Also a friend of ours just gave us a Leap Pad. They have story books as well as learning books for the kids to read. If you get the Leap pad for elementary kids with the books that open side to side and not top to bottom they will work for all the Leap pad books even up through the quantum leap pad books. Yeah it's very pricey to start with but now that I've seen my daughter using it and enjoying it so much I wish I'd gotten one sooner. It just takes AA batteries so no special batteries and these seem to have lasted a while already.
My daughter also loves her tap player for kids. I got her some ear buds too so that I don't have to hear it all the time and she loves using them. She's got several tapes that she enjoys.
I also have a large assortment of stickers and I've saves the Christmas stamps from different organizations. Then I got her a bunch of smaller envelopes, construction paper, scissors, and she makes letters for everyone. She plays mailman then and passes them out to her stuffed animals or even my neighbors.
One of her little friends who is 3 1/2 has tons of dinosaurs and plays with them often. He's got some Tonka truck toys that seem to really take a beating from him.
How about a sit-n-spin? A small (one of those little round ones) trampoline? Stuff like that to keep him active indoors.
