My DS is turning 3 on Saturday! He seems so much more grown up these days, though I could do with a little less attitude lol.
What is or was your 3 year old's favourite toy? I'd love to get something that will really interest him.
For some reason he can't pedal on a bike, he has a plastic little tike one and he cannot move on it. Does anyone have any idea why? So that is out. He is getting a scooter from my SIL. Someone suggested Duplo? Any good?
I'll think about the pressie suggestions but my DD couldn't pedal either until well after 3. DH bought her a big girls bike - and she was off like a shot.
Hi Jan. We have been really stuck on DD this year too. We ahve decided to get her a bike with a parent handle so we can push her while she learns to pedal. Apart from that does he have a trampoline, cubby, swing set? Duplo is great, DD loves to build towers and DS loves to "help".
Good luck deciding. Let us know what ideas you come up and you eventually get him.
A balance bike They don't have pedals, kids learn to ride without the use of training wheels (which I think are a PITA and I wish I had used a balance bike for the first 3!).
My son was three on Friday, he too will not pedal on his trike that he has, but does love to ride. Just can't do it on his own, he loves it when we push him. So we got him a kids BMX bike with a parent handle that we can use to steer him. We take it for walks in the arvo & he loves it (we gave it to him early a few weeks ago). He's now getting really good with the pedals!
Otherwise, what does he like or what do you like to do with him? My DH is away lots for work so we try to get them to do things together without me, one thing he likes is fishing so we got him his own fishing rod, also books with CD's (he loves me reading to him at night, but not always easy when BF DS2).
Some small things he got at his party that he just loves, a Thomas watch, never thought to get him a watch but he's worn it everyday since his birthday. He also got a torch that you shine on the wall & it has a pic of a space ship onn it & you can change the pictures over....gone to sleep with that every night.
And I second the train set, he spends hours with his trains & mega blocks building bridges & tunnels. HTH.
