Toys For 3 Year Olds

-
My brother is coming to visit next week and my mom later in the month and they both very conveniently task me with buying the boys a little something from them. D is easy; books, puzzles, board games. He is the eldest so we are always looking to bring new things into the home allowing new experiences.

H is a little harder. We still have so many of D's toddler toys around the house that rarely think of getting him something. I know.. I feel the guilt. So the past few days I have been on the look out for toys for 3 year old boys 

My go to when picking a toy is always something educational.. I love a great puzzle or building toys. 

Melissa and Doug Alphabet Express Floor Puzzle

Melissa and Doug Wooden Pattern Maker


playing with foam blocks

Don't let that smile fool you.. I made those foam block castles, he's just waiting for me to give him the go so he can destroy my creations lol. 

This is also a great time to introduce the little guy to some board games. I still remember D's first board game at age 3 was Richard Scarry's Busytown, H on the other hand totally gets a kick out of Perfection, I'm thinking he might like the Sneaky Squirrel Game 


Sneaky Snacky Squirrel Game

He is more a man of action while D is our thinker. H loves his tools, lawn mowers and loves being outside

Plastic Lawn Mower

Toddler Tool Set

Little Tykes Giraffe Ride On

So many options!! I don't think I am any closer to making a decision but I've got tons of food for thought.

We have the Very Hungry Caterpillar board game which has been a family favourite with all four kids. It might appeal to your little one. We hardly ever buy toys for our youngest, the house if full of treasure with three older siblings. I do sometimes feel guilty but he doesn't seem to mind one way or other.

My gosh what fun toys! One thing I regret is not playing with my girls more when they were young. I was stressed out and tired. But oh well, it is what it is. I'd to get our family more games to play. We only have Life, Monopoly, Connect Four, and Jenga. I need to institute a family game night each month.

And thank you for your nice comments on my jumper. I'll have to ponder on how to wear it. I do need some new jeans which I think was my original idea.

For board games, my kids like Hoot Owl Hoot and Race to the Treasure....both cooperative games so no one breaks down in tears at the end of it.

Thanks for sharing! I don't think you can beat wooden and role play toys. The kids create a different story and game every day.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
