3 year old baby toys: Playing to learn

3 year old boys and girls love to experiment with things, so getting the perfect toy for them can be a bit tricky. Their creativities start to blossom at this age, and If you are looking for some gifts for boys and girls of 3-years age, you have to keep this in mind. Here are some great gift ideas for 3-year old kids.

1. Coloring books - A coloring book with a set of non-toxic crayons can make an ideal set. Kids will love to paint the pictures with colors that they love. Parents can guide their children about correctly coloring the pictures, or leave the kids to experiment on their own. Babies of this age don't know how to take care of things. So it makes sense to buy board books, or even fabric books to make sure that these last long.


2. Moving toys - Toddlers love toys that they can push around. Large cars made of polymer or wood are quite durable, and usually last long. Buy some cars in different colors and you can rest assured that the toddler will stay occupied for quite some time. Kids will also try to compare the toy cars with real cars that they ride or see. This can provide a good start to development of reasoning abilities in the child.


3. Block sets/junior construction sets - These can satisfy the children by letting them build something from scratch with the tools provided. Junior construction sets have blocks of various shapes and sizes, along with miniature screws, bolts, and wrenches. Babies can build many different objects with these sets. Playing with these sets is best done under parental supervision though. The sets often contain small parts, and the toddler can swallow those if left alone with these sets.


4. Tricycles - These are great for promoting growth of muscles of the limbs, while also improving general fitness. Both boys and girls love riding tricycles, and can spend extended periods of time riding around the house or in the lawn. However, parental supervision at all times is recommended, to ensure that the child is riding safely.


5. Play sets - Little boys and girls love these. Play sets resembling kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, airports, garages, etc. appeal to the imagination of babies, because they can relate these sets with real locations. However, parental supervision is always recommended when the baby is playing with these sets. Almost all of these sets contain small parts, and the baby can accidentally swallow one of the parts.

The above items are great gift ideas for occasions like birthday, and Christmas. Babies need to have fun while they are learning, and gifting them toys like these is one of the best ways of ensuring that.
