Birthday gift for 3 year old girl?
Isabella's
My friends daughter is turning 3 next weekend and we will be attending her party. What is a good gift to get for her? I don't really want to spend much more than $30. My daughter is 4 and a half months old so I'm used to buying her age toys...not too sure what to get a 3 year old....help?
Answer
In my experience, the more 'commercialised' the toy is, the less life-span it has. And that is from both the point of view about how sturdy a toy is, but also about how much they will play with it. Anything that makes noise or moves with batteries really only entertains them for days or weeks as best and then they move back to the toys that allow more imagination. The simpler the better, and the toys that don't 'tell' you how to play with them.
The sorts of things that last for years are toys like building blocks/lego or simple baby doll stuff - dolls that are hardy and can go in the bath or get thrown around a bit, are easy to dress etc.
Most little girls already have a doll, but a little stroller for it to be pushed around in is always good if she hasn't got one.
Other non 'toy' ideas are things like a pretty umbrella or raincoat, bubble mix, paints or put together a craft box with things like a glue stick, coloured card and paper, sturdy children's scissors, feathers, stickers, colourful foam or pom-pom bits etc. They love this - it's great to keep aside for a rainy day or for special times when mum/dad need the child to be occupied. I have one for when I need to be on the phone without being interrupted, or when I'm trying to put the little one to sleep and need some quiet - all sorts of possibilities.
Another idea the kids love is a cookie baking kit (little boys love this too BTW). Depending on how much you want to spend, at the minimum it could have a favouite cookie recipe that's child friendly, a rolling pin and cookie cutters (try and get the metal ones as they last better - more quality and less quantity means you have a gift that will keep reminding them of you for years to come). Other things that can go in are a little apron, a mixing bowl and spoon, a spatula to scrape it clean, a silicone cookie mat for the oven, or even a cute cookie jar for their hard work to go in.
I have also had great fun putting together gardening kits for young kids too. A little trowel, garden gloves and seedlings/seeds and raising mix all put into a nice pot or herb box. herbs/tomatoes/strawberries are great because they can watch them grow and then eat them. A little watering can is also a cute addition.
HTH :-) It's so much more fun than just buying a colourful plastic wrapped Chinese made toy from Target!
