What to give the boy for 3 years?
The three-year-old boy is probably the most difficult of all birthday men. He already understands the meaning of his birthday and is waiting for a gift, but he himself hardly talks about what he would like, and if he doesn’t like something, he will most likely obviously show it. This means that a gift for a three-year-old baby should be sufficiently thought out, you should not be negligent in choosing it and leaving the purchase on the last day is also not worth it.
Age features
At the age of three, a boy from a child just slowly begins to turn into a personality, with his own preferences and interests. Do not expect that he will clearly demonstrate them, or speak out loud. Most often, he himself is not aware of what can be attributed to his favorite things and activities.
At the same time, some character traits are already manifested, and it is possible to draw certain conclusions about the feasibility of a gift. For example, a mobile child will not be interested in board games, and a calm, relatively boring gift may even seem to be the favorite of all boys - the ball.
At this age, the typical trait of all children — curiosity — is slowly emerging. It’s still frankly early to give some encyclopedias, but informative games or even books are now becoming appropriate.
About now, the baby is beginning to understand the value not only of toys, but and other children as friends. He can already choose his comrades not because of the presence of interesting machines, but for certain character traits. Of course, the company is much more fun, if there is, what to play - and this is another hint for choosing a gift.
In the end, it's still just a child who is waiting for a gift, he loves brightness and attractiveness, so choose a gift that he will see and immediately understand his value.
Gift Requirements
The first rule for any children's gifts - they must be completely safe and not contain harmful materials or dyes. In addition, while still undesirable small parts and toys that do not have high strength. This is then the future man will be aimed at constructive, but for now it is much more interesting for him to break and see what is interesting inside.
A gift must have an “instant” character, the baby must evaluate it immediately, at the time of delivery, otherwise the effect will disappear completely.
The birthday party will simply stop associating you with going to a circus or an entertainment center, even if you donated tickets, but it was two weeks ago. For the same reason, it is not recommended to give money - whatever they bought, it will be “not your” gift.
Adults also too often forget that clothes are not a gift for a child at all. He is used to the fact that such purchases for him are made by adults on any given day. Today is a holiday - a difficult day, so do not give any clothes, shoes or even bed linen with cartoon characters.
Tools and machines for future men
At three, the boy is still very small, but his interests are already quite male. No man will not give up the gift on wheels, is not it?
You can do with banal cars, but you can go up a level - to give the birthday boy a whole set of multi-level autoparking or a special race track, not only with cars, but with the rest of the car infrastructure.
If finances allow, donate your own electric car - the one on which you can ride. This will be the cause of great pride!
The child already in three years understands that adult life is not only male opportunities, but also duties.
The desire to be like dad, who can literally fix everything in the house, will provoke interest in the tools, especially those made specifically for children. Particular attention will cause a set of disassembling machines with a set of tools for its disassembly and assembly.
Other popular solutions include carpentry kits, hammers and nails, children's battery-powered drills, and more.
Develop the mind and body
The three-year-old peanut is very mobile, and for sure, somewhere deep down, dreams of becoming a champion. Such a desire is very good for health, so encourage - for example, make an appropriate gift for a three-year period.
Most often recommended to choose this:
- home sports corner for the whole complex of exercises that develops muscles and neutralizes excessive activity;
- trampoline for unlimited safe jumps without harm to beds and sofas;
- tricycle or scooter for enjoying speed;
- all sorts of balls, so adored by all boys;
- any other sports products designed for a three-year-old baby.
However, the power of the mind - the thing is not very useful, especially since a very noticeable feature of the toddler is now unrestrained curiosity and craving for knowledge.
Now is a good time both for learning about counting and reading, and for learning about the boundless world around you, so consider these gift ideas:
- educational mosaics, lotto and cubes, as well as magnets with numbers and letters;
- the first encyclopedias and simply bright books with pictures - about transport, animals, dinosaurs, ideally - with vivid examples in the form of toys;
- special children's tablet or any other educational electronics.
Ideas for a relaxing and active pastime
Even if your boy is not calm, there are still moments when he gets tired, but he still does not want to be bored. If the baby is really hyperactive, but diligent, then he just needs to donate something for a peaceful pastime. For such cases, board games are usually well suited, with or without a training element - simple entertainment.
Vivid examples - children's lotto and games where you need to take turns. The designer will also be a very sensible gift, but, preferably, without too small details. Do not worry: even if the child still does not seem to understand the meaning of the game, he still develops, and very soon you will see obvious progress.
If the kid is interested in music, he loves to sing and dance, and parents, for their part, consider it possible to withstand constant noise, donate to kid toy musical instruments. Usually, all of them can only be fully played on synthesizers and pipes, but this is interesting entertainment.
In some cases, the child may be so carried away that sooner or later he will understand the difference between a toy and a present, and ask him to send him to a music school.
Other universal options
Sometimes, especially if the child is not yours, there is no possibility to devote a lot of time to choosing a gift, but still I would like the birthday man to be satisfied.
In this situation, it is not bad to consider the gift options once again, which will surely please any boy and can become his favorite toy for a long time:
- Cars of all types, from the simplest "models" to options with a motor, radio control, and other functions.
- Transforming robots that can "disguise" under the same machine.
- A toy railway is a gift, believe me, even dad would have liked, not to mention a three-year-old boy.
- Thematic sets for male professions - a policeman, a fireman, a doctor.
- Toy guns. So far it is better without bullets - water, or just glowing and making a sound.
- Kits of soldiers for the conduct of these battles.
- Ships, airplanes and other vehicles.
Remember that beautiful wrapping and packaging is one third of the success of a gift. Prefer either bright and beautiful toys, or those that are most similar to their real original.
What presents will not please the child?
An adult, having received an inappropriate gift, would have tried not to show it to him, but a three-year-old child will surely show that he is disappointed. Resentment at this age will be quickly forgotten, but the holiday will be spoiled, so avoid giving what the kid does not like.
Here are some tips to help you avoid embarrassing situations:
- Anything you can't touch is not a gift.
- A gift of purely practical value, without entertaining or gaming, leave for the next birthdays - in three years this will not be appreciated.
- At the age of three, any normal boy already understands and realizes his gender, he will not like most of the gifts that would fit the girl. Even if the child himself for some reason likes this, there is a risk that other children will laugh at him. So do not create unnecessary problems for the child, because he still does not know how to perceive criticism of interests.
- Avoid giving your child too complicated gifts that he may not understand in his three years. It can be both too complex games and encyclopedias, and recently popular tablet, if, of course, it is not for children.
