Good, but twisted toy for a 2 year old boy... Need suggestions...

My nephew is about to turn 2, and I need to keep my record going. I'm essentially the black sheep in my family, especially when it comes to giving presents. For my nephews 1st birthday, everyone else got him teddybears, or stuffed dogs. I got him a stuffed scorpion and a 8 foot long stuffed snake. He loves em, and won't sleep without his "nake" and "corpon."

I've been kinda busy this year, and haven't been keeping up on my toy research, and ideas for something for a 2 year old?

Sharks are cool. My 3 year old loves his stuffed shark, which he got on a trip to Sea World. We thought he'd be scared, or be more interested in Shamu or the dolphins or tropical fish, but he's all about the sharks. Now he loves the music from Jaws (though he hasn't seen the movies, he knows what sharks are all about from watching Shark Week) or anything at all even remotely shark-related.

As the black sheep auntie (but the kids love me), I'd suggest toys that make noise, but don't require batteries...

::smiles:: what you really need to get him are two books writen by Neil Gaiman- Wolves in the Walls and The Day I swaped my dad for two goldfish.
These are wonderfuly writen books that are illistrated a little on the dark side. Perhaps you should wait a year or two though with the reason being that now he won't know better if they are taken away, never to be seen again.

Too late, already got him the book and the stuffed animal from "wWhere the Wild Things are" it was my favorite as a kid.

I don't think he's quite old enough for those two neil gaiman books, I already have them and think they're just a bit beyond a 2 year old.

You might not want to "scar" the kid ... but being the father of a three year old I don't think some of these are too bad:

Um, I love Mark Ryden, and own that book, but that is not an appropriate "toy" for a 2 year old.

If you're going for something offbeat, how about something that is alive? How about a hamster in a cage? They're pretty friendly with kids too. Another thing that my kids loved was a live butterfly garden (http://store.yahoo.com/insectlore/liveinsects.html).

If you just want to piss his parents off, get him a barbie doll.

I ended up getting Cinko, The Ugly Doll from Pinkie's post for my almost 2 year old daughter. Hopefully, it will get along with Cthulhu.
