toys for 3 year old boy: Isn't this too old for a 3 year old?

I don't think this is beyond a 3-year old's capacity. I agree that anything with batteries is not a good idea either. My girlfriend's 18 month old loves these blocks and plays with them a lot. This is definitely a toy that the kids will use for a long time. The only issue might be storage - they do take up space so if the boy lives in a small home the set might take up a lot of room. Another idea might be a Mega blocks wagon - around $30 - still a block set but the blocks store in the wagon. No batteries required there either.

I would not have a three-year old play with this because of the choking hazards. It comes with a lot of miniature accessories, like a hand dryer, for example, that a three-year old could easily put in their mouth.

Yes. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old. My youngest has been playing with it since he turned 1. It started out a little tall for him, but that didn't keep him from wanting to play with it. Now he is plenty tall enough to play with it (and he is not "of the charts" tall or anything).

i bought this for my 2 year olds 2nd bday she was started to get into playing with this kind of stuff so i decided to try it out.... but i would recommend it more for a three year old. As long as you are willing to play with the playdoh and this set with the child it it perfect for any age 2 and over. i would recommend getting playdoh tho the dough that comes with this set is terrible :)

Yes! We got it for my son for Christmas and he is 3. I'm not kidding he builds something and plays with this everyday!!

In my opinion, it is going to get boring pretty fast for a three year old. I bought it for my 18 month old and she is almost 2 now and it already seems pretty short for her. I would recommend getting one that is a bit longer....

I gave mine to a 5 year old and now it is sitting on his bureau...........I would say no to a three year old........it is a bit delicate and the controls could be a problem.

We got ours when our son was 3. He still plays with it.my only complaint is that there needs to be more boards to build with

I bought this for my 3.5 year old and he loves it. I would think most kids from age 3-7 would like playing with this set.

My little guy is only 40 inches and it is time to move the pedals from the first setting. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I thought I was just going to move them straight to the 3rd(last) now. Your son may still be able to ride it now, but the time he would have with the toy wouldn't be all that much. As much as we love the car, it may not be a good value for the money for someone so tall. I will agree with Melissa's response that the pedals are hard for a child that is too young. At 3.5 years

I do not think so; I think the "strategy" part is too complex for that age. A three year old could find the animals and put the chips on the board and be excited about favorites and the special cards etc.., but the actual point of the game will be lost on a three year old in my experience.

I don't think a three year old would get a lot of use out of it. I got it for one year old, his 3 year old cousin would be more interested in power ride-ons.

My 4 year old boy LOVES it! It is very easy for him to put on and take the attachments off. None of the parts are too small nor the ropes long enough to be harmful so I don't think it would be a problem for a 3 year old or a supervised 2 year old to play with either. The button on top that makes noises is a lot of fun. I could also see a 5-8 year old who enjoys Octonauts also having a lot of creative fun with it. I hope that answers your question. We also have all the characters, sea creatures and GUP B and C and he plays with them all the time.

It is probably too hard to turn for a 3 year old. You can pre- set & it is pretty easy to turn on and press start...

The product is for 5 and up. I think 3 may be a little too young -- depending on the child I think. These are a different material than legos. And are definitely more "delicate". Hope that helps!

I would say it is better suited for the 3 year old. Our 6 year old has played with it but had commented that it is too 'baby-ish' for her. We found a different digital camera for her that worked well. Our 4 year old adores this camera though.

I think they would be fine for a 3 year old, as there are no small parts and they are really fun. I think a small would be fine for a 3 year old
