3 YR OLD GIFT GUIDE
WHAT TO BUY A 3 YEAR OLD
Looking for a gift or toys for a 3 yr old and not sure what they would be into?
So many of the toys are for 3+ yrs, but which ones will they actually like to play with?
It can be hard to buy the right toy for certain ages, but it's ok, we are here to help!
Let us help you choose a fabulous gift that they will love!
Touch memory game
A great game of memory and sensory fun. Choose a wooden shape outline and then pop your hand inside the cotton bag to identify the matching piece by touch.
You can choose from several game variations and they all foster a sense of touch. Try to find similar pairs, for instance with vehicles you would need to find a car and a train or with animals find a fish and a duck.
Or perhaps you could play with a friend - choose 8 outlines each and by taking it in turns, the first to get all of their pieces correct, wins!
Magnetic Tow Truck Puzzle Game
Just like a fishing game but with smashed cars not fish! A game that has some elements of learning, with the cars each having race numbers, and also great for fine motor skills.
Use the magnetic truck to 'tow' the ten numbered cars from the game board. Enjoy challenging fun returning the cars to their correct spots. A creative way to encourage hand-eye and fine motor development as well as a fun way to start learning numbers and counting.
Sort and Count cars
This stacker is not just a case of stack and unstack the blocks.
You can - string the pieces onto a 'needle and thread'
You can - line the pieces in number order.
You can - drive the cars around.
You can - stack and unstack.
A number of different activities which will help develop your child's mental skills. The toy features lacing, sorting and counting functions.
