My 2.5 year old son is interested in skating in doses. He likes to ride if I hold him, big time though.
But keep in mind, he's 2.5 and just handing him a balloon can keep him busy for an hour.
He has a little set of drums, a guitar, a bunch of art utensils and the standard baseball, soccer, hockey and basketball (no football) kid stuff though. I'm just putting options there to let him figure out what he's into.
So far the drawing and soccer seem to hold the most interest.
