Are art supplies a good gift to get for a four year old's birthday?

How do I know what to get my grandson for his next birthday? He's turning
four in May, and I'd like to make sure I get him the right kind of gift
for his birthday. His dad (my son) says he likes to play games, read, and
already has tons of toys. Do I...

get him art supplies?

Are art supplies a good gift to get for a four year old's birthday?

yeah I would say so.. my daughter is 4 .. turned 4 last month and we spoil her rotten hehe so werent many toys she wanted so we sp[ent a lot on coloured pens, coloured papers, stickers, pencils, paints etc... she loves it! I think a lot of four yr olds do.. just make sure he doesnt make too much of a mess..our bad buy was pots of glitter..the whole house looks like a christmas decoration! But yeah art stuff is always a good buy, but dont go for expensive adult stuff, the kids supplies are great, hardwaring an fun for him. I'm sure he'll like it!

well I would go to a store and see what he does when you go past the toys looking around my cousin and I would go to wal-mart with my mom and we would go to the toy asile to see what he might like so we would look and he would say cat I like that thats so cool
