What to get them for Christmas??!!
My 3yo DS (4 in Feb) has an older brother who is 6 and insists that he likes everything the older one likes (Star Wars, Pokémon, Marvel Avengers) but he's really too young to work or understand the toys. I have managed to buy some things which are suitable for both the 3yo and the 6yo so that will avoid fights, but as the 3yo has no interest in more age-appropriate gifts, I'm finding it really hard to think of things for him.
So far I've got hexbugs and 2 different habitats, a digi-pet thing, some cheapo pokemon stuff from aliexpress and some other stocking filler type things like marbles, glow sticks etc. He'd love a hatchimal so I can get that if the bastard things ever come back in stock, but otherwise I'm really stuck for a decent 'big' present' (or a couple of medium ones).
I want to avoid anything too 'babyish' as he'll not bother with it, but I don't want to get him everything his older brother gets because he won't be able to work it and he'll get frustrated and wreck it.
Anyone in a similar situation? What are you getting your 3yos who think they're much older?
