The Best Ride-On Toys for 3 Year Old Boys PLUS The Best Affordable Playhouses

Created a Squidoo page about ride on construction toys I think my grandson and other little boys would Love! The Best Ride-On Toys for 3 Year Old Boys!

I spent an entire weekend researching the ratings and prices for these ride on toys. Keep checking back on that page as the prices seem to change daily! No Kidding!

I also created a page about the best Playhouses for the grandkids! Check them both out for some good ideas for Christmas presents from Santa!

Several of the items I saw at Costco. Their prices are wonderful and Grandparents are always shopping there! The toys frequently sell out! So the advice I give is: when you see it at Costco and you THINK you MIGHT want to buy it later, DON"T wait. Get it. You can always return it.

The Best Ride-On Toys for 3 Year Old Boys

I worked an ENTIRE weekend designing my latest Squidoo Lens (web article)! I am really proud of it. I did lots of research for this one. Days of it! Below is just one of the modules (sections) in this "Top Toys for 3 Year Old Boys" lens:



The Excavator by Kettler is the toy that started my search for the best toys for my grandsons. Bubbie (he is almost 3) saw this Cat Excavator in The Homewood Toy & Hobby Store (in Alabama) and had to be forced to get off of it.

My daughter carried him out the door kicking and screaming. It wasn't because he wanted her to buy it, he just wanted to keep on playing on it. I consider that a Big recommendation.

At $199 plus tax at this particular store, it was pricey. The Excavator only does one thing and it is too heavy to push around the yard. However, its weight could be a plus because it won't tip over easily.

The Ride-On Excavator below, looks perfect for Bubbie's 1 yr old brother, Coop, and his cousin Seth. And it is priced just right!

One Way to Stop the Stress In Your Life - Concentrate on Other Boxes

Do You Have 16 Boxes? is the latest entry on a blog written by Seth Godin.

With all that has been going on in the Stock Market and the American Economy, I found this musing by Seth to be particularly appropriate. If all stock traders and pundits would concentrate on the whole grid and not just on one box (making a buck) maybe the market would quit being so volatile.
