Question

my son is turning three next month and i was wondering what to get him, also is it wise to have a party for him at this age or will it be a waste of money?

Also how do i tell people i would rather them not buy him guns and swords as presents?

Answer 1

how much you spend on your kids party is up to you.  my daughter is turning 8 still talks about her 2nd b-day party.  you can write on the invitations please no guns/swords. and i would recommend some sort of riding toy like a bike or scooter my son loves his elmo scooter

Answer 2

yes it is wise.. take lots of pictures so he will remmeber.. best times of my life where my b-days when I was young ..

get him coloring sets.. many of them big ones all kind of colors.. this is what  I got my brother when he was turning 3 though I was a kid but I knew that he would like it so I sept all my money

you can also add coloring books' a bag for all this and a boat for the sea those little romout control ones and go to the sea next day

Answer 3

anything squishy but not small enough to eat.  bright in color.      ")

Answer 4

Ask him what he wants!  My daughter turned 3 in May she had a Dora themed party and she loved it.  All her little pals came ready to party!  She told me when I asked her what she wanted "Princess Gown!"  I had my gift right there.  She even got some other stuff from people who asked her as well.  

The best way to tell people is to just tell them.   Please do not bring weapon toys i.e. Guns, swords, or knives.  Let them know they will be wasting their money because he will not play with them.  My children don't play with toy guns either.

On the fourth of July a friend kept on repeatedly giving her a water gun until I went directly to her and said NO TOY GUNS.  She was reluctant but followed my wishes.  No one can raise your child but you.

Tell your son happy Birthday or me!

Answer 5

mine always loved the 'little people' sets especially with the vehicles.  They are easy for little hands to manipulate and they can work the cars themselves.

Have a small party, cake and ice cream, no games, just play if it is for kids.  We had only 3 kids over but they all had fun.  Bubble blowing was a popular activity.  If you can have a separate one for family to keep it from being so overwhelming.  

I never found an easy way to prevent certain gifts from entering my house.  If they ask you can tell them or if they have heard you mention it before.  Talk it up to those who might be buying gifts as in "I hope boy doesn't get guns or swords for gifts - they just really bother me"

Answer 8

If you want to have a small party, go ahead, but keep it simple.. He will not care, so whatever you do will be more for you.

I wouldn't worry so much about the presents. You can give away anything you don't want him to have. I am sure your family and friends know your feelings.

Answer 9

Learning toys, ABC's and 123's they are learning alot at this age and technology is moving at incredible speed.  Tell people no guns or swords please.

Answer 10

something that glows or is squishy or soft and it would be a great thing because he would remember it and dont let them get swords or knifes because that would be bad

Answer 11

Our son's are probably about the same age, my son will be 3 in August as well.  We were looking at an indoor bouncer, similar to jumping castles but much, much smaller.  A  indoor/outdoor ball pit, which we would use indoors....a mini pop up tent for boys that's like a house, with doors & windows, it had Lightining McQueen on it.  They're all priced from $40-$50 dollars, but for us it would be worth it in the long run.

We're planning a birthday at home, just the 3 of us, we figure it will be easier and cheaper...considering the higher priced gift we're planning on getting....still un-sure though.

As far as family, just tell them "no guns or swords." or "no toys that portray violance."  simple is best, don't worry about what they'll think, it's your child.  Good luck, have fun!

P.S.  I'm telling you what we're planning, so you might get an idea, what to do for your son.
