Gifts for three year old?

[sugarbear]

DS has a million and one smaller toys, but our parents like to get him something in the $100 range. Any ideas?

[sonrisa]

Magformers or Magna Tiles?

Get that kid a cool toy kitchen!

DS looooves this perplexus puzzle thing. He just turned 4. I know it's not $100, but maybe they could do a few of something along these routes?

I know, I know. 
But I just counted, because we were trying to sort throu toys and books to donate some. We have over 200 books for the kids! 

You know how people have half-full cups of water all over the house, in case they get thirsty? We have books. Everywhere.

Ok, I've added magnatiles and the perplexus.

Scooter! But only the mini kick scooter because its badass and teaches your kid great balance. My DD has never fallen off hers. Best purchase ever!

Train table? Plasma Car? toddler bike? Or I totally agree with the membership to a zoo, aquarium, passes to a play place...

Haha, that's what its like at our house too.  Books.  Everywhere.  My sisters have 7 kids between them and we got all their old books, plus a million new ones.  Add a  weekly trip to the library... I think we're all set for the next 10-15 years.  Another thought is Bruder trucks.  They're pricey but awesome and indestructible. DS has a couple and plays with them in a shallow large Tupperware storage bin that I filled with dried beans and pasta.

We are considering getting our 3 year old the leappad 2. They came out with an "ultra" version so the 2 is only $70-100 on amazon.

Plasma car if you have room!

[sugarbear]

Argh! Why is this so hard?
We have a stride bike and a pedal bike. Scooter, as a hand-me-down. A train table that slides under the bed, and a Leap Pad. Zoo memberships, Science Center, already done. 

I'm looking up plasma cars...
Eta: those look so cool, but we don't have room the house is tiny and has a weird layout, and I suspect our sidewalks are too bumpy.

I agree with memberships to places. Maybe a book rack or storage cube shelves.

Some books and the rest cash to go into the college fund?

Winter coat and boots?
