DS had a pushchair when he was about 2, he loved piling teddies in it and pushing them about, and covering them with a blanket, and doing sort of nurturing play with them, lasted till he was about 4 ...

A baby, some fetching pink slippers that were dd's, buggy, also he loves dressing up in dd's dressing up clothes and carrying her bags around (usually with a selection of cars and plastic food in them)

I was hoping this was going to be a competitive type of thread because I had high hopes of doing quite well

Do get him one, juicy - I can't forget one little boy in ELC having a lovely time with a blue pushchair and being told "oh gawd, you can't have that what would your Dad say???"

He was 2

my ds had a pram, and my dd is obssessed with thomas, and is after some thomas knickers, which they do not make

DS is enjoying a tiara and a silver glittery cowboy hat at the moment.
In fact I think my carpet now has more glitter on it than the hat.

He particularly likes handbags and dd2's pink Dora pyjamas.

Barbie

Vacuum Cleaner - though that doesn't really count as dh is more likely to use ours than me!
Push Chair & doll
Doll's house

both my ds's had pushchairs and dolls and always played with DD's things too.

Bought DS a stable set a few years back and got quizzed on the way home as to why I thought it would be suitable for a boy

ds has a buggy, he's had is since he was 18 months old and loves taking his bunny, dinosaurs and baby Jesus for walks! He also likes wearing dd's necklaces, bracelets etc.

(we've got 3 buggies actually)

Alliebongo - ds has some Thomas 'knickers' - from M&S.

we bought my ds a sizzlin kitchen from ELC which he loves which isn't too girly. At toddler groups he always plays with the dolls and prams and shopping trollys.

DS2 was bought a buggy by my friend for his 2nd birthday - he loved it! He asked for a doll last Christmas too (which of course Father Christmas delivered!). His favorite colour is pink and at playschool he loves it when they have the 'beauty salon' out.
He is having fun so what does it matter!
As a child I loved my brother's cars...

I don't really like the distinction between boys toys and girls toys either - when I was a child I loved Meccano which was def. considererd a boys toy!

DS loves to play with the doll I bought before he was born to practice nappies on... He hugs and kisses her and squeals with delight when he sees her. He is 13 months.
