3rd birthday present? Hot wheels? Party?

We’re at a bit of a loss.
Is there an easy hot wheels starter kit - I bought a few of the cars, but was surprised they’re not powered.
She likes marble runs and things that go, glow tracks is popular, but she’s not quite old enough to get the full use of it i think?

Any recs for a remote controlled car?
Or any other ideas I’ve missed?
Also if anyone has any party ideas I’d be grateful - big sister has bigged up the party that happens when you’re three, but obviously that can’t happen.

Transformers. DS got into the simple ones at that age.

She might like Hex Bugs if you put the track together for her.

Oooh. We’ve got some hexbugs that used to be mine, we could get some extra stuff to go with them!
Thanks.
We got a couple of transformers at xmas perhaps I should dig them out & see if she’s interested. Although one of them I couldn’t put together Blush

The hot wheels track is fiddly for a three year old but will last. We got a kit at about same age, with a couple of different mechanised starting points that zoom the cars off (so technical aren't I?!). Better that they aren't powered in my opinion, no batteries to replace.
Magnets/ magnetic building blocks were another big hit with mine.
We have done two lockdown birthdays with just us and lots of games and treats with a promise of a party 'later'.

Does she have a scooter? Our DD got hers at 3 and has really enjoyed it.

You can buy parts of the track separately, at 3, my DS loved his hot wheels track with a jump. Still plays with it now.

How about magformers? The magnetic building blocks and agree with a PP, the transformers keep them busy for ages.

The wooden train sets from Lidl are good, DGS (2.11mo) is obsessed with his.

DS got something very similar for his 2nd bday, it was too tricky then but he loved it at 3.

I typed "glow in the dark race track" into google, you can find them on amazon.

Thanks for all suggestions, some good ideas here, I don’t know what’s become of my brain during lockdown! 😂
