My kid loved sticks and rocks as a toddler/preschooler
Put some of those in a box and they’ll be in heaven.

A sack of dried beans.

We had a toy cement mixer truck that you could load with beans and have the beans extruded from the trough. Some pre-schools have sensory play stations that have dry rice or beans.

I've always remembered an "America's Funniest Home Video" where a toddler opens a package to find a fancy dress on a plastic hanger and shrieks "I got a hanger!!" with glee as she holds it up and the dress falls to the floor.

Here is something my kid brought from preschool and loves:

Take a toilet paper tube, fill it with beans (not all the way). Shut the two ends with duct tape and you have your own homemade maraca.

Stickers. My 2-year-old niece loves to put stickers all over herself. Doesn't matter what is on them, she just loves to peel and stick them.

I was going to say this! Yo can put a tiny McDonald’s toy in it if they have something he likes. I don’t know what it is about those stupid cheap toys that my kids love.

My mom kept a bunch of my favorite things from the 80s and there were 2 McDonald’s toys in that box, so I loved those toys too.

Anything that sticks. Stickers, bandaids, tape, post it notes, you get the idea.
