Shaving cream with a drop of food coloring on a tray. Also long, thin sticks to drag through sand (or he could just use his finger).

I know you are talking about math, but for spelling....those foam alphabet mats that link together with lots of teeth (usually found in preschool or kindgergarten rooms) can be used for spelling games. Hop to the various letters and say the letters aloud to spell the words.

Math blocks and tiles are great for kinesthetic learners because they are moving the blocks and tiles to represent the problem (three groups of two for example) and seeing it visually as well. I got my set in college, so I'm not sure where you would get them

I suppose you could use buttons in a pinch.

Oh, and also alphabet magnets. Some cookie sheets are magnetized.

An abacus might be fun.

Actually, stringing different colored large wooden beads might work well for addition. Three red, two blue etc.
