What to give a boy for 3 years?

A three-year-old boy is probably the hardest of all birthday people. He already understands the meaning of the birthday and is waiting for a gift, but he himself is unlikely to blabber about what he would like, and if he does not like something, most likely, he will clearly show it. This means that a gift for a three-year-old baby should be reasonably thought out, its choice should not be taken carelessly and it is also not worth leaving the purchase on the last day.

Age features

At the age of three, the boy from just a child slowly begins to turn into a person, with his own preferences and interests. Do not expect him to explicitly demonstrate them, or speak out loud. Most often, he himself does not yet realize what exactly can be attributed to his favorite things and activities.

At the same time, some character traits are already manifested, and from them certain conclusions can be drawn about the appropriateness of a particular gift. For example, an active child will not be interested in board games, while a calm child may find even the favorite of all boys - a ball - as a relatively boring gift.

At this age, a typical trait of all children is slowly emerging - curiosity. It is frankly too early to donate any encyclopedias, but cognitive games or even books are now becoming appropriate.

Around now, the baby begins to understand the value not only of toys, but and other children as friends. He can already choose his comrades not because they have interesting cars, but for certain character traits. Of course, in a company it is much more fun if you have something to play - and this is another tip for choosing a gift.

After all, this is still just a child waiting for a gift, he loves brightness and attractiveness, so choose a present that he sees and immediately understands its value.

Gift requirements

The first rule for any children's gifts is that they must be completely safe and free from harmful materials or dyes. In addition, small parts and toys that do not have high strength are still undesirable. It is then that the future man will become constructive, but for now it is much more interesting for him to break it and see what is interesting inside.

The gift must necessarily have an "instant" character, the kid must evaluate it immediately, at the time of delivery, otherwise the effect will disappear completely.

The birthday boy will simply cease to associate you with going to a circus or an entertainment center, even if it was you who presented tickets, but it was two weeks ago. For the same reason, it is not recommended to give money - whatever you buy with it, it will no longer be “your” gift.

Adults also all too often forget that clothing is not a gift for a child at all. He is used to the fact that such purchases are made for him by adults on any day. Today is 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 years old, the boy is still very small, but his interests are already quite male. No man would refuse a gift on wheels, right?

You can get by with banal cars, but you can also go up a level higher - to give the birthday boy a whole set in the form of a multi-level car parking or a special racing track, not only with cars, but also with the rest of the automotive infrastructure.

If finances allow, present your kid with your own electric car - one that you can ride. This will be a reason for insane pride!

At the age of three, the kid understands that adulthood is not only male opportunities, but also responsibilities.

Striving to be like a dad, who knows how to fix literally everything in the house, will provoke an interest in tools, especially those made especially for children. Particular attention will be drawn to a set of disassembled machines with a set of tools for its disassembly and assembly.

Other popular solutions include carpentry tool kits, hammers and nails, battery-operated baby drills, and more.

Developing the mind and body

A three-year-old toddler is very mobile, and for sure, somewhere deep in his soul, he dreams of becoming a champion. This commitment is very good for your health, so encourage it - for example, give an appropriate 3-year gift.

Most often it is recommended to choose this:

home sports corner for a whole range of exercises, developing muscles and neutralizing excessive activity;
trampoline for unlimited safe jumps without harming beds and sofas;

a tricycle or scooter for enjoying the speed;
all kinds of balls, so adored by all the boys;
any other sports products designed for a baby of three years old.

However, power without mind is not a very useful thing, especially since a very noticeable feature of a toddler is now unrestrained curiosity and craving for knowledge.

Now is a good time for both learning to count and reading, as well as learning about the endless 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 illustrative 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 kid is really hyperactive, but assiduous, then he just needs to give something for a quiet pastime. For such cases, board games are usually well suited, both with and without a learning element - simple entertaining.

Vivid examples are children's lotto and games where you have to take turns. The designer will be a very sensible gift, but, preferably, without too small details. Do not worry: even if the child does not yet seem to understand the meaning of the game, he is still developing, and very soon you will see obvious progress.

If the kid is interested in music, he loves to sing and dance, and the parents, for their part, consider it possible for themselves to withstand the constant noise, give the child toy musical instruments. Usually, all of them can be fully played only on synthesizers and pipes, but on the other hand, this is an interesting entertainment.

In some cases, a child can get so carried away that sooner or later he will understand the difference between a toy and a real one, and ask him to send him to a music school.

Other versatile options

Sometimes, especially if the child is not yours, there is no way to devote a lot of time to choosing a gift, but still I would like the birthday person to be satisfied.

In this situation, it is a good idea to once again consider the gift options that any boy will definitely like 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 themselves as the same car.
A toy railroad is a gift, believe me, even dad would like, not to mention a three-year-old boy.

Themed sets for male professions - policeman, firefighter, doctor.
Toy pistols. So far, it is better without bullets - water, or just glowing and making sound.
Sets of toy soldiers for real battles.
Ships, airplanes and other vehicles.

Remember that a beautiful wrapper and packaging is already a third of a gift's success. Give preference to either bright and beautiful toys, or those that are as similar as possible to your real original.

What presents will not please the child?

An adult, having received an inappropriate gift, would try not to show it, but a three-year-old will surely show that he is disappointed. Resentment at this age will quickly be forgotten, but the holiday will be spoiled, so avoid giving what the baby does not like.

Here are some tips to help you avoid awkward situations:

Anything that cannot be touched is not a gift.
Leave a gift of exclusively practical value, without entertainment or play, for the next birthdays - at three years old this will not be appreciated.

At the age of three, any normal boy already understands and realizes his gender, he will not like most gifts that would suit a girl. Even if the child himself loves this for some reason, there is a risk that other children will laugh at him. So do not create unnecessary problems for the baby, because he still does not know how to perceive criticism of interests.
Avoid giving your baby too complicated gifts that he may not understand at the age of three. It can be either too complex games and encyclopedias, or a tablet that has been popular recently, unless, of course, it is for children.
