Looking for cool 3 year old gift ideas...

Happy Sunday!

With the holiday season fast approaching, we are looking for some cool gift ideas for our three year old son.  I would appreciate any ideas, including your kids' favorite toys, activities, etc.  I am getting burnt out on Thomas the Train ;-)  Thank you so much!

Hi there -
I don't have any ideas myself, but I did want to pass along this link from MSN that I bookmarked earlier this week that seemed to have lots of non-Thomas related suggestions! ;)

Hi there!! No solid ideas for a 3 year old gift.... Aviv is still young so I have little experience. I know that when my brother was 3 years old we invested a lot of money in buying wood train parts that he played with for EVER....

Hmmm... You'd think this would be easy, since I have a 3.5-year old boy and another who thinks he's a three year old boy (almost two though).

Santa's brining us:
radio flyer big wheel
mack truck giant cement mixer (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rND194l9L._AA400_.jpg)
r/c car

Thinking about...
marble run (somebody else on LJ recommended this and I thought it was a good idea)
playmobil sets
hot wheels track

Other big hits this year have been:
Kitchen
Little Tykes ride-in car
Tonka giant dump truck (great for digging in the sand at the park)
Melissa & Doug wooden jigsaw puzzles (24 and 48 pieces)
Games (Candyland, Chutes and Ladders, Hullabaloo, Cariboo, and Zingo)

And of course, Thomas stuff.

We're big into cars and trains and trucks here...if you couldn't tell.

Happy Shopping!

thanks! Gavin has a marble run called Marbulous. I got it at Lakeshore for his bday a few months ago. It is the BIGGEST hit with him and his friends (although I still struggle at building it!). Thanks again, I like your suggestions!

All my son wants to do is play a guitar and sing into a microphone so I'm not much help!
