No no no! You are not wrong at all! My daughter turned 3 two weeks ago....and I bought her this nice simple inexpensive Art Board (Chalk on one side, Dry Erase on the other) and SHE Uses it more than her other toys that she had received! Her Grandmother brought in some Cake and Balloons to her Preschool/Daycare and that was it....because they won't remember at that age...no need to throw a HUGE Shindig...I wanted to but it really isn't the time and I need to start putting money away for her
(that is the only THING I had wished I had done!)
