So I volunteered for the holiday gifts for children program at work. We buy gifts for underprivileged children. I got a 3 year old boy who wants an educational toy. I'm stumped!!! Please help!! Any advice will be appreciated.

Most kids that age love puzzles. Wooden ones that are durable would be great.

Those Leapfrog Leap pads are supposedly pretty cool...

Or Kid'nex...they are a preschool version of K'Nex building blocks...my 4 year old son LOVES those...

Leap Frog. But be sure to buy extra modules. Might be a little pricey but your playing Santa and whatever you spend on this Child will come back to you in Aces.

I agree leap pad..... Its what we are getting Clays niece .... KBtoys.com is having a really good sale right now, and they have three packs of extra books on sale. Its a great gift, both my 5 and 6 year old still are trying to break it

That's funny, I originally started writing Leap Frog but figured it would be too expensive to buy the unit and some books.

If you can afford it, go with the Leap Frog.

Jett says Leap Pad or Leapster. They rock. You can learn to read, add, problem solve, etc. pretty much independantly.

Thanks guy. Looks like it will be something LeapFrog for the little guy. Hope he likes it.

Got to shop quick before the rush. I hate crowds.

Hating crowds is why Amazon.com rocks.

A Jigsaw may be a great gift for the youngster.... just make sure he's supervised if he attempts to plug it in and switch it on

I got my mates 3yo a drum kit for his birthday, but I'm an arse

I'd go with Skymamas idea and get building blocks
