I dont know if you use amazon, but theres quite a few toddler truck toys for under $15 (or slightly over). Heres one that I thought was kinda nifty! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012WE829M/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_ZnT2DbG2QHY9A
So many (non-electronic) Duplos. For a while we removed some of the cylindrical pieces/things with wheels because G would just spin the wheels or roll the cylinders across the floor instead of building anything, but he is more engaged with them now. Wooden trains (specifically ones without any batteries, etc.) with a ton of track to make crazy loops - these had to be supervised play only for a while until he figured out how to connect pieces on his own and fix the tracks when they came apart without instantly getting frustrated and throwing them. We have Magformers (similar to magnatiles) but they were supervised play only for a long time because G would just obsessively line them up and then stick them on the front of the dishwasher. After a lot of directed play, he now builds houses for his little Sesame Street characters and other things, so we’ll let him play more independently with them. He’s got a play kitchen with lots of play food too, but it took a lot of directed play with his therapists for him to actually engage in pretend play instead of rolling balls in the kitchen cabinets over and over. I also got some additional fabric food that resembles some of the foods he regularly eats (fruits, hot dog, bread/toast) which I think helped as well.
One of his big favorites when he was a little younger is the Melissa & Doug shape sorting truck: https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Doug-Shape-Sorting-Colorful-Figures/dp/B012WE829M/ We used the shapes with his therapist to work on his speech, and eventually shapes and colors, and he was automatically interested in it because trucks are a big obsession.
