We bought Harrison a drum kit for his 2nd birthday.
Harrison loves music and the drum kit was really cheap ($25 or so from Toys R Us)
He plays it every day and it is great. Not so great if you're not into toys that make loads of noise, but it could be fun outside too.
a ride on car or motorbike- you can get them for around $50 and they are ace!
What about swimming lessons, or some other type of activity?
We got our twins a swing set for the 2nd birthday
We would like to get him a trainset with one of those tables you get for them to go on.
Some kids cooking stuff i.e apron, bowl, spoon, cookie cutters etc
swing set or outside play equip
another thing I'm going to make soon is get some cheap wood and Phil will get a jigsaw from work I'll draw on different shapes (big ones) like a car etc then cut them out, paint them with blackboard paint (u can buy small tins at spotlight for about $13) and attach them to the fence outside to play with
Paints for finger painting etc
To anyone's child turning 2 i always suggest a 'Chalkboard board with a magnetic board on the otherside' ... my DD a year later still loves playing with her one
Usually chalkboards come with chalk but not the thick chalk sticks so also buy a tub of THICK chalk as it doesn't break like the thinner ones ... can get them at The Reject Shop or any cheapy shop under $2
Also / or a Playdough Table Set which comes with heaps of tubs of playdough, shape cutters, etc ... They are usually about $50 but sometimes on special at BigW for under $35
