By the time your son is 3 I’m sure he is full of opinions of things he likes and dislikes! And there is nothing worse than finding a gift for a 3 year old boy who is full of opinions! But let me tell you what we have found that our 3 year old son loved!

Why We Love Them:
We love the book I love you Stinky Face. It’s all about a boy who is pretending he is all these silly things and the mom tells him all the ways she would love him if he were.
It’s the perfect all boy funny book that shows how much mamas really care for their little boys!
This book makes you laugh and helps your little one see how much he is loved!
Why We Love Them:
Play doh sets can be so fun! It’s great for kids to get to manipulate the play doh and create what they want!
There are lots of creative sets that have difference shapes to cut or press that add another fun element! We have a couple of containers full of play doh and accessories that my kids love to pull out and play with!
Why We Love Them:
We have more kids microphones all over our house than I care to admit. But our kids love them!
We have some that play songs, others that you just talk into, and some that change your voice funny and repeat what you say.
Regardless of which on the kids have, they love to talk into a microphone! Maybe they’ll be great public speakers one day! One can hope!
Why We Love Them:
We love bubbles! I think every kid loves bubbles! So bubble machines are awesome, because they blow out way more bubbles than any one mom could! And that makes kids happy.
I have yet to find one that lasts for an incredibly long time, but they’re worth every penny even if I have to buy one every few years!
We have utilized our bubble machine at more than one birthday party, or event. It’s always a crowd pleasure, and so simple and easy!
Why We Love Them:
I really love Duplo Lego Sets the pieces are big enough you don’t have to worry if your little one still puts things in his mouth! And they are just really fun to build with.
I like that they can create actual houses and such with duplos and then they can interact and play with them.
We have a lot of the Duplos and my kids of all ages really enjoy playing with them!
Why We Love Them:
On top of him loving to carry them around, they are so convenient to put his stuff into when we are going places. We have mostly graduated from a diaper bag and this is so nice to throw a diaper and wipes into when we go places.
And these cute backpacks are not just miniature sized but they have so many cute designs and animals! Seriously you’re bound to find one he likes!
This is a super simple gift for a 3 year old boy that you can even put a book or toy inside to go with it!
Why We Love Them:
We really love the magnet drawing board that come with the stamps as well as the pen. The kids are so creative with how they use the stamps and it’s fun to watch their creativity come to life.
I like to help my 3 year olds practice how to hold a pen correctly when they draw and this is a great way to do it.
Their pictures erase easily, and I find they enjoy erasing the pictures as much as creating them at times!
Why We Love Them:
My son loves to pretend he is big like his dad! And since his dad works with tools, my son wants to also! Insert tool workbench!
He loves that he has all the same tools that his dad does! And he pretends to be making things, and fixing things all the time!
I love that he can pretend and imagine with things that he will likely use one day when he grows up!
Why We Love Them:
We bought this coloring desk when my daughter was 3 and she still uses it 4 years later! It has lots of space for art supplies and convenient space on the sides for paper and coloring books.
It’s made of a sturdy plastic and comes clean easily with a magic eraser!
My daughter has spent hours upon hours coloring and creating at her art desk, and it has been one of the best things we’ve bought for her!
Why We Love Them:
Balance Bikes are a great way for kids to learn how to balance without the fear of falling off a bike! They’re low enough to the ground your little boy will be able to touch the ground.
But to go he will have to push with his feet and navigate balancing on the two wheels.
It’s a great way to train them to be ready for a bike without training wheels, and 3 year olds are the perfect size for one!
Best of luck in finding the perfect gift for a 3 year old boy! I hope these gifts will give you some ideas of things that we have tried and LOVED!
