all the usual stuff.But what really interests him is stuff like play dough,sand etc,he loves messy stuff if you know what I mean.Is there anything along the lines of play dough that I could get for him,?.I'd rlike to get him something he'd really like, theres only so many diggers and dinosaurs one can buy lol.

Have a look at kinetic sand it might be worth a look.
Does he have a water table?
Or what about this, http://www.smythstoys.com/ie/en-ie/toys/construction-cars/c-422/construction-vehicles/p-11722/wader-cement-mixer-with-hitch/?cmp=cel&trigger=ac

How about the kinetic sand? It's sand you mould like playdoh it's supposed to be great!

I was just about to suggest kinetic/magic sand too. My daughter was given a present of some for her 3rd birthday and she loves it.
She was given a few 200g tubs of different colours and has hours of fun with it. I love it too....very therapeutic. No idea where it was bought from though.
