3yo boy in full body cast - entertainment ideas needed!

Oh poor little man, I would get plenty of DVD sets of shows that he enjoys!

My 4 year old son broke his femur last year. He wasn't in a cast but was in a wheelchair for 8 weeks (he had TENS placed in his bone).

It was really hard to keep him occupied but he found use in a Nintendo DS, maybe your friends little boy could borrow a Leapfrog hand held game or similar. Colouring and things were difficult at times as he would try to balance a tray on his wheelchair but it was awkward. The other thing was watching DVD's or ABC kids. I found that through his injury he did get tired a lot easier than before.

Oh my gosh poor mite. Bubble blowers, threading cards and spools, Duplo, puzzles, paint, glue/art activities, read along books and CDs.

Thanks everyone! We went with a play dough farm set that makes animals, a magnetic fishing game and some books of things to do with kids. He loved them. He is doing well.
