Apart from a bike each I'm really stuck on what else to get dc for Christmas. The house seems full of toys already Confused.

If you have 3 year olds or young boys any ideas?

Ds loved his imaginext toys the Xmas he was 3. He still enjoys them at 6.

Small Siku tractors etc .

Duplo or magnatiles. Hama beads are super for fine motor skills . You can get them in maxi size for litttle ones.

Don’t go too mad , a bike , a couple of other gifts and a stocking .

Yeah, I second Imaginext. My DD and DS have loved this since they were 3 and 2 respectively. Especially the Batman ones!

Lego is a big hit (mostly Batman) and also the Duplo Batcave (can you see a theme?!).

3 is a great age because you can get all the cool action figures that younger children might choke on.
For my boys 3rd Christmas I got him an eBay bundle of Octonaut figures and gups.
I also second the suggestion of Imaginext-their stuff looks really cool.

I’ve never heard of imaginext! From amazon I can’t really tell what it is, like transformers?? DS(3) loves hot wheels, duplo, playdoh, sandpit, anything outdoorsy. Not ideal for xmas though! But for his bday he got a butterfly house thing where you send off for the caterpillars and watch them turn into butterflies, he liked that! Ummmm..... marble run but hair-raising if you have younger kids too as I’ve found out.

If you want other big things my son's easel gets used a lot. They are also old enough for things with little bits so it's a good age for a dolls house, a till, that sort of thing.

Magformers definitely, my Ds2 got these at 4 years old and still plays with them now at nearly 8yrs old. His 9yr old brother plays with them too.

Other things we bought around that age and are still played with

LEGO
Hape quadrilla marble runs
Big wooden castle with schleich knights and dragons
Wooden kitchen and cash register with food
Fat brain squigz
Playdough (lots)
Double sided easel.

Imaginext and playmobile were pretty much ignored.

An easel is a good shout. Imaginext looks quite cool as well, batman is a big hit at the moment.

We already have a farm that gets with daily along with the play kitchen. I may get a till and some other bits to add to that.

Now I need to figure out what size bike to get Confused
