Birthday present ideas 3 year old boy

[Toocrazy!!]

I’m totally out of the loop- any ideas for me? Outside or active toys would be welcome. More natural than plastic I guess. Or less common books they might not have.

A superhero cape was my ds’s best gift at that age. He lived in it for the following year. 

My guy was like that, too. He had a superman costume and wore it every single day. I made him take it off when we went to church, and in his preschool class, he insisted that his teacher write “Clark Kent” as his name on his coloring page.

I’d bought him all sorts of cute little outfits, but we never got to see them because they were always under his Superman costume.  I would let him watch the old original Superman cartoons and he loved them and wanted to be just like Superman.

Wow, thanks for the great idea! My DS wasn’t into that at all, so it would not have been on my radar.

If not superhero then one of the Melissa and Doug costumes. My little guys wear their police/fireman outfits all the time.

If this is not your three year old, why not ask the parents for a suggestion?

Because I got a great suggestion here for Christmas that the parents weren’t familiar with, and I got loads of street cred with the child and the parents😂

Play doh or kinetic sand- if you do the sand you could buy a plastic bin to play it in- and a few trucks and loaders to drive around in it.  When my boys were that age they played in a gravel pile everyday!  Dump trucks, shovels, and buckets.   I had the Kenetic sand in a tub for when it was too rainy!
