Toys as a gift for a child 3 years old should be kind, beautiful and smart. Such - to develop thinking and imagination. It will be more interesting for the kid to play, he will want to return to them again and again.
We offer you our win-win options if you are thinking about what to give your child 3 years old.
- Kits for children's creativity
Plasticine, paints, kinetic sand, easel - everything that makes crafts possible.
- Children's books
Poems, fairy tales, stories, adventures, encyclopedias, puzzle books and toy books. They develop imagination, train memory, teach to distinguish between different objects and a palette of colors.
- Board games
It is an inexhaustible source of positive emotions and a good way to communicate with your baby.
- Role toys for adult activities
Such a gift "catches three birds with one stone" - education, entertainment and play. As an option: children's kitchen, dishes, kitchen accessories, household appliances (play washing machine, iron, microwave). Or musical instruments, doctor's kits, etc.
- "Little nothings of life"
Soap bubbles, a luminous bouncing ball, a ball - they cost a penny, but inspire a million.
So that the toy does not get bored, it should not have a specific message. A regular doll or bobblehead is better than stylized Disney princesses or My Little Pony. A children's construction set with large parts is much more exciting than a complex set from which a dinosaur or a car is assembled.
The main thing is the developmental potential of the toy. The simpler it is, the more active the baby is: he himself will have to speculate and invent who his toy will be today. When choosing a gift for children 3 years old, do not be guided by the price. Not everything that is expensive is good for the baby.

What to give a girl for 3 years
Kinetic sand
It is really very difficult to break away from him, even for adults. Kinetic sand is delicate, soft, it pours viscidly between the fingers. You want to crush it again and again. At the same time, the sculpted figure keeps its shape perfectly. We built it, enjoyed the game and destroyed everything, so that we could start playing again tomorrow.
- The sand does not stick to hands and clothes.
- Its silicone component does not dry out over time, it is constantly wet to the touch.
- Spilled on the floor - it does not fly in all directions, so it is easy to collect.
- The sand is non-toxic, does not cause allergies, microorganisms do not live in it.
Mum Maria shares his impression of kinetic sand on one of the forums: “My child immediately figured out what the sandbox was for and enthusiastically began to pour the sand into the molds. Naturally, during the game, the sand flies in all directions and at first it scared me a little. But as the manufacturer promises, it is not difficult to assemble it. To do this, you just need to take a small amount of sand and walk it over the scattered particles, which immediately stick to the bulk and on the surface where the child is playing, not a trace of sand remains. However, I still put polyethylene or oilcloth under the sandbox to make cleaning easier.».
Play tent
Kids love play tents. This is their personal space, where you can play mothers-daughters, princess and whatever your heart desires. If there are several children in the family, choose an awning with a tunnel and several houses. Everyone will have their own corner, and you can walk along the manhole to visit each other.
It is also a practical gift: put the scattered toys there and - order!
To avoid stuffy in the synthetic "halabuda", choose houses with mesh walls and windows.
From review Margaritas: «I bought a children's tent at a time when my daughter did not want to play on her own and constantly followed me with her tail. I laid a bedspread for her, put a pillow, she dragged a bunch of toys and books in there and climbed into it. She played in it all day, my happiness knew no bounds! Of course, over time, interest began to wane, but still, quite often she climbs there and plays. She also loves that the curtain is closed and no one spies on what she is doing there. If the kids come to visit, then everyone wants to play in it».
Dollhouse
The most it is - a dollhouse as a gift for a girl for 3 years. This is a kind of textbook for "adult" life. The baby will learn to manage and equip her "nest", create comfort and maintain order.
- If you already have toy furniture, buy an empty house. The hostess will come up with her own design.
- Well, since you have not acquired doll interior items, a furnished dwelling is a good choice.
Closed and wall-mounted houses are suitable for compact nurseries. A spacious room is just right for a house, open from all sides. You can play with such a company - it won't be cramped.
Svetlana: «I chose a dollhouse for my daughter according to several criteria. It is large, three-story, so the daughter can play not only alone, but also with her friends. The set immediately includes furniture, it does not need to be purchased separately. The house was sold together with three dolls, but the daughter immediately settled her own there, there was enough space for everyone. The quality of small parts is good, even when accidentally stepped on them, they did not crack».
Denis: «Our daughter has a lot of different dolls, but there is no house. Therefore, my wife and I decided to give her such a dollhouse for her birthday. My daughter was just beaming with joy. I was very happy with such a gift. The dollhouse is very durable and high quality. My daughter plays with her dolls all day and fantasizes. This house is very useful for a child, as it develops thinking, teaches to fantasize».
Finger doll
Nice, soft, warm finger pupa! The girl will play with pleasure. And you will be carried away. Judge for yourself:
- with the baby you will act out sketches in the literal sense "on the fingers", which explain what is good and what is bad;
- the child will "live" the situation and learn morality.
The result of such games is the development of speech, memory, creativity and imagination.
Mosaic
Laying out pictures from multi-colored details is useful and exciting. Mosaic develops fine motor skills (there will be no problems with poor handwriting at school), stimulates the development of speech, memory and attentiveness.
But that's not all. Jigsaw puzzle games teach much more than just finger dexterity:
- count the cells, which means - master the basics of counting,
- do not confuse anything - turn on attentiveness,
- to bring the matter to the end - to exercise perseverance and concentration.
If the baby is not limited to ready-made tasks, but comes up with his own options, then imagination and artistic taste will develop. You will grow a creative personality!
As a gift for a girl for 3 years, choose a classic or magnetic mosaic. Before purchasing, make sure that the toy does not smell and that the parts can be inserted into the holes without effort.
Arina writes: “Our Technok mosaic has 120 pieces. Colors: red, blue, yellow and white. The plus is that the parts are not heavy, they are made of polypropylene and polystyrene. The downside is that it is undesirable for children up to 3 years old to be allowed to play like that. To prevent children from sticking in their mouths.
The chips are very easy to use. The child easily shoves them in and takes them out».

Railway
The railway is an excellent gift for a boy for 3 years. Kids love to drive on their own, so save the self-propelled battery-powered models for later. A good option is a simple bright train. The main thing is that it is safe for the child:
- large parts,
- the structure is easy to assemble and securely attached,
- no chemical "aroma".
Review of the "Blue Carriage" model from Ilchishina Elena Viktorovna: «Good build quality. Everything is as in the description. The child is very happy. Batteries are needed, so the amount of the gift increases slightly. BUT, the child is happy, so it's worth it».
Scooter
The scooter is the ideal first transport. It is easier to accelerate on it than on a bicycle, and if something goes wrong, you can jump off.
- Give preference to an aluminum frame - it is more reliable than a plastic one.
- Large diameter wheels will provide cross-country ability on any terrain.
- If the handlebar is adjustable in height, the scooter will grow with your little one.
- The rear metal foot brake is the safest. Manual fires slower, the scooter may roll over when braking.
Riding a scooter develops coordination and vestibular apparatus in a child. She trains not only the legs, but also the muscles of the back and abs. It would seem that they are primitive pokatushki, but they turn into a full-fledged workout in the fresh air. Do you agree?
Review of the Itrike scooter: “We are thinking about purchasing a scooter for the baby. And here he is - our handsome Itrike.
In short - a bomb! The darkness of the benefits.
- Firstly, this model can withstand a load of up to 60 kg, thanks to the rear twin wheels. It is clear that the child will either kill him, or will ride until he comes of age. It is also convenient that while dad is carrying a child in a stroller, mom is riding alongside, and not dragging a scooter)).
- Secondly, it has a height-adjustable handle.
- Thirdly, it has a very wide footboard - it conveniently becomes two legs.
The brake is at the back of the scooter above the wheels, press with your foot and it stops. Well, in principle, such a scooter is easy to control - it is controlled by the tilt of the body, it is very stable due to the fact that there are two wheels in front (those scooters with two wheels in the back and one in front are less stable). It can be easily disassembled, a button is pressed from below, and the handle is detached from the platform.
My baby, despite her young age, does not get off him. The truth is still skating with the help of my mother. And several of our friends have already bought it too.».

Electric car
The car, "like a daddy", delights any toddler. This is the best gift for a 3 year old boy. Some models imitate "real" cars:
- they start with a key
- there is a gearbox for 2-3 speeds and reverse,
- the speed is decent, as for a toy - from 6 to 8 km / h.
Therefore, when choosing an electric vehicle, make demands on safety.
- The car must be equipped with a seat belt.
- Impact-resistant bumper cushions impacts in a collision.
- High ground clearance, wide foam wheels and four-wheel drive withstand bumping on park lawns and broken asphalt.
Inna I. Lapchinskaya advises: "I recommend to all parents, grandmothers, grandfathers to buy for children and grandchildren - you will not regret it! The son-in-law collected with great pleasure, as a designer, i.e. fun not only for children! (Collected, by the way, very quickly). The price-quality ratio is optimal. The grandson does not get out of the car. Beautiful, sonorous, easy to control, suitable for off-road driving (we use it in the country, outside the asphalt). Holds charge for a long time».
The children's designer
Amazing thing! Imagine: a child learns with his own hands how to build a house or a tower, a car or a tank.
The more elements there are in the set, the more frivolous children's fantasy will be. The main thing for a three-year-old is that the parts fit well into the grooves and hold the structure. It is worth choosing a set with large elements. The kid will not swallow them and will not lose them.
The designer develops motor skills, logical thinking and imagination. With its help, the child learns to distinguish colors.
Mum Ira writes in his review about the Technok Techno constructor: “I bought it two years ago, and we still have our favorite toy. Develops imagination very well. We build everything that is possible.
Disadvantages:
- not eternal! If you step, it hurts and the cube breaks».
Cars for games
Bright, colorful, well-detailed, reliable - what kind of boy would refuse such a gift? Everyone loves to drive an exact replica of a dump truck, passenger car, motorcycle, and feel like an adult and serious man.
Interest in a typewriter will last long if it has interesting details. For example:
- retractable ladder;
- the driver's, passenger's and rear doors can be opened and removed;
- the hood rises and locks in the upper position;
- the front wheels are turned by the steering wheel;
- the body is lowered, raised and fixed with a support;
- behind a hook for which to cling to other toys.
While playing with the car, the child learns a lot about the features of vehicles, structure, structural elements, purpose. He develops imagination and gives free rein to fantasy, imagining himself as a skillful driver and a brave savior. And by bringing moving parts of machines to work, it improves fine motor skills, dexterity and coordination of movements.
Bezushko Tatiana Alexandrovna about the Maisto BMW HP2 Sport motorcycle: "The wheels turn, the steering wheel turns, the rear-view mirrors are removed, the child likes it - and this is the main thing».
