What is on your 3 year old boys Xmas list?

[Tea-rific]

The grandparents are starting to ask for ideas and I am feeling stumped.

Give me some good ideas :-)

[lg28]

My 2.5 year old will probably get some Thomas the train stuff, Lego, and maybe a Leap Pad or something like that. I've also debated getting him his own iPad mini so he doesn't use mine for the kid apps (occasionally he will end up on the Internet by accident).

Other things may be a bike with training wheels, bike helmet, pajamas, clothes for the winter, indoor shoes for preschool, craft supplies, books.

[pierogigirl]

Green toys tool set
Little Blue Truck's Christmas book (new release)
a carpet with streets and train tracks for him to play cars and trains on
Frosty the Snowman DVD - he wore out the last one and we still have it DVR'ed from last year
a Melissa and Doug floor puzzle (they're great - we have a few)
some Planes and Thomas stuff
practical stuff like a winter coat and some clothes

ETA: a plasma car, Rody hoppity hop ball,

Thanks for the post, I am in desperate need of ideas. TBH I usually wait for Ashley&Scott to post her list then buy most of that

So far I have:

Melissa & Doug dress up clothes. Fireman, policeman, train conductor, vet, etc.

Bedding set for his toddler bed, we're going to convert his crib soon. Some kind of "wait to wake" clock.

Train set

Training bike for grandmas house (no pavement here)

We are getting DS stuff for his big boy room. We got rid of a lot stuff before we moved across country, so I want to replace some toys with less baby-ish versions. A tool set, a big metal Tonka truck, legos, hot wheels race track, marbleworks, games and books.

[scribellesam]

Stomp Rockets
Indoor play tent
Toy basketball hoop
Toy tool bench
Magnetic chalkboard for room

No good big present ideas this year; I may think about a children's museum membership or similar.

Yessssss thank you! You're my saving grace every Christmas. DS always gets the best stuff thanks to you!

[stealthmom]

Ds got a train table and kitchen at three

[qcinoct]

gah, I have no idea. DS2 will be 3 in January and my sister asked for a Christmas list today. Wha?! He's got all the major stuff as hand-me-downs from DS1, so I'm pretty much at a loss. And, with his bday about 2 weeks after Christmas, I've got to come up with 2 lists.

[lilybug]

When DS1 was three, he got: loads of Thomas trains, a vTech Innotab + games, an easel and art supplies, plus some random puzzles and books.

This coming Christmas DS2 is getting a big trampoline (joint gift for both,) a cozy coupe car, and misc. little toys. XH wants to get him a power wheels because he's obsessed with the little police car his cousin has, but neither of us has a good place for him to drive it. So we'll see.

[mellymel]

Wild Kratts creature power suit
Wild Kratts animal sets

No idea what else yet

Little Blue Truck's Christmas book (new release)

Ooooh.... thanks for mentioning this!

[redheadbaker]

Memberships to the local Children's Museum and the zoo.

[rachaelnicole]

My 3 year old is getting a train set. I don't know what else yet. I guess I better start thinking about that kind of stuff. Ugh.

For all of you guys who said magnatiles: YES. We got those for our kiddos two Christmases ago, and it was the BEST thing we've ever bought for them. They still play with them almost daily.

[Deleted]

Pedal bike (no training wheels since he has a balance
Bike we will skip them)
Tinker toys
Super hero cape
Robe and slippers
Tools of some sort

That's all I've got so far.

[asoctoberfalls]

Definitely play doh and art supplies. He LOVES Play Doh.

[Deleted]

What's on his list? Lollipops and Ring Pops and Books LOL!

What I am buying him?

More Magna Tiles
Tweak, Professor Inkling, Dashi and Tunups from Octonauts
Kindle Fire Kids edition
Some new Books
Play Doh
A Red Sox Teddy Bear
Lollipops and Ring Pops for his stocking
A XMAS Ornament
and X MAS PJs

I am sure I will think of a few other things as time goes on... His birthday is in November and he gets SPOILED by his grandparents.

[shekels1222]

Magnatiles
Paw patrol toys
Lots of books
Art supplies

From oot grandparents I'm asking them to contribute to his activity fund so he can do a couple after school programs and get him a membership to a children's meseum.

I'm sick of all the toys piling up.

[Deleted]

Puzzles
Simple games like high ho cherry o, candy land, cariboo,

We just got the fishing game he loves it.

Dress up clothes
More books

Can you link to the Octonauts stuff? DS loves that show.

[purpleminion]

We bought a big set of magna-tiles for our kids for Christmas when they were 1 and 3. Now they're 3 and 5 and they still LOVE them. I'd say DS2 started really getting into them when he was about 2 or 2.5. I think they're a really good investment at that age because they will play with them for many years. It was probably the best gift we've ever bought our kids.

[redheadbaker]

An art easel
Wooden Thomas trains
Books (Curious George, Berestain Bears, Dr. Seuss)
Duplo Legos
Jigsaw puzzles (the 12- to 24-piece ones that fit into a frame)
Make-believe stuff (more food for his kitchen, dress-up outfits)

I'm also looking for musical instruments for him, especially a kids' guitar.

[mellymel]

DS is super into Planes Fire and Rescue right now and he has asked Santa for Windlifter and Blade Ranger from the movie. And Chug, the fuel truck. He already has Dusty Crophopper.

He also wants a purple bike. I was hoping to buy that for his birthday in May so he could actually use it in the warmer weather. But we will see.

We may also get him a couple games like Sneaky Snacky Squirrel and Hi Ho Cherry Oh.

DH built him a Lego board as well!
