Gift Ideas for 3 year olds

I just wanted to share some gift ideas for my soon-to-be three-year-old son, based on his current interests. As I have two young children, I try to find gifts that are safe for my younger son but still enjoyable for my older son. At age 3, he loves being hands-on and helping out around the house. He's always eager to lend a hand, whether it's with food preparation or cleaning.

One of his favorite activities is helping us in the kitchen, so I highly recommend getting a kitchen helper if you don't already have one. We got one for him on his second birthday, and he loves using his kitchen tools while wearing his little monogrammed apron. For school, we use the Austin Baby Collection bento box, which comes in both full and mini sizes, along with their silicone mats.

This year, my son has asked for a play couch for their playroom, so we're getting him a nugget in green. We also love hands-on activities like lacing cards, domino sets, and magnet color-matching sets. Building sets are also a hit, and we love the wooden rainbow that he plays with at school. Dough kits from Art of Dough or Young Wild and Freidman are also great options.

My son is also enjoying longer storybooks these days, especially ones that help him identify and understand different emotions. We love "The Grand Hotel of Feelings" and "In My Heart," which we bought for him when he started school. "Fur, Feather, Fin" is another fun and educational book we recommend.

Lastly, Loveverly makes beautiful sets for kids of all ages, and we plan on getting a subscription for both of our boys this year. I hope these gift ideas are helpful, and I'd love to hear if you have any other suggestions for three-year-olds!
