3 year birthday present ideas?
Ds will be turning 3 in a few weeks, and I have no idea what to get
him, not to mention giving ideas to relatives (who are starting to ask - I don't suggest gifts to people who aren't asking!) It seems like he has most things already, and since we've already been letting him play with things with small pieces, I'm not sure what else gets to be a new thing. He's got a tricycle (ok at it, but has a hard time on the gentle slopes that are like hills to him). He's got a sandbox and oodles of toys for it, bats & balls of all types, toy vehicles of all types it seems, an easel and related art stuff, a toy kitchen, blocks. Little People - lots of those. (Probably tons more things I'm missing) He hates dressup. What am I missing? Just about the only thing I can think of is a taller basketball hoop. Or, more vehicles - but that's just more of the same, as far as I'm concerned. Or books & videos. Any ideas? Irene |

How about a nice wooden train set and a train table? Or if you have a big
backyard and planning to spend a considerable amount on the present, get him a Little Tikes 8-in-1 climber. It would be nice to have your boy spend most of his summer outside, that way, he won't be making a mess inside the house. Just a suggestion. Bessie "Irene" wrote in message om...

DD got a blue's clues sprinkler when she turned 1, from my brother. She loves the darn thing (she's now 3) except she wont let us use it as a sprinkler - its one of her 'babies'. Currently wearing a bib and sleeping under a receiving blanket. But a very good suggestion! When my dd turned 3 we bought her a My First LeapPad. Brilliant toy, as you can add the books for gifts at christmas and other birthdays. Emma really likes her leappad too. And for computer software, she likes the Dora the Explorer games. To Irene: We got Emma a tricycle but you said Tom has one. Do you have a wagon? We bought one of those a few months ago and she really likes it for going to the park. Other hits for her this year: One of those tracing things (her's is Dora, but crayola makes one too, it has a light and you put a sheet with a design on it covered with blank paper, the light shines through and they can trace). She's on a Dora kick so anything Dora was a hit. She's really into board games, Candyland and Hi Ho Cherry'os. She's been getting alot of milage from a memory game we got from Hearthsong (fabulous catalog - you could peruse there and see tons of things you like). Oh, and the other thing she really liked was from Lego http://tinyurl.com/yt22l She loves this! Have fun... Mary |

The store.babycenter.com site categorizes toys by age and type, and has
best selling toy lists by age and type. You can just get ideas from there, but I have bought stuff there that I couldn't find in the regular stores. I just bought my 3 yr old cousin a tape recorder that has a microphone and a voice warp feature and he seems to like it! You can try this link, but it may not work as i had to sign in (to my free account) to get to this page http://store.babycenter.com/bestsell...requestid=6932 -kim |

What am I missing? Just about the only thing I can think of is a taller basketball hoop. Or, more vehicles - but that's just more of the same, as far as I'm concerned. Or books & videos. Books, books, books. Art supplies (at that age, mainly crayons or paint with water probably.) I have no problem with clothes for a birthday present - point the relatives to a gap in his wardrobe and the appropriate size. Or some buying ahead for Fall. Lesley |

How about a nice wooden train set and a train table? That was included in the "vehicles" category that he already has. ;-) Well, not the table - we have a big rug in the basement which is the area for layouts. Or if you have a big backyard and planning to spend a considerable amount on the present, get him a Little Tikes 8-in-1 climber. It would be nice to have your boy spend most of his summer outside, that way, he won't be making a mess inside the house. A swingset/climbing set is definitely something I'd like to get him, if it were in the budget. :-( We almost got one as part of a deal with a client, but it seems to have fallen through...But if enough people pay us before his birthday, maybe we'll go for it! g Just a suggestion.

It's been so cold, I've forgotten about these sorts of things! Thanks! When my dd turned 3 we bought her a My First LeapPad. Brilliant toy, as you can add the books for gifts at christmas and other birthdays. That's a possibility. He sometimes plays with one at daycare, though he doesn't quite do it right yet. Does he play on your computer? I'm thinking toddler or preschool software activities might be good. Another good idea. I keep forgetting - dh really wanted to get him his own computer to bang on, though again, that is out for budget reasons. :-( Thanks. Irene |
