Birthday present ideas for 3 year old DD?

[PFB2]

I have 2 DD's. It's DD2's birthday soon and I'm totally stumped on what to get her. She has loads of toys and with having an older sibling, she also plays with all of her sisters toys. Does anyone have any suggestions.

She's got:

Dolls (cot, carrier, high chair, push chair)
Race track with cars
Easel
Duplo
Train track
Happyland sets
Peppa pig toys
Toy piano
Little cleaning set with mob and brooms etc
Doctors set
Lots of dress up stuff

To name some of her favourites.

Any suggestions welcome ☺️

She also has a play tent thing. Plenty of bikes, scooters etc. A little tykes car.

If I had my choice I wouldn't but any toys as I don't want to be wasteful and they have so much already but equally, I want it to be special for her. It's her first birthday that she'll fully understand.

*buy

Hmm. What's your budget? How about a wobbelboard or a grimms rainbow? Open ended and wooden so less plastic waste at least!

It's so hard isn't it? I have 2 DD's 2&4 dd2 just plays with her sisters old toys and between them both they have so much 🙈 dd4's birthday is in the summer so we always buy her garden toys. Dd2's birthday in November. A month before Xmas. I'm always stumped by what to get her.

I'd suggest a day out but at their age they want to open toys 🙄 and rightly so.

What about a playhouse for the garden, trampoline, or a climbing frame?

Playground chalks? Those water colour magic things (my 3yo loves them). The usborne wipe clean books...

Can you get her something small to open and have a trip out to get the best of both worlds?

Mini micro?

Just get some small token bits, she won't understand the value at that age and then spend the money on day out or annual pass for something (or put it in the bank for when she's older and does understand the value!)

Sticker book
Football (softish one, not a leather one)
Bubbles
Slippers
Something for the garden
Book
Hairbands/clips/ribbon
Teddy

Trampoline
Kitchen
Play house (plastic)

My eldest DD was recently 3 and it was also the first birthday she properly understood.

However she doesn't really understand the concept of having a "big present". So when I asked her what she wanted, she said a doctor kit, and a builder's hat! Got her both of them, plus a couple of jigsaw as she loves them.

When friends asked what she wanted I said to get whatever she likes to play with at their houses! Or alternatively, dressing-up things. So we now have a fully stocked and varied dressing-up box.

Ooo I remember what we got dd for her 3rd birthday. A mud kitchen. Bloody brilliant she plays with it for hours when the weathers nice.

Thanks for all the ideas.

Unfortunately garden toys aren't an option. Our garden is pretty small and we already have quite a big trampoline in there and a slide (trampoline was bought when we lived in our old house which had a bigger garden). It doesn't leave a great deal of room and what little room is left, I want to keep for them to be able to run around.

I'm really liking this wobbel board idea. I've never heard of them but I had a google and they look amazing. DD loves to climb/jump etc so this would be right up her street. Pricey though 😅 but hopefully it would be one of those toys she'd play with for years. I like the fact that the possibilities are only limited by their imagination ☺️

I meant to add, we'll be on holiday on DD's Birthday. Just in the UK but still will be easier not to buy her anything too massive so the wobbel board seems to fit the bill.

Yay. Hope she loves it OP.
