Any ideas? I have no idea what 3 year old boys like, other than custard and jumping....
Buy him a proper God Dad. Although custard and jumping sounds good to me...
And I can never decide what get my nephew. The best thing I gave him was my login to Prime so he can watch Grand Tour.
Exposure Diablo.
Sweets.
Kids love sweets.
A trumpet, a football or a lion.
Brio wooden train set
Does he like Thomas the Tank engine....
Sweajnr is coming up for 3 and the list of engines he'd like is quite substantial... it's almost as if the owners know this and keep on adding characters so it's impossible for a reasonable parent to keep up without buying an engine a month. 👿
Power kite, poppies from the tower of London?
Foam house brick
drum kit 👿
I bought my 3 year old great nephew a hi viz padded waistcoat from aldi. Its labelled equestrian and cost 6 quid, he loves it and wont take it off....its actually for aged 5 i think, anyway fits him.
Does he have a sibling? If so, then a mini foosball table.
Rothan.
My 3 year old lad is mad on Thomas, especially the Track Master stuff.
Tractors are good also.
Some great ideas here - thank you!
12 cans of redbull and a stop watch?
12 cans of redbull, a kilo bag of chocolate-coated coffee beans and a stop watch? 😈
To be serious for a moment, a wooden train set and a bunch of heavyweight cardboard boxes; kids can and will play for hours with empty boxes, all about imagination, innit.
😀
Take him to the zoo/theatre/softplay/farm to see lambs.....
How about some nice shortbread?

This would be my first choice but he's 200 miles away 😥
What you want is a BIG plastic tractor that when you push the exhaust (the type that comes out of the top of the engine), it makes a really loud sound and then brmm brmm's across the floor, making a loud screeching sound as it stops, with the sound of air brakes to finish off. It wasn't a particularly amazing present but I'd like to know somebody else is feeling the pain of that particular model. 😆
EDIT: Wooden train set is always a good shout (if he likes trains). Easy for his folks to add-on if he likes it.
I have some very robust cardboard boxes 3 of them big enough for dens spaceships etc Chichester area
fair do's Wallop..
How about a Kite? 😉
Lightening McQueen car
Anything from Brio
Anything from the wooden Thomas train collection
Tractors
Trucks
Police car with noises
Nerf Gun?!
Kiddimoto carbon fibre balance bike...?

A paddling pool, 25 gallons of custard and a big step ladder.
Custard jumping*
*Due to custard being a non newtonian fluid this is probably quite a bad idea for a 3 year old.
What he really needs is a 14 inch Islabike, most probably in red, ideally located about 5 streets away....
Is all I'm saying....
Sam, won't I offend his dad if I buy him his first bike? Isn't that what dads always want to do?
My 3yo daughter is VERY excited about getting a guitar soon.

Leap frog TV is currently £28 on Amazon reduced from £100
A tub of ice cream, or a kids fat bike. 😆
A surprise hit for my 3 year old at Christmas was a marble run. Search for Galt Marble Run on Amazon. He absolutely loves it and I've enjoyed building different layouts with him.
Spiderman muscle costume seems popular with the 3 and 4 y olds in my lads class.
EDIT: Marble runs are popular in my house as are hot wheels track layouts.
I second the marble run.
Also sitable for 32yeqr olds if anyone is reading....
