For Christmas she's getting Picasso blocks (like Magnatiles), some princess dolls and more dress up clothes as the birthday ones were a gigantic hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787160 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 12:59:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2787160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Yes! There aren't that many options out there; most are really lame with horrible pixels. There is a new version that's like $50 something, I got the older version that's $30 because for a preschooler, she doesn't need anything "fancy".<br /> <a href="http://a.co/7LtJVvg" rel="nofollow">http://a.co/7LtJVvg</a><br /> Reviews say that older kids like yours enjoy it too; not sure if this would be too "kiddish" for a 5 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787155 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 12:52:15 +0000 PinkElephant 2787155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Have you researched cameras? Is this the best kid-friendly option? Sorry, would just love to piggy back off of someone else's research if they've already done it :) DD1 ( 5 yrs) is really into taking pictures/videos with my phone recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787154 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 12:50:46 +0000 autumnleaves 2787154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oliviapope: DS has an Eric Carle memory game that he plays when visiting my dad and he seems to be getting into it more recently - he turned 3 in August. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787153 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 12:50:32 +0000 josina 2787153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves duplos as mentioned above.<br /> He also loves getting movies, depending on how much TV time you allow - Moanna and Sing are his current favorites, and he's getting Trolls and Cars 3 for his bday/christmas.<br /> Washable paint was a huge hit.

My parents might get her a starter brio set. I might supplement her magfomers a bit, and I'm also getting her some little art things and a book. . I was going to do a sand/water table but we live in the northeast so that will wait for her birthday in the spring </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787042 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 08:08:27 +0000 looch 2787042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about your climate, but two things that come to mind are either a scooter or a trike/ride on for outside. Even though we're in the northeast, I make a point to buy at least one physical activity thing for my son and just bundle up and go outside, no matter what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787033 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 07:03:41 +0000 Charm54 2787033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting DD2 a Fisher Price Movi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787032 Fri, 17 Nov 2017 06:25:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 2787032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: what is this bathtub foam machine you speak of?! Sounds fun.

Between his birthday and Christmas, he’s getting a few dress-up outfits and their matching accessories, cash register, a puzzle, a memory game, a magazine subscription and a foam machine for the bathtub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787001 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 22:00:57 +0000 helloperidot 2787001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 will be 3 in February. We are probably doing magnatiles, more books, an Elena of Avalor doll, that superhero costume pack you mentioned, a princess dress, and if I can convince DH a dollhouse. Melissa and Doug has a cool wooden ice cream set that's on her list, as well as a Paw Patrol tricycle. Lots of games, because she loves them-- Mousetrap, Candyland, Yeti in My Spaghetti. Connect Four is her favorite right now. Last year's big hit gift was Code-a-pillar and a Thomas the Train wooden track and trains set. Oh, and she loves the Color Wonder art supplies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2787000 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 21:57:51 +0000 youboots 2787000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bright eyed baby flash cards, Malig toy mice and a puzzle from Shutterfly. That’s it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2786999 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 21:57:03 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2786999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got my kids the fisher price food truck to share. It has really good reviews!</p> <p>They also have the little tent/castle from IKEA (it's like $20) and they play with it every day. It was a big hit on Christmas morning</p> <p>Also gets daily use: plasma car, duplo, iPad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2786998 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 21:45:07 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2786998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS turned 3 in early October. We have gotten a kitchen and Memory. We have asked family for kitchen accessories, games (he got Candyland for his birthday), a doll stroller, and books. I will probably get more stuff of the above in mid December as we are doing an early Christmas exchange when we travel home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2786997 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 21:41:38 +0000 jhd 2786997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she have any Duplos? My son is 3.5 and plays with his daily and requested more for Christmas. They have quite a few character sets and then more general ones like a house or preschool or ice cream truck. Our little guy will play with them for hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-3-year-old-for-the-holidays#post-2786993 Thu, 16 Nov 2017 21:34:16 +0000 Oliviapope 2786993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD will be 3 in January. I can't figure out any good Christmas/holiday gifts.</p> <p>She plays with whatever toys are out - she likes to draw on construction paper, read books (we have so many), watch Caillou, Paw Patrol, Puppy Dog Pals.</p> <p>A recent gift that was a big hit was a 4 pack of superhero capes and masks from Amazon.</p> <p>I'm sure she'll be happy opening gifts on Christmas, even if it's socks and underwear, but I don't have any great ideas.</p> <p>I'd love to get her one medium-ish present (I was thinking a dollhouse, but she has a fisher price one she's still interested in), along with some art supplies and stocking stuffers. Would also like to get her some books. </p> <p>For those of you with kids in this age range, what are you thinking your little ones would like? </p>
