b-day gift for 3 yo boy with special needs...

[ctmom]

I'm looking for ideas for a b-day present for a 3 year old boy with downs syndrome. He has a twin sister that we are also getting a present for, so I don't want to spend too much, maybe $20 per child. I asked the Mom but didn't get any suggestions.

Thanks!

I think some aquadoodle mini mats would be fun along with a separate paint brush, which is a lot easier than the little pen. The pictures have fun characters and come out bright and colorful. Unlike the water wow pads, aquadoodle mats hold up really well to being soaked and dry out quickly.

Another idea is a cape with his initial on it.

Since he has a twin sister, he might like his own little tent hide-out. I've seen spiderman ones all over for around 20 dollars.

a container of play-doh?
or if you don't want to think, a gift card to the bookstore -
a soccer ball (or any kind of ball)

Target had some Thomas tents on sale -
or I saw someone mention somewhere that there were tents on sale.
although different learning levels, my ds (almost 3) loves going in and out of a tent -

Maybe big kid towels (with pictures and/or names embroidered - I like Lands End, though over $20 with monogram) or Sigg water bottles?
