What toys do 3 yr old boys like?

[lucysnowe]

Hi all!

I?d like to buy a toy, £10 or so, for cm?s three-year-old son. He is quite boy-ish (for a boy) and likes shouting/banging/cars etc. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

My Ds is 3 and loves Lego. He's also into cutting and glueing and making models from boxes and yoghurt pots etc, so maybe something crafty.

hot wheels.

When DS was 3 he liked small and larger cars. Any vehicles, any size actually. Also Duplo, train track and trains.

DS2 who was 3 last week loves cars/trucks/boats for the bath/Puzzles/wild animals and dinosaurs.
He also loves books (Charlie and Lola/anything about Dinosaurs or Lions and Tigers).
We got him a giant foam puzzle from ELC, think it was £14 (but had a code for 20% off, which has been a huge hit), here:
He loves it

Or a Pirate Dressing up costume? Mine love dressing up

My 3 year old boyish boy spends his entire life re-arranging his toy cars on his car mat:

DS isn't 3 yet but he loves lego, and trains, cars and his drum.

Ds1 (2.10) likes cars - MAtchbox ones that come inpacks of 3 or 5. Also aeroplanes.

Just getting into Playmobil in a big way too.

Jigsaws (with pictures of cars or trains, by preference), Lego/Duplo, dinosaurs, art stuff are sporadically popular.

Books very popular too (although it is hard to know what people do and don't have).

Cars. Trains (does he have a Brio or equivalent track you could add something to?). DS was getting into Playmobil by 3.

You could get something Playmobil for £10, esp if you went to TKMax, I got a great helicopter (Summer of 2008's most fought over toy) that my boys loved.

Great ideas - thanks all!
