Her Third Birthday
I feel like such a bad mom. My daughter turns three next week and I have no idea what to get her! I am at a loss. She loves Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake and her pretend kitchen. But she has so much of that, I don't want to get her the same ole same ole. She's a girly, girl, but the gift doesn't have to be. She likes her toy trains and tool workbench quite a bit too. When her brother turned three we got him a scooter. Now she has his scooter and a princess scooter from the neighbor. We don't go overboard, since her birthday is pretty close to Christmas time, we try to spend in the neighborhood of $30 or so. Any ideas or suggestions?? Feeling like such a bad mom.

At that age, my mom did a "creative box" for each of us and we LOVED it!
Plastic container filled with:
- children's safety scissors
- crayons
- water colors
- construction paper
- ribbons
- rhinestones
- fabric swatches
- old t-shirts to decorate
- smock
- brushes
- glue sticks
Decorate the box with her name on it and make it look super special! Replenish or add to it as needed!
You could also hit Goodwill and do a ton of dress-up clothes and costume jewelry!

Books. My DD loves books, and books about things she likes (dinosaurs, tools, ponies) are hits, as are classics like Dr. Seuss.

Hmm, well my daughter turns 3 in March, but I was already thinking about christmas and B-day presents! Try to look at some of the leapfrog learning toys that help tech words and colors! There are so many neat things you can get without spending a lot like puzzles, activity books, baby dolls things, maybe a play tent for inside since its going to start getting cold....try looking on Toys R Us website for ideas!

How about some books? My 2.5 loves books, and I love getting the "Kohl's Cares" books and matching stuffed animals, $5 each, so only $10 a gift. Right now our local Kohl's has "Clifford" books and the characters. Or books about Barbie, Strawberry Shortcake or other characters she's in to would be great. Something new, educational, and not overboard.
