I tend to be lazy and just buy boxes that are already put together (like "Make your own mosaics" or whatever). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-and-5-year-old-birthday-presents#post-2547577 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:53:26 +0000 lamariniere 2547577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5 yo son would not be interested in dress up clothes. He likes science oriented books, especially ones about space and astronauts and any sort of vehicles that fly. </p> <p>My daughter is 2.5 and loves dress up clothes, I could see her still being interested when she's 3. Otherwise, she also loves books, some ideas would be Curious George, books by Julia Donaldson (like Room on the Broom) and she loves one called The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-and-5-year-old-birthday-presents#post-2547571 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:47:57 +0000 MrsSRS 2547571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Elephant and Piggie series by Mo Willem is good for 3 and 5yos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-and-5-year-old-birthday-presents#post-2547560 Thu, 12 May 2016 12:41:47 +0000 Smurfette 2547560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless you know they like to dress up, I wouldn't put that all that effort into making something. I would do a slip n slide, water gun, water balloons, etc for outside summer fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/3-and-5-year-old-birthday-presents#post-2547264 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:29:04 +0000 JenGirl 2547264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to a joint birthday party for a 3 year old girl and a 5 year old boy. It's a Peter Pan theme.</p> <p>My son's only 7 months, so I'm not great at estimating what older kids would want. I'm thinking of making easy, no sew, DIY, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell dress up clothes. They would be tunic style (since I can't size them) and nothing fancy since it's this Sunday. Would that be a good present? If not, what would be? My go-to is books, what books would be good for kids that age?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
