Presents for three year olds

[sherrardk]

My two year old twins turn three in three weeks time and I am looking for present ideas for them. Our house is packed to the rafters already but I can't not get them something. I don't do browsing in the shops (as shopping can be a nightmare with two two year olds) so I am not aware of anything that is new or different. Thanks for any ideas.

I have twin girl grand-daughters who are 5 in april. When they were 3 I got them a biggish low table that had a large cavity with a lid. It was for a sand pit or water and could be used in the garden or house as you wish, It also had bits and pieces like a watering can, buckets, moulds, they absolutely loved it. This year I am getting them
a pair of heely wheely trainers. Mum approves of that. The girls have changed drastically, one insists she is a boy, will only wear trousers, borrows her older brothers ties, pinks, red and mauve are taboo. If you say come on girls you get I'm not a girl i'm a boy. She reckons her willy is still trying to come out!! The other one is very girly.

They're just a few possibilities which caught my eye when browsing through the Argos catalogue. I you've got a copy, it could solve your browsing problem because the toy section is organised roughly by age.

i like how you had to state they were 2 shadrack :-)

Hi carandog, these are a boy/girl set and very true to their genders. They have three elder siblings (10, 7 and 5) and we don't throw anything out unless it's broken so the house is bursting at the seams with toys. I am one of girl twins and I was the tomboy and my sister was the 'girly' one, but I suppose all kids are different. (PS - have one of the things that you describe and it's brilliant ithe summer.)

Hi forget, now you mention it it is bl00dy obvious!

[sherrardk]

Hi Chris - thanks for that, I didn't realise that the Argos catalogue was divided up by age. Will have to get one later in the week.

[4getmenot]

go to the website, you can search by age on that too x

[sherrardk]

Cheers forget, I didnt know that either. If I get a catalogue from the shop I will have to get one for each of them so that will just be more crap in the house!

My twins also have 3 older siblings 14, 11 and 9, they too have so many things, also, their house is bursting is at the seams.

We brought my cousin one of these; don't see him very often so not sure what he thought to it but I think it looks great fun!

My ex also has twins ( 2 sets actually) and this Christmas I got them a large activity tunnel- which seemed to work great as they spent practically the whole of Christmas scuttling through it and then sleeping a lot because they'd worn themselves out:), plus it folds flat.

sherrard - we've just picked up the Argos supplement in our local paper, they have a load of things on offer at £15 for two, must end 22 Feb - have a look, loads of things half price too!

why don't you just do them a nice little party instead?
