I need suggestions

There will be another 3 year old boy named Oliver - too cute! Anyways, I want to get them a toy or toys that I can pull out at the right time when they need entertainment - ya know something that will occupy them for more than 5 minutes.

Any thoughts???

Our Lil' Family replied: Thomas is obsessed with Lego's right now...maybe that? He plays with them for hours at a time!

lovemy2 replied: A portable DVD player? Coloring Books? Games? Playdoh?

Goodness a houseboat with TWO 3 year olds - boys no less - good luck with that...can't say I would consider that a vacation - I hope the HOUSE part of the boat is BIG

ZandersMama replied: Whenever i'm going with Zander, I get a big bag of dollar store stuff, to haul out when he needs distracting. I like the lego idea too, i love them

momofone replied: Maybe one of those pretend fishing poles for kids. That might be fun. Have fun!

moped replied: Lego wouldn't be a treat to Jack because he plays with it all the time - same with playdoh..........

maybe a trip to the dollar store would be in order
