Advent ideas for 3 year old

Hi,

Is anyone aware of any cool ideas for a 3 year old? He's massively into trains (I have seen the Thomas one but he has so much Thomas stuff I don't think it would be that exciting) and dinosaurs. He also like anything he can build.

Thanks!

The Works have 50% book advent calendars. We love reading before bed so this is a great one for us. We've also bought a rubber ducky one for bath time fun.

A book advent? I went round local charity shops & bought picture books & wrapped them.

Playmobil advent farm from when ds was almost 3 is still being played with now at almost 5, and by his little sister. The lego one from last year was dreadful. I'm making one with mario figures this year - have you considered getting a job lot of brio or a little set and splitting it into 24 bags?

Why was the Lego one dreadful? I was planning on getting it this year.

@SnapdragonToadflax It was the lego city one. It just seemed like a really random assortment of builds that ds was really unimpressed with, and is now in with the bulk lego. He didn't play with them at all. And he's very into lego and building. Possibly the themed ones (marvel etc) are good if they're actually into the themes!

@Blessedbethefruitz Thank you, that's good to know!

@SnapdragonToadflax Hope I didn't spoil your plan! They look really incredible, exciting the the first few days, but then it became - why am I building a bloody lamppost today?!

@Blessedbethefruitz Haha! No it's fine, I was in two minds whether to go with it anyway. Some of the bits do look really poor.

We’re getting 2.5yo DS the playmobil 123 aqua advent calendar with bath toys in.

Nativity advent calendar with doors to open each day. Keep it simple.
