Present for a 3 year old

[ISeeDeadDandelions]

My DD will be 3 in a couple of months, and I have no clue what to get her (or tell anyone else when they ask). So if your DC has turned 3 in the last year or so, what did you get them that's been a good buy?

She has so much stuff already I can't think of anything other than books!

Something for outdoors if you have room. A little slide or seesaw?

outdoor toys are always good. you could look at a bike? one with stabilizers, so she can learn to peddle etc and then you can take them off x

Playdough and tools
How about a subscription to a toucan box?
Brio/duplo

Sand pit
Paddling pool
Aqualock water play system
Dolls house
Toy farm
Shopping basket, trolley and plastic food
Fancy dress clothes
Pop up play tent

She already has a slide and is more interested in digging soil than playing on it now 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'll look into the toucan box, not heard of that before.

I like the dolls house/farm idea, might go with that, thanks! Not spending a lot as she gets plenty from others and I'm sure I'll be taking her out for the day, just feel I have to get her something too...

Peppa pig kitchen went down a storm, keeps her really entertained.

Barbie motorhome

A membership to a local attraction - we use ours all the time.

Got DD a scooter. She loves it. She's obsessed with animals so took her to the zoo too.

If she likes digging soil (a child after my own heart - I was never clean!) there are lots of cute little garden tools around at the moment.

Anything house / castle / farm like with people / animals in. Playmobil and duplo have a been huge hit here and continue to be at nearly 4

Outdoor water table has served us well for 2+ years; if she likes digging, how about turning a small patch of garden into a mud kitchen / her own garden and get her something to go in it?

if she likes digging, maybe a little pack of seeds and a small corner of garden?

If she enjoys being outside and digging, how about a mud kitchen for the garden?

How about a mud kitchen if she likes digging? I wish I had got my girls One when they were younger but we loved in a small flat.

Favourites for my girls was busy books (book with playmat and 12 figures - there's so many different ones!)

happyland, imaginext and playmobil are good too. Mine loved small world play.

Character toys/clothes/bedding - there's always a new favourite. Think it was Disney toy story/lilo and stitch and paw patrol for mine around 3.

Duplo especially a set with a slide part.

Dressing up costumes my daughter around 3 spent most of her time as Anna from frozen or Skye from paw patrol 😂

At that age I started the snow globe tradition too, they get a new one for their shelf each year.

My DD turned 3 last month and we got her a scooter and dolls' house (wooden one reduced from £50 to £40 online in Asda at the moment). PIL got her a combination sand/water table and her baby brother got her some kinetic sand.

Brilliant, thank you all! Some great suggestions, I'll get looking into then today 😁

Both ds and dd loved Happyland. There's 6 years between them and dd inherited a load from ds which has been added to. She's almost 6 now and still plays with it so it was worth the money.

Baby Annabelle, drinks and wees. Costs about £50.

DS is just about to turn four, and over the past year, the most used present have been:
Balance bike
Giant slide
Tepee
Paper & crayons

£2 paintbox from Flying Tiger and a ream of A4 copy paper from the post office have been the most popular lately but she also loves her scooter (with flashing lights), Duplo and the sandpit.

Brio or other wooden railway brands? That’s by far our best £/use toy.
