Scooter?
A teepee / playhouse for the garden?
Not sure about the bike thing, we already have a wheelybug, scuttle bug and mum got him a scooter as an early birthday resent and he doesn't really use any of them
To be fair our garden is pretty hilly and wonky! A playhouse is actually a fabulous idea but we dont' want to buy one we want to build one from wood so not an option in less than 3 weeks really. It has given me a thought though - I wonder if I could make him a cute inside tent thing to play in that can be easily folded away, something like this:
wouldn't really take too long then I could do a proper play house / tipi for outside in the spring. Thanks that is a good idea spark @sim
The other thing I wanted to do and forgot about was a horse head on a stick thing (he lllloooooooovves horses!) and a dinosaur dress up tail as I've seen gorgeous tutorials for them. I think I need to get out my machine!

Balance bike
Duplo (autocorrect suggests diplomats)!!!
Instruments
Play dough cutters
More track/trains
He already has a garden pull along thing (although maybe a wheelbarrow not bad idea as well - might bribehim with one in the spring when we need to be out there alot!
Duplo - actually a really good idea - we have a box of crap stuff but he has just started playing with it so might get him some proper stuff.
Instruments - check - he loves them - got him a great wooden set from Lidl last Christmas with triangle, tamborine, marraccas and he is currently laying his (proper and quite good - was Louis) harmonica so not sure we need any others (unless I'm missing an obvious one LOL!).

Bingo
- he loves lay Doh and I have no cutters / activities or anything - thanks @autumnalgirl
Would it be bad to give him a Trofast storage unit to keep all his toys in
SO list so far:
books - already have some on order and some wraped including Christmassy ones
- Play doh cutters
- Duplo set (will be collecting the old stuff of the boys when I go back to Oz in March so he'll be getting loads then)
- try to get time to make:
- a tent,
- a dino tail
- a horse stick thing
Really at 2 I dont' think he needs much more than that (especially on the back of his birthday
