What would my 2¾ DS love as a main present?

[milk]

No idea what to buy him, any ideas?

He already has Duplo and doesn't like it much :(

TIA :)

Leappad?
Mini micro scooter?

What's your budget?I bought a train table from Toys R Us compatible with Brio wooden track/wooden Thomas etc and my 2 older boys love it,they are now 2.5 and 4.Was about £100 I think.

Can a 2¾ actually use a leappad?

Mine had a garage at similar age which he loved, especially sending cars down a spiral ramp and winding the lift up and down, played with it loads

My DS is the same age. They're all very different at that age so it depends what they are interested in. My DS adores Duplo for example. But his most favourite thing in the whole wide world is playing his sister's ukulele while using the leg of his upturned highchair as a microphone. He makes up all sorts of songs. So we've bought him a microphone, a toy guitar and an amp thing. It was £10.99 and he will absolutely adore it. He'd also love love love a scooter but we usually have a £5 present limit and we've already doubled that.

He loves (some of these are at toddlers)....

The lego
Toy garages and cars
Dressing up
Toy iron and ironing board
Puzzles
Ride-on tractor
Play shop
Pretend food

My ds is the same age and he is getting wooden train track, Tesco online have a good starter version for around £12 and very easy to add to later if he takes to it.

What about happyland stuff? ds has had the rocket for a while and it gets played with nearly every day.

Orchard games and puzzles, Playdough, play food, toy farm, various cars and vehicles are other things he plays with a lot at the moment.

Toy kitchen
Happyland or playmobil 1-2-3
Dressing up stuff
Play shop
Mini micro scooter
Balance bike
Megabloks Thomas the tank engine sets
Easel with chalkboard & magnetic sides

I'm getting mine a balance bike as a main pressie

Im getting my almost 3yo a bike. She has a leap lad type thing and loves it. Very simple to use.

MikeLitoris which one?

Balance bike or some construction tools and dress up stuff.

No idea tbh

We were in halfords last week and she refused to get off a minnie mouse one with doll seat on the back so possibly something like that.

Whatever is on offer in Dec probably.

A selection of dressing up hats

Our DS is getting an Isla bike for his third birthday next month, we are getting him this one.
He currently has the balance bike and it's been great.

mine is the same age....his main Christmas gift is a costume box this year.

his 2nd b-day gift was a kitchen and it gets played with every single day if you don't already have one

Mine is also getting some instruments (guitar, tin whistle, recorder, violin) and I'm looking for a nice sturdy back-hoe/digger truck

FixItUpChappie where are you getting the instruments from?

We are going for a kitchen, the ikea one and asking GP etc to buy pots, pans etc. for the last couple of years he has had just clothes so this is his first "present" for him to play.

Balance bike. Best thing I ever bought DS.

A childrens tool bench went down very well with my dds when thay were that age.

Balance bike, perfect for that age.

iPod touch
Wow toys
123 Playmobil
Wooden Railway

Dd has just turned 3 she loves

Her baby and buggy
Cars and garage
Scooter

I've been picking them up here and there but it probably won't mean much to you as I'm not in the UK .

DD is getting the ikea play kitchen and some toy food etc - would he play with that?
