Need some ideas please, both boys. I tend to buy stuff they already play with so there is not much variety.

What we have

Paw Patrol & Pj Masks - vehicles & characters. Are the big hqs etc worth it?

Thomas trackmaster tracks & a few sets

Lots of brio, lego, dinosaurs & disney cars stuff.

Craft stuff that includes hema, art supplies, mosaic, stamps.

Playmobil- have a few bits but they don't play with much

Wooden stuff, kitchen, chopping food, grimms blocks

Could probably buy some more games & puzzles but I struggle to find ones above 60 pieces that aren't too big if that makes sense.

Ive bought some imaginext super hero's & those magnet plastic things but not sure what to go for. Any other suggestions of fantastic toys I missing?

your 3yo might enjoy this paw patrol 'tablet' (not really a tablet!). kids tend to enjoy this explorer kit, particularly if you take them on 'adventure walks' (basically a regular walk but you take the kit with them)

Thank you, that explorer kit is a fab idea!

A Wobbel board.
Plan toys “stilts”- really cups that they walk on.
Dressing up box.
Bath crayons.
Orchard Toys games.

Marble run? My 4 and 7 DSs have enjoyed it for the last few years!
Toy till? The John Lewis Waitrose one looks good!
Bath toys? my two like the wow toys boats and bath bombs.
Bought my two character onesies this year too (I normally avoid character clothing!)

If I think about the most played with toys in my house (boys 4 and 6) they are duplos (massive box of them), board games (esp. Picturika is loved by both), hot wheels tracks, wooden play shop with a till, Playmobil pirate ship, playdough sets.

Marble run - the galt brand one not the cheaper versions, a brilliant toy for kids to play with together.
