    present ideas for a 3yo

    An easel? That's what we're getting our DS for his 3rd birthday. It's a 5 in 1 easel - whiteboard, blackboard, magnet, felt board & paint board.

    A balance bike or her first bike with training wheels, plus helmet etc.

    My DD is 3 1/2 and she is currently obsessed with dressing up and jewellery so maybe create a dress up box for her from some old clothes or maybe an op shop visit to get some handbags and clothes that she can have fun playing with

    Costco had 1.5m high Pandas for only $40. We're currently keeping hold of one for friend's child. It's absolutely enormous

    Goodness, that's as tall as me lol!

    I like the easel idea. What about dress ups or a tea set or lego (duplo or mega blocks).

    I agree with the easel. Crafty stuff can include pom poms, paddle pop sticks, crepe/tissue paper, ribbons and wool, beads for jewellery making and threading.

    Books, swimming gear (towel, goggles), puzzles, DVDs, music, CD player (ours was $25 from Kmart), musical instruments...

    Zoo pass is also a great idea.

    Does she like to help with cooking? Perhaps some colourful kitchen equipment (measuring spoons, bowls etc).
