I need help with any suggestions of what your 3 year olds love. My DS is only into cars, diggers, Paw Patrol, cars, cars, Paw Patrol, more cars and the odd bus. There must be something else I can get him!

Following for ideas and also, are you actually in Cornwall still, Cornish Gem? Love the idea of a toy-swap to refresh their stashes!

Mine is just about to turn 3 and loves fiddly things he can 'problem solve' e.g. gears - he found Downfall at my mum's house (remember that?) And spends aaaaaages turning the little wheels to get the counters through. Anything like that appeal to yours?

Sounds just like my DS. He's nearly 5 now though. Loves big floor puzzles, kinetic sand, Lego, marble run, magnetic tiles too.

Another vote for Duplo here. Wooden train set and the figures/accessories that come with it (from a very cheap supermarket). A few jigsaws age 3+ (favourite characters).

My DS is also 3 and also very passionate about cars, diggers and Paw Patrol! There's only so many die cast cars and plastic diggers one boy has room for in his life though so I've gone a bit off piste but staying with the theme.
Main gifts as follows:

  • big wooden garage with racing ramp
  • Melissa and Doug car dashboard
  • Playmobil campervan

Also things like the Kinetic Sand digger set, Lightning McQueen jogging suit and suitcase, Paw Patrol Scalectrix, road rug and checkered flags and bunting for his room have also gone down well in the past. Got him tickets to the Hot Wheels show last year and he loved that. I tend to leave it to other family members to supply seemingly endless quantities of model cars and diggers 🙈
