What to buy DD for 3rd Birthday?

4 replies

CatLadyToddlerMother · 11/04/2018 17:53

Newly a single parent, but it's DDs birthday in just over 10 weeks time so need to start getting ready. She will be 3.

She has loads of toys and books which she doesn't really play with. She has a developmental delay so is more like a just turned 2 year old rather than a nearly 3 year old.

So what should I get? She has a toy kitchen, loads of dolls, 2 dolls prams, accessories to go with dolls such as beds and highchairs. She has a small table and chairs she got for her 2nd birthday, and hundreds of other toys. I am stuck as to what to get.

I am planning to take her for a day out either the day before or after her birthday to either a farm or a zoo and letting her choose a soft toy/some plastic tat from the gift shop of wherever we go, but I'd like something from me for her to open on the actual day that she can tell her friends at Nursery was for her birthday - she'll say "it's mine" and "me birthday" but not actually "I got this for my birthday" but hey, if she's happy so am i.

Any suggestions please?

Outdoor toys as the weather will be improving soon? 2/3 is a common age to think about getting a scooter or balance bike? I've seen 2 year olds in Mini Micros.

Has she got dressing up clothes? DVDs?

No garden so can't get outdoor toys.

Will get some dressing up stuff. DVDs are good to keep at my mums house for her so will look in £land for those.

DD2 is 3 at the end of the month. 2nd child, so she has everything her sister had. We're getting her a new doll, a floating tea set for the bath, some giant outdoor chalks and a play suitcase for her dressing up "excursions". PILs are getting her a decent pair of leather sandals for summer and DM had bought a new UV swimsuit for holidays.

When DD1 turned three she got a balance bike. Puzzles are great at this age, and duplo - there's a nice picnic duplo set

Thought I'd update.

I decided to get her some new dolls for her dolls house as she only has 1 that it came with and a room of furniture for the house itself. Got some hair stuff as she loves having her hair done; bobbles, clips etc. Got a princess dress up outfit with matching tiara.

Thank you all!
