If you want something cheap and useful for preschoolers, I'd suggest that you invest in a laminator and then Google for 'busy bags'. There are lots of printables available online for you to print and laminate. Rotate amongst these busy bags which are cheap and educational options for kids, and are extremely handy when travelling and in restaurants.

I would suggest maybe get something that helps in fine motor skills. For example tying or threading. Fine motor skills is very important for young children as it would help a lot in the future for their grip for pencils. A lot of children nowadays does not have the correct grip for pencil as they are not used to it or have poor fine motor skills.

You can try out toys rental at ToysTribe before committing the purchase. But generally go for open-ended toys like building toys (Lego, Magnatiles etc), marble runs (kids love these!) or toys that allow play pretend (farm animals). These toys will grow with the kids without them being bored as the play evolves and becomes more complex.
