Resources for parents to get through the challenges.

21 Fun Things to Do with a 3-Year-Old: Put that Toddler Energy to Good Use

If you’re the parent of a rowdy toddler, you’re not alone! Fortunately, you can positively channel all that energy and curiosity with our suggestions for 21 things to do with a 3-year-old below.

Three-year-olds are amazing, they have such a sense of wonder about the world and are so full of fun. But keeping them busy can feel like a full-time job.

We have put together some fun activities that you can do with your 3-year-old . Whether you’re stuck inside on a rainy day or embracing it boot-in-puddle style, these 21 great ideas help develop creativity, fine motor skills, imaginative play. (Not to mention, keeping them busy and entertained!)

In this article

Sensory Play Activities

Pretend play/imaginative play activities, five fun outdoor activities for 3-year-olds, six fine motor skills activities for 3-year-olds, what should a 3 year old know educationally, should a three-year-old know the alphabet, should a three-year-old be potty trained, can 3-year-olds draw people, fun with toddlers: summary, ten indoor activities for 3-year-olds.

There are a wealth of activities that you can do with a 3-year-old when the weather is less than favorable. As much as kids may enjoy the freedoms of the outdoors, this doesn’t mean you should underestimate the importance of some creative ideas and a few pieces of paper!

Sensory stimulation is a vital way to develop the sensory pathways and promote healthy development in your child. This stimulation can also promote wonderful opportunities for communication and strengthening bonds.

1. Playdough

A great fun way to get your children to use their imagination and make some amazing creations.

You can also have some fun making your own salt dough if you find you don’t have play dough to hand.

This is also a fun activity for them to practice their fine motor skills. Just provide them with some simple tools for cutting, chopping, and shaping the dough. Working the dough hones the strength and coordination of those tiny fingers and hands whilst they play.

2. Rice and Beans

This activity is so much fun and really helps your 3-year-olds to use their imagination.

All you need is some dry rice or beans and then lots of different-sized containers for them to pour them back and forth. Give them spoons, scoops, cups, and even a mesh strainer, and see the fun they have.

You can even encourage your kid to have some fun by mark-making, or showing them how to draw in the different textures.

For some added fun you could always dye the rice a range of colors using food coloring. This gives an extra layer of creativity to this activity for all kids and can help your three-year-olds to recognize colors and their names.

3. Water Beads

Water beads are a fantastic way to make learning fun and improve children’s hand-eye coordination through sensory play, and they can also double up as a fun outdoor activity.

You can use a variety of play ideas to improve kids’ pouring and counting skills and even include other toys and puzzles to create your own racecourse to blow the water beads through!

4. Arts and Crafts

Arts and crafts cover a broad range of activities from finger painting , using pipe cleaners, working with a glue stick, cutting out, and using chalk or markers.

You really can let their imaginations run wild. Depending on the time of year you could make cards using colored paper, do some potato printing or use some toy cars and run them through the paint to see the patterns that their wheels make.

These activities provide a fun sensory experience for your little one.

Making fun craft activities doesn’t need to be expensive either, often activities for 3-year-olds can involve several steps such as outdoor exploring to collect materials that can be attached to colored paper using a glue stick or printing using leaves and other items that you may have collected.

You could even just print off some coloring sheets and let your child have some fun exploring their own ideas.

5. Making Lunch

Another great way to involve your preschoolers in daily activities is to let them help you prepare lunch. It’s the ultimate hands-on task that can help to improve their relationship with food in the future too!

Having more control over what your little ones choose and prepare for food can increase the likelihood of them clearing their plate. It also taps into different developmental domains, eliminating the need for lots of toys overwhelming them.

You can help them get creative with different shapes and patterns when chopping up fruit and veggies and make games out of everyday activities to promote wonderful fun for your little ones.

Not only can cooking together improve your kids reading skills, but it can also teach your child valuable life skills that will stay with them throughout the course of their life.

If your young kids struggle to maintain focus on a task then you can draw or write the recipe onto some paper and watch them stay focused to ensure a great outcome.

One of the most widely recognized methods of improving kids’ speech and imagination is through play.

Many a qualified professional says this quality time together can make learning great fun. It helps teach kids exciting new ways to play in the world around them as well as improve fine motor skills, without the need for expensive toys.

Imaginative play activities for 3-year-olds work best when your child can re-enact experiences you have noticed them taking an interest in. L their ideas and imagination take the lead to enable open-ended fun with no structure.

6. Reading Books

Although you may already read with your three-year-old every day, you can make your child’s face light up by adding funny faces and voices. Not only will it delight your little one, but it will help them to identify characterizations and follow narratives.

Kids love this type of quality time together when you read books; eye contact can help to immerse your three-year-old in the story further.

It will promote a great bonding experience and help your kids associate reading as a positive experience (a net benefit well into adulthood).

There is plenty of information online showing the best books to read to your kids , and sometimes this website provides printouts for activities related to these books.

Before reading a book you could mentally take some ideas for a nice list of questions you can ask throughout the story to encourage your kid’s imagination. This will help make the most of that childlike creativity and vivid imagination when reading books with them.

7. Put On a Puppet Show

One of the most overlooked and hilarious activities for 3-year-olds is to put on a puppet show using anything you can find around the house.

You can set up a stage, make up stories together and see what great ideas your little one can come up with in their very own first performance.

Your child will love something as simple as a sock puppet, or you can even encourage them to draw a paper puppet for you to play with together.

You could use this as a chance to re-enact a difficult scenario your child may have encountered. Address their emotions at the time to enable a healthy outcome to any tantrums in the future.

8. Run a Store

Running a store is a fantastic role play experience that kids love, you can take on any role and even spend time doing fun crafts to create a store sign beforehand.

Kids love to mimic the activities they see in everyday life, and you can often find many children’s toy websites that will feature their own pretend play and toy sections to help your kids take part in their favorite roleplay scenarios.

Toddler Teatime: The Best Tea Sets for Imaginative Play

You could sell board games, pretend to play in a bowling alley or even include their own favorite activities into the play on the days when you don’t want to leave the house!

Engaging in these forms of communication gives your kids the chance to improve their language and writing skills by using phrases they wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to use.

9. Safari Adventure

This is a great activity for your 3-year-old or any other kids for that matter! Your child will love this play set up and can be fully customizable using the toys your child has available.

You can get creative in the house, by drawing on paper to make little hiding spots for your safari animals, or take your child outdoors and hide their safari toys around for them to spot!

You could put together a list on a piece of paper and develop their knowledge of animals by printing fun fact sheets from any website your child enjoys and turn this pretend play into a great learning experience.

10. Doctors and Nurses

Setting up your child their very own hospital playset is a great way to eliminate any fears your toddlers may have of a medical setting and familiarize them with some of the familiar medical terms and equipment.

With some paper signs, or even some website print outs you can decorate the walls to replicate a doctor’s office and treat your patients (dolls, toys, anything your child wants!) and let their creative sides go wild.

One of the best ways to cheer up a grumpy preschooler is by adventuring on outdoor activities and letting their imagination take over, from a scavenger hunt to pretend play, you can find so many great ideas for activities that your three-year-olds are going to find fun.

11. Mud Kitchen

Mud kitchens are a staple preschooler activity that helps to make learning fun by improving knowledge of the outdoors.

The best part about a mud kitchen is that it is fully adaptable and can be used for older kids too.

From a muddy tea party to mixing bowls full of grass and seeds, the number of ideas for your 3-year-olds mud kitchen can lead to hours of great activities and endless fun craft, without having to worry about any mess on your kitchen floor.

12. Toy Car Race Tracks

It often feels like you can miss out on all the fun if your garden space is less than desirable. Even if you only have a small space, this doesn’t mean imaginative play needs to be limited to inside the house.

You can create an obstacle course for your child and their toy cars to race through by drawing chalk on the floor to create a fun race track kids will love. It’s simple fun stuff like this that makes the best activities for 3-year-olds.

13. Blow Bubbles

Bubbles are a great way to play with any kid of all ages. Taking some out and about with you and your preschoolers is a great game to involve others and even watch your kid make friends with others effortlessly!

You can make some great games with bubbles which require lots of imagination that your kid will love. Some firm favorites include-

• Making bubble wands
• Hula hoop bubbles
• Clap the bubbles
• Add paint to your bubbles

You can make your own bubbles by mixing 1 cup of dish soap with warm water and bending an old coat hanger to make a DIY bubble blower and letting your kids enjoy this fun activity.

14. Board Games

Board games are not only a great idea for activities for 3-year-olds, they can be a fun way to include kids and toddlers of all ages and teach them wonderful new ways to solve puzzles and play a game in a social setting with the whole family.

You could even include it as a once-a-week treat to spend some quality family time together doing something you all enjoy.

Even simple board games can help to improve hand-eye coordination and dexterity in any child, as well as teaching the valuable lesson of learning to follow rules and wait your turn.

Your 3-year-old may be struggling with the idea of sharing their toys and involving others in their game, but a board game can help to encourage your 3-year-old or any other child to play as a team and work together.

15. Car Wash

Water play is always a winner with kids–and you can also get a free car wash out of this activity!

Fill a bucket with water and some toddler-safe shampoo/soap and give them a variety of brushes, sponges, and cloths to clean with. You can get them to clean the family car, a favorite  toy fire truck , their bike or scooter, or even an older sibling’s bicycle.

On a hot day, you can finish up the activity by letting them rinse off their car wash with the hose before drying up and showing off their clean new ride around the block.

16. Threading Objects

Threading beads is a fantastic and highly versatile activity that focuses on supporting your child as they work on those fine motor skills.

It will involve their perceptual, visual, and pincer grip as they focus on correctly threading the objects onto their string.

This can be a great calming activity to relieve stress and unwind after a hard day and allow your child to get creative and explore the different patterns they can make within their beads of choice

You can use anything to make this activity come to life which is a fantastic way to reduce spending on new toys you don’t have room for. You can thread any beads of choice from wooden beads, metal, buttons, leaves, felt, or even shapes.

You don’t have to use string either! It could be spaghetti, pipe cleaners, macaroni, a colander, holes in a lid, or anything you can find that would fit the activity!

Threading is a highly versatile activity that your child will enjoy at any age and can be highly adaptable to your three-year-old preferences.

17. Building Blocks

One of the most highly recognizable toddler toys is the wide variety of stacking and building blocks that are all designed to have a versatile approach to aid their learning.

These blocks can be solid and easy to stack or interlink to focus on their engineering skills.

Structured block play is highly adaptable and can help improve color work and mathematic skills as a visual representation can help your little ones to understand basic mathematic concepts easier.

18. Webbed Baskets

Grab a small basket and some string and watch your kids love trying to solve this puzzle!

You can alter the amount of yarn you use in order to suit their abilities with this task and give them some tweezers, tongs or even a clothes peg to fish out small toys you place under the layers of string.

You can use any toys you have to hand such as plastic spiders, wooden pegs, or figurines your child loves! This activity is suitable for older children too if you want to improve their fine motor skills.

19. Gem Patterns

If you want to start focusing on patterns and shapes within letters then this is a great idea that kids love!

Using any buttons, beads, or shiny gems you have, trace a pattern onto some paper and get your child to follow the pattern with their chosen material.

You can even get them to focus more on creating a repetitive pattern with the colors of their buttons and beads to work on their concentration skills.

You could also alter this activity to include pipe cleaners and get your kids to bend and wiggle them into the right shapes and focus their hand strength.

20. Fidget Objects

Making your own fidget pillow isn’t as difficult as you may think, although there are several available online to purchase.

You can introduce a variety of different developmental activities to help improve your child’s skills. You can include zippers, buttons, switches, locks, or even doorknobs and attach them to a board or block for your toddler to focus on the individual skills that they’re most interested in.

21. Scissor Skills

Introducing the use of scissors can be a highly scary topic for a 3-year-old, but around this age, it is perfectly normal for them to develop an interest in this exciting-looking object.

Showing your child the safest ways to use scissors is the best way to introduce the use of scissors and also improve their visual-motor skills as well as an appreciation and understanding for appropriate tool usage.

There are a few fun activities you can introduce the use of scissors to your toddler:

• Cutting Playdough
• Cutting foam sheets
• Cutting string/ yarn
• Cutting paper

All of these methods are a great way to get creative with your little one, but of course, make sure you watch over them as they work on this new skill so you can appropriately help them learn how much fun this can be.

If your child is already familiar with the use of scissors you can draw some interesting patterns on paper for them to follow along with their scissors to work on their steady hand and gripping skill ready for all the crafts to come!

Frequently Asked Questions

As parents, we can spend a lot of time worrying about our children’s development and if they are meeting the correct milestones. Here are some frequently asked questions about your three-year-old to help.

At three years of age, most kids should be able to correctly name common colors, memorize parts of stories, understand a better concept of time, have a wider creative thought, understand differences in sizing and notice the difference in similar and different features.

By this age, your child will usually not remember the whole alphabet, but often will be able to remember around half the letters and their sounds in order to connect a letter to their sound.

Most children will not fully master potty training until their fourth year, although if you start around 18 months of age then they may begin being fully potty trained during their third year.

Usually, around this age, a drawing of a person will emerge with a “tadpole” style, and a head attached directly to the legs with some arms sticking from the sides.

Filling each day with exciting and entertaining age-appropriate activities can seem like an overwhelming task, but having access to open-ended toys and multi-purpose materials can do the world of good for your little one and help them play and learn together.

At home or in kindergarten children can develop fine motor and speaking skills, sensory perception, logical thinking, memory, attention and concentration ability, using play-based learning materials WUNDERKIDDY.

Children’s speaking ability also develops rapidly at the age of 3 years old. Their vocabulary allows them to construct simple sentences and ask many questions about the world around .

How to get a child involved into learning

Remembering that preschoolers cannot sit still for a long time; all the learning activities are to be done in a play form. Keep watch what your child likes the most and find appropriate games for him/her. Then the learning activity will be done with a huge involvement and motivation.

Worksheets designed specifically for 3-year-olds serve as an invaluable resource in the early stages of childhood development. These educational tools are tailored to meet the unique learning needs and abilities of toddlers, providing a structured yet engaging way to introduce basic concepts such as colors, shapes, numbers, and letters. The interactive nature of worksheets encourages young children to explore and learn at their own pace, fostering a sense of achievement and independence.

For 3-year-olds, who are naturally curious and eager to discover the world around them, worksheets offer a fun and stimulating way to channel their energy into productive learning experiences. They help develop fine motor skills as children learn to hold pencils, trace lines, and color within boundaries, preparing them not just for academic success, but for everyday tasks. Moreover, these activities support cognitive development, enhancing attention, memory, and problem-solving skills.

Incorporating worksheets into the daily routine of 3-year-olds also promotes the development of concentration and patience, as they learn to focus on completing tasks. This early introduction to structured learning paves the way for a smoother transition to more formal education settings in the future.

Ultimately, worksheets for 3-year-olds are more than just simple paper activities; they are stepping stones that build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and development.

Don’t miss my new book Everyday Preschool , it’s the best book for parents who want to make sure their child is learning every day.

Finding the right activities for 3 year olds should be easy… but it isn’t. This summer my daughter and I have had a lot of time to play. Extra time in fact because she decided when she turned 3 to give up naps. With her brother home from school for the summer, my attempts at forcing the issue have been met with refusal. I am going to try again in a month when her brother returns to school but in the meantime, she has quiet time, earlier bedtimes and lots of simple activities like these peppered throughout the day. For more specific games for 3 year olds check out our post here with our favorites! If you have a younger child check out our similar list of 75 TV Free Activities For Toddlers .

Thank you for the fun reminders! Sometimes it’s easy to fall into similar patterns and it’s nice to mix it up with simple, but different fun activities.

July 9, 2020 at 7:26 am

This is so great I am going to be running a camp soon for 4 little girls that are toddlers and I am 13!

Pragmaticmom says

August 6, 2013 at 12:56 pm

What great ideas to keep toddlers busy!

June 26, 2020 at 12:13 am

72 is an everyday lately and I didnt even teach her to do that. Kids and their natural fascination with choo choo trains.

To add to the list, how about build a castle out of blocks

Kirstylee @ Moms Have Questions Too says

August 6, 2013 at 12:58 pm

These are so great. I often get caught up in the big projects and forget to do the simple things like these. Plus, this is a great list to turn to when netflix is getting tempting. 😉

Allison McDonald says

August 6, 2013 at 3:57 pm

Exactly! My 3 year old is watching Ni Hao Kailan right now , every day isn’t always perfect and that’s OK.

September 18, 2019 at 11:28 am

Great post. Thank you very much. I’m not a big fan of TV, so this compilation should definitely help us a lot as a family to have lots of fun away from TV

Liisa Direen says

August 6, 2013 at 3:22 pm

That’s a great list, thank you. I’d like to share of my favourite activities with my 3 yr old son. I have a container of junk I have collected, scraps, bottle tops broken toys etc. and we set it up as rubbish tip. He loves getting his toy Rubbish truck and moving the junk around and taking it to the pretend rubbish dump. Simple and entertains him for ages 🙂

June 12, 2016 at 11:29 am

I love this idea!

Peggy Carbajal says

December 9, 2020 at 7:44 am

I have empty boxes of various sizes that I have taped shut. We use to stack and topple over. Also can be used to sort from smallest to largest , shortest to tallest.

Lori Morales says

August 6, 2013 at 4:03 pm

Luv the of handy fun! We play with shaving cream quite often on paper, a tarp, cardboard or even the tub. Adding food coloring and sponge brushes if we feel like making it rainbow fun.

August 6, 2013 at 4:09 pm

Balloons and noodles

OneMommy says

August 10, 2013 at 7:22 pm

Terrific collection of ideas! Definitely sharing this!

Naveen Jain says

November 14, 2013 at 11:42 am

We do beans/rice/pasta in measuring cups to teach about volume

January 11, 2014 at 9:01 pm

This is a great list of activities for 3 year olds. I particularly like the one about playing dentist with dolls. Never thought of that one. I put something similar together on my website http://www.excitedkids.com

Feel free to use any of the ideas their for your website.

Danielle says

My 3yrs old likes to paint the exterior of the house with water and a paintbrush

October 19, 2014 at 6:49 am

I used to do this for hours when I was a kid! So much fun!!

EMMA ASTILL says

March 4, 2014 at 4:02 pm

Dishwashing liquid some food colouring and a straw. Blow Bubbles above the height of the container then place a piece of paper over the top to make a cool bubbly picture.

Suzanne says

March 28, 2014 at 2:50 pm

Allison, this is an amazing collection of activities. I have been doing a series of everyday activities and the different developmental domains. I just had to add a link to your activities to the end of my post on Cognitive Development. Of course, I have pinned & shared on fb, & twitter, too. Thanks for all the work that went into this post.

March 29, 2014 at 7:19 pm

What a great idea or series. So often we get wowed by the big shiny complicated things when really the basics are what kids need the most.

Caitlyn says

April 6, 2014 at 8:51 am

Thanks for the creative Ideas I have a 3 year old brother and it gets hard to think of different things to do with him when I watch him!!!!!

Kellie says

August 24, 2014 at 8:03 pm

I just stumbled across your blog via Pinterest, but I have to comment! This is a great list of everyday activities to do with a preschooler, but my favorite part about the list is that it isn’t activities for “girls” or “boys”. It is just a great list of kid friendly activities! Thanks so much for sharing!

August 25, 2014 at 9:28 pm

I have a hard time labeling children. I know and respect why some lists are like that but I prefer to just say kids.

June 12, 2016 at 11:32 am

That’s great! I got boys that love to play with dolls. No need to label kids. They all love to have fun!

Susan Morris says

August 9, 2016 at 1:52 pm

A hard time labeling kids? Since when did calling a girl – a girl – and a boy – a boy – become labeling? It’s what they are!?!?!?! What is wrong with you people???

August 11, 2016 at 8:28 am

I am referring to labeling an activity as something a boy would like vs what a girl would like. I don’t do lists like that – I have taught far too many kids who have busted all gender specific activities for me ever to write something like that and feel like there was any girth to it.

Richie says

January 27, 2017 at 7:18 am

Me and my daughter see how many clothes we can get on until we’re big and round.

January 27, 2017 at 7:46 am

This is my favorite comment ever 🙂

Gabriella Taylor says

April 22, 2016 at 11:37 am

Well, she did start this off saying these are activities with her 3 year old daughter. Yes, a lot of the activities don’t depend on the child’s gender, but there are girl specific ones in there. Unless, of course, you’re raising a boy on dress-up and dolls, although that would be unorthodox.

May 4, 2016 at 5:11 pm

So Barbie’s friend Ken and GI Joe aren’t dolls? When children play with dolls it’s an opportunity to discover how they interpret the world. Nothing unorthodox about that.

Melissa says

June 10, 2016 at 7:08 pm

My son has trucks, planes, duplo, Batman, an Elsa doll, multiple Disney figurines ranging from Buzz Lightyear to Cinderella…toys are just toys until we put a gender label on them.

RILEY! says

October 20, 2020 at 7:39 pm

i personally like the last one!

September 2, 2014 at 5:27 pm

Great ideas! My girls love when I hide a surprise (a toy, utensil, sock, etc) in a pillow case and they have to stick their hand in and guess what it is without being able to see it.

December 31, 2014 at 7:09 pm

When my son was little I would roll out butcher paper onto the kitchen floor and tape it in place. Then he would paint all over it and we’d use it through out the year for wrapping presents. You could use plain brown paper as well. Stores sell it in rolls. We also used to go for a hike in our local park and turn over rocks and look for lizards and snakes! we used to make Christmas ornaments together too. He’s 25 now and we made some together this year. Good memories:)

Natalie says

October 16, 2016 at 5:53 am

Love the idea of wrapping Christmas presents in the butcher paper! I have a little artist that’s just waiting to create some wrapping paper. Thanks!

Sharon Chastain says

February 9, 2020 at 7:03 pm

When my brother and I were little, we used to roll out a big sheet of butcher paper and then draw an aerial view of a city complete with roads. We used to use his little cars and we would drive all over our city. The maps got bigger as we got bigger. I did this again with his grandson and we spent hours deciding what to put in our city. We had a library, a Starbucks Drive through, a school, a fire station you name it! We had a park and we had our homes. We built our houses out of blocks right on top of the city. Perfect for a 5-8 year old. Entertains for hours!

January 9, 2015 at 3:24 pm

Sometimes it’s a lot of fun with my niece to take different colored construction paper, kids scissors, and a glue stick and just let them cut out different shapes and glue it to another piece of paper, they can also color it. If you’re worried about a mess, you can use a plastic table cloth. Also fun to have a mini chalkboard and paint with water and a paintbrush 🙂 going to some place like a park with ducks and feeding then is always a lot of fun. I’ve also had a lot of fun making bread with them and letting them dump ingredients in and watching it rise. Always fun to put food coloring in too

January 20, 2015 at 10:34 pm

Its really great to see so many activities. all of the are fun learning activities.

July 30, 2015 at 11:46 pm

My stairs are carpeted. I put a single bed (foam) mattress on them. Kids have GREAT fun sliding down it! You could also use an open cardboard box.

March 20, 2020 at 8:02 am

Or a mummy sleeping bag I did this all the time as a kid in the house I grew up in!

August 2, 2015 at 5:10 am

This is brilliant! I have a three year old niece and all she ever wants to do is play doctors with me. As much as I love her, I absolutely hate playing doctors now. This list should keep us busy and hopefully distract her from the doctor game

When I was younger, we used to get a glass of washing up liquid and food colouring, blow bubbles through a straw and put a piece of paper underneath, keep blowing until the bubbles overflow and you get a lovely picture xx

November 23, 2015 at 9:39 am

My 3 year old has always loved tying knots in a 2 foot length of rope- tying chairs, trees, back of the seat in the car…keeps him busy and QUIET for hours! At some point I will get him a book of knots to see if he can follow the instructions.

April 8, 2016 at 7:24 am

Thanks for the tips!! Duly noted! A simple game my kids have enjoyed since they were babies is you screw up a piece of paper and put it in one hand. Then you pass it quickly from one hand to the next and then suddenly stop with the paper in one of your hands and turn both your fists down. The child then has to remember which hand the paper ended up in. It’s great when you’re out and about and need sudden entertainment.

August 20, 2016 at 11:15 am

If you have long-ish grass (clover works well), you can tie the end(s) of a blade of grass into loops and loop them together into a chain. With my three year old, I tie the knots and let her loop the next one in. After you get a long chain, you can decorate yourselves or a chair or a tree with the chains. When she gets older, she might be able to tie the knots herself.

Yogini says

December 8, 2016 at 9:48 pm

What about ball games. There is no mention of that.

December 9, 2016 at 12:31 pm

Theresa says

December 23, 2016 at 10:56 am

This is very cool but i wish it had more details and had more games rather than crafts. Thanks anyway.

February 9, 2020 at 7:54 pm

Pick up some used small tennis rackets at a second hand sports store. Get some big nerf balls or pressure-less balls and then go out to a local tennis court. Forget about the net. See who can hit the most balls. Teaches hand/eye coordination. Older kids can get a point every time the ball goes over the net. Let it bounce as many times as needed or even let it roll. Have fun and run and hit. See who can hit the farthest or play follow the leader.

Plant a garden with your kids. My kids absolutely love pulling carrots up, and will eat tomatoes and mint leaves right from the garden-only if they plant it though;). Also, worm digging and ant watching is hours of entertainment;)

Kim Bierma says

July 9, 2019 at 10:44 pm

My 3 year old grandson loves to: 1. Use a blunt Fiskars scissors to trim the bushes with me, or clean up weeds in the back patio. Cut cut cut. Also cuts pieces of construction paper and puts them in a cup.

2. He like to play his guitar (my ukelele) while I play my big guitar and Paw Paw joins us to sing familiar song, IE muffin man. He’s big into doing things “toGETHer” w Grammy and Paw Paw.

3 Each planted a lily. He had plenty of freedom during that tine to find worms, use his growl to dig, and water things to his heart’s content.

yo waddup this nice

March 22, 2020 at 6:08 pm

How about: In your house or apartment, find everything you can that is blue. Which is biggest? Which is smallest?

Make up a silly story about one of the things.

Shannon says

April 23, 2020 at 2:02 pm

My daughter loves to play kitchen! she watches me cook and she likes to do it, too… or at least she pretends too!!

July 22, 2020 at 6:33 pm

I think these are great Ideas for kiddos! Thank you for being so thoughtful and sharing. I have a small round table in my kitchen and I have a box of scratch paper in my home office that had a printing error or something on one side and blank on the other. I took them and taped them together overlaying them together, tucking them under the table and taping them under as well. I gave them markers and crayons and they just colored or drew all over it. I would leave it out for a week or so as a table cloth. One of my granddaughters drew all over one with me and it was a lot of fun. My grandson came over a couple of days later (after she had left) and we had to stay in because of sheltering in. It so happened it was his birthday a few days later and we added a few things to our colorful table cloth with extra drawings and said he had a very special birthday table cloth that was left by his cousin. It was a good time.

Nana Edwards says

August 19, 2020 at 10:06 am

Thanks for the nice list and the great ideas in comments also. This Nana has grandbabes who are 8 mo, 11 mo, 3 1/2, another 3 1/2 (one month apart), and 6 yrs old being home-schooled for kindergarten. Yep, we’re busy especially during the coronavirus isolation protocols. Two sons and their wives are ok with me just being around their two families. Anyway, here’s something that used to keep my 3 kids entertained for hours 30 yrs ago. They each got a ball of crochet yarn, tied one end to a doorknob at different places throughout the house, then walked around and wrapped there yarn ALL OVER the entire house looping around doorknobs in every room, table legs, bedposts, shower curtain bar, etc….not too tight as to pull things over and not too loose and drooping…so that for the day we all had to step over yarn or duck under yarn to get around. It was crazy fun! This didn’t happen too often, but on a weekend or icy snowy day it was perfect.

October 4, 2020 at 10:16 pm

I just came across your blog via Pinterest, but I’ve got to make a statement! Here is a wonderful list of day-to-day events for preschoolers, but my favourite part of the list is that it’s not “girls” or “people” events. It’s such a wonderful list of child fun events! Thank you so much for sharing it!

Andrea says

great help to get ideas for my college assignment. love the ideas all very fun.

Melissa Aldrich-Welch says

October 22, 2020 at 12:05 pm

use a cookie sheet with sides and allow child to play with Magic Sand using different objects like toy cars, plastic animals, etc. My grandson likes to bury the cars and use the animals to rescue them. Provide a small plastic spoon and fork to “dig” with. Take turns hiding the objects in the sand and have the other try to find it. Magic Sand is great because it never dries out. You can even mix the colors to make new colors.

December 4, 2020 at 12:12 am

It’s an amazing 75 lists of activities. Would love to bookmark for the future. Ting!!!

February 13, 2021 at 8:49 pm

My grandson loves to cut up sheets of craft foam because it’s so satisfying to cut through the spongy-ness! Great scissor practice! He just cuts and cuts at this point and really isn’t interested in doing anything with the bits.

Forgot to say… my (Canadian) grandson also likes to pretend he’s a member of American “marching bands.” We use everyday objects to represent instruments and march around and around the house, in time to great American marches…. Stars and Stripes Forever on the computer is his favourite! A short curtain rod that he found in my sewing room has become a trombone, we use a chopstick for a piccolo, two pot lids for cymbols. You get the picture! Lots of fun for Nana and Papa too!

15 Best Learning Activities for Your 3 Year Old Preschooler

5 Fun Developmental Activities for 3-Year-Olds

5 indoor activities for 3-year-olds, 5 engaging art activities for 3-year-olds, how educational activities transform kids’ lives.

Toddlers are very active and always on the go! As a parent, it can be tough to keep up with their energy levels. However, it’s important to find ways to keep your toddler occupied and engaged and learning!

Here are 15 activities for 3-year-olds that are both fun and educational:

1. Recognizing Letters and Sounds

Learning activities for 3-year-olds are most fun when they are dressed up as family games, pretend plays, or become parts of our daily activities and observations. Recognizing letters and their sounds is one such activity that can be done in several ways.

Things you need:

A whiteboard or chalkboard, some colored markers or chalk. You can also use letter cards, board games, or online games for kids .

How to play:

You can play games where you write a letter on the board and teach your child to read it. Preschoolers can start learning both uppercase and lowercase letters . If they get it right, give them a point. If not, give them a clue and let them try again.

You can also play the “sound it out” game. Write a letter on the board and ask your child to make the sound it makes. Again, if they get it right, give them a point. If not, give them a clue and let them try again.

Pointing to letters written somewhere as you go about your day—a cereal box, a signboard, a magazine, etc.—is also an easy activity to help your child learn to read them. Children can also trace letters with their fingers on the sand, match uppercase and lowercase letters, erase letters on a chalkboard, etc. 

If you are busy, play some alphabet songs for your toddler to dance or let them play some online English games .

Skills your preschooler will learn:

Letter recognition, phonemic awareness, letter sounds

SplashLearn: Most Comprehensive Learning Program for PreK-5

SplashLearn inspires lifelong curiosity with its game-based PreK-5 learning program loved by over 40 million children. With over 4,000 fun games and activities, it’s the perfect balance of learning and play for your little one.

2. Reading with Your Child

Reading books with your child is one of the best things you can do for their development. Not only does it improve language skills, but it also helps them learn sight words, develop their imagination, and understand the world around them.

Books that are appropriate for your child’s age and interests, such as picture books, easy readers, etc.

Sit down with your child and read a book together. You can take turns reading the pages or have your child read the whole book to you.

Books for toddlers should be short and have many pictures supporting the story. This will help keep their attention span, and they will be more likely to understand the concepts in the book.

Read word by word, pointing to each word with your finger, and ask inferential questions based on how, why, what, when, and where to encourage the thinking skills in kids .

Language skills, sight words , attention span, comprehension, memory, imagination

3. Making Up Stories

Children love to listen to and tell stories, and this is an activity that can be done anywhere, anytime. It’s the perfect thing to do in a car while traveling, at bedtime, or even while waiting in line at the grocery store.

None! Just your child’s imagination

Have your child make up a story, either on their own or with your help. Encourage them to use their imagination and be as creative as they want. If they get stuck, you can prompt them with questions or ideas. You may also correct their grammar along the way, but it’s important to let them be creative and have fun with this activity.

If your child is stumped, set an example by asking them for three or four words and make a story that uses all of them. For instance, if they give you the words “cat,” “green,” “ball,” and “tree,” you could make up a story about a green cat that climbs a tree to fetch a ball.

Eventually, you can give words to your child and have them make up a story using those words.

Creativity, imagination, storytelling, communication

4. Playing a Number Game

Offline and online, math can be fun for kids if it’s taught interactively and creatively. Playing the number sense games is one such activity that will help your child learn numbers, counting, and basic arithmetic operations in a fun and engaging way.

A whiteboard or a chalkboard, some colored markers or chalk. You can also use games focusing on numbers and counting, such as board games, card games, etc. Online math games are also available.

There are many games that you can play with your child to help him learn numbers and math concepts. One such game is the “guess the number” game. Write down a number between 1 and 10 on the board, and ask your child to guess it. If he gets it right, give him a point. If not, give him a clue and let him have another try.

You can also play the “greater than or less than” game. Write down two numbers on the board, such as 3 and 5, and ask your child which number is greater. If he gets it right, give him a point. If not, give him a clue and let him try again.

Numbers , counting , and basic arithmetic operations include addition , subtraction , multiplication , and division .

5. Sorting Activities

Sorting is a fun activity that helps children learn about different attributes such as size, shape, color, etc. It also helps them develop problem-solving skills.

Various objects can be sorted according to size, shape, color, etc. You can use blocks, balls, toy cars, berries, buttons, etc.

Let your child choose a few objects and ask him to sort them according to size, shape, color, etc. For example, they can sort blocks by size or toy cars by color. As they sort the objects, help them identify the attribute they use for sorting.

Sorting, categorizing, and problem-solving.

Check out the best sensory activities for 3-year-olds you can try!

One of the favorite preschool activities for 3-year-olds is drawing. At this point, the artistic skills of a child are not really important. Drawing is a fun activity for toddlers to express themselves, work on their fine motor skills, and have fun!

Paper, crayons, markers, colored pencils

Sit with your child and encourage them to draw whatever comes to mind. You can also give some drawing ideas to kids , such as “Draw a picture of your family,” “Draw a picture of your favorite animal,” etc. You may make a drawing and ask your child to trace it or copy it.

Creativity, fine motor skills, imagination, attention span

7. Building with Blocks

One of the easy, no-mess activities for 3-year-olds at home is to let them build with blocks. It is amazing how much fun and creative they can be with this simple activity.

Blocks are also a great way for children to learn about shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns.

Blocks of various shapes and sizes

Let your child play with the blocks freely or give him or her some challenges, such as “build a tower as tall as you can,” “make a house for your favorite stuffed toy,” etc.

Creativity, imagination, problem-solving, eye-hand coordination, shapes, colors, patterns

8. Paper Cutting with Safety Scissors

Children feel empowered with a tool in their hands. And they are so proud of themselves when they can cut the paper!

Paper, safety scissors, craft supplies like pom poms, googly eyes (optional)

Give your child a piece of paper and let him or her cut it any way they want. If you like, you can also give some challenges, such as “cut out a circle,” “make a snowflake,” etc. You can help your child decorate the cutouts with craft supplies if desired.

Fine motor skills, creativity, imagination, attention span

*Please note that only safety scissors should be used for this activity. Regular scissors are too sharp for little ones.*

9. Doing Daily Chores

You’ll be surprised at all the things your toddlers can do if only you let them try. Giving them some simple chores to do not only helps them learn some valuable life skills but also makes kids feel proud and accomplished.

Chores that are appropriate for your child’s age and abilities, such as making their bed, dusting furniture, setting the table, etc.

Choose a chore that you would like your child to help with. Then, show them how to do it and let them try it themselves. Some of the chores that a 3-year-old can do may require some assistance or supervision, but it’s important to let them explore their capabilities and try new things.

A toddler can easily be overwhelmed with too many chores, so it’s important to start small. Choose one or two simple tasks that you know your child can handle. As they get older and more capable, you can give them more chores to do. Remember to praise them for a job well done!

Daily living skills, responsibility, independence, pride, satisfaction

10. Role-playing

What’s funnier than seeing a tiny toddler acting like a fat aunt or an old grandpa? Role-plays are one of the best activities for 3-year-olds as they help them learn about different emotions, people, and situations.

None! Just your child’s imagination. A few props like a walking stick, a hat, a lady’s purse, or a wig could come in handy to help set the scene.

Have your child choose a character that he or she would like to play. It could be anyone—a family member, a friend, a cartoon character, an animal, etc. Then, encourage them to act out the part. They can speak differently, use props, and do whatever they want to bring the character to life. Children learn to observe people around them and understand their emotions in this way.

Creativity, imagination, emotional intelligence, communication, problem-solving

Check out the best outdoor activities for 3-year-olds here!

11. Playing Dress Up

Dress-up games are not gender-specific. Most children love them! This activity helps 3-year-olds use their imagination, learn about social norms and roles, and have lots of fun!

Old clothes, hats, scarves, jewelry, etc., can be used as dress-up items. You can also use old sheets or towels to make capes or skirts. You can also use actual costumes if you have them.

Let your child choose what they want to be, and then help them get dressed in the appropriate clothing. If you like, you can also act out a play or story together with your child in their new costume.

Creativity, imagination, role-playing, problem-solving

12. Making Music with Household Items

This is one of the fun activities for 3-year-olds that can be done with items that you already have around the house. It’s a great way to introduce your child to music and help them develop a sense of rhythm.

Household items that can be used as musical instruments, such as pots and pans, plastic containers, wooden spoons, etc. You can also use actual musical instruments if you have them.

Let your child choose what he or she wants to use as an instrument. Then, encourage them to make music with it however they want. You can also sing along or dance to the music!

Music skills, sense of rhythm, gross motor skills, creativity, imagination

13. Making Art with Thumb , Hand, or Foot Impressions

Most toddlers do not know how to go about making an art piece. But they love to play a role in helping make one! This activity allows them to do just that, resulting in a beautiful piece of art that you can hang on your fridge or wall.

Non-toxic paint, paper, and something to use as a stamp (such as potato, carrot, or eraser)

Let your child choose what paint color he or she wants to use. Then, help them make a thumbprint, handprint, or footprint on the paper. You can also make patterns with stamps by carving a shape into a potato, carrot, or eraser. Once the paint is dry, you can hang up the artwork!

Creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, color recognition

14. Creating a Collage

A collage is a great way for toddlers to express their creativity. They can make amazing birthday cards with photo collages, make wall-hanging art, or have fun tearing up paper and gluing it back together!

Paper, safety scissors, glue, and any other materials you want to use for the collage (such as tissue paper, construction paper, feathers, buttons, ribbons, etc.)

Let your child choose what they want to use for their collage. Then, help them cut out the paper or other materials into small pieces. Once they have a good pile of pieces, they can glue them down onto another piece of paper. You can help them with this if needed.

Creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, color recognition, pattern-making

15. Drawing with Chalk on the Sidewalk

If you live in a safe neighborhood, your children can display their artistic skills outside the home by drawing with chalk on the sidewalk or driveway. This activity is great for gross motor skills and allows you to teach your child about shapes, colors, and patterns.

Chalk in various colors

Let your child choose what color of chalk he or she wants to use. Then, help them draw a picture or make patterns on the sidewalk. You can also join in and create your own chalk masterpiece!

Educate children about different cultures where making art to decorate entrance gates and doorways is a tradition. Indians make rangoli, Chinese make a dragon or zodiac animal drawings, while in the Philippines, it is common to see people painting on bamboo mats called banig . In this way, you can introduce your toddlers to other cultures.

Creativity, imagination, gross motor skills, shapes, colors, pattern-making

A study on Chinese children found that organized extracurricular activities (EAs) are strongly associated with early reading, math, and social skills. Another study indicated that the involvement of parents in preschool children’s learning activities at home during the COVID-19 pandemic was beneficial to kids’ learning behavior and emotional health. 

These studies seem to suggest that any activity that encourages learning, socialization, and creativity would benefit our little ones and shape them into more confident, woke, and aware individuals. 

Some benefits of educational activities for 3-year-olds are:

• They help develop cognitive skills, including problem-solving, memory, and attention span.
• EAs also nurture social skills such as cooperation, empathy, and communication.
• These activities can also boost self-esteem and confidence in children.
• Fun and educational activities are also great for developing gross and fine motor skills.

So go ahead and try out some educational activities with your 3-year-old today! You might just be surprised at how much they enjoy it—and how much they learn from it too.

41 Fun Learning Activities for 3-Year-Olds

Home » Activities » 41 Fun Learning Activities for 3-Year-Olds

Three-year-olds are like sponges and constantly looking for something to get their hands on! If you’re a parent or caretaker, these learning activities for 3 year olds will keep them busy.

Even better, these fun activity ideas are all constructive and beneficial educational tools to help young children continue to grow.

All of these fun ideas are accessible enough for little hands, or there are sufficient easy modifications to supplement yourself to help anyone complete the fun activities.

Let me know if you try any of these educational activities or what your favorite of these engaging activities is down below!

1. Pom Pom Water Sensory Bin

First on this list of activities is a great sensory and fine motor activity that’s rolled into one, and the best part is that it’s reusable!

The best way to do this great activity is to make sure to dry your pom poms between uses by squeezing out excess water and letting them dry on a towel.

Fill a big enough container with water, add the poms, get some of these scoops or grabbers and have a ball!

This is one of the best hands-on kindergarten activities .

2. Brushing Teeth and Reward Chart

Kids so easily rebel at any age that sometimes it takes effort to ensure they understand just how vital some concepts are.

A great way to help form habits and important skills is to start with a daily activity like brushing teeth and introducing a reward chart.

Charts like this are a fun way to showcase how to build a habit that benefits you in the long run, but up front, there’s a small reward to incentivize the follow-through making it so much fun.

3. Balloon Rocket Science

Kids love science experiments–especially the ones where they can see the effect! You’ll need string, a straw, a balloon, and tape.

Secure the string across the room from you and back up, thread the straw onto the line, and add a piece of tape or two, but leave the tails unattached.

Blow up the balloon as much as you’d like–don’t tie it, just pinch the rear as you go, then place it under the straw and tape the tape to the balloon’s body.

Once prepared, let go of the tail and let the balloon fly across the room via the string-straw line!

4. Pattern Sticks

A pattern stick is great fun and only involves pom poms, a few markers of corresponding colors, and popsicle sticks! Color any sensical pattern on each popsicle stick, followed by three black circles.

The circles are intended for the continuation of colors by pom poms. If you need anything for the activity, I love these popsicle sticks , mini daubers –in place of markers, and course, poms !

5. Phonics Activities

At this time in a little one’s life, it’s excellent to start regularly practicing phonetic activities! This interactive game will really help their oral language development.

Don’t worry about where your child is either; everyone learns at a different pace, and this post is a great starting point for anyone.

Regular practice of these different activities really helps too!

6. DIY Stethoscope

I’m a big believer in teaching children about the real world in small moments, and this stethoscope is no different. It’s a natural way to teach about the body while having fun doing it!

Grab two smaller funnels– these work great, a paper towel roll, tape, and decorate–if you’d like! Tape one funnel on either side, and you’re ready to roll!

7. Printable Letter Crafts

A really fantastic way to teach all things alphabet and endless examples on the internet to buy, download, or inspire!

Do this as everyday activities, or whatever works for your schedule, and talk about the corresponding image that matches each letter.

8. Letter Colouring Pages

These would be great to work in conjunction with the printable letter crafts! You’ll need some bingo daubers to get the job done.

There are so many pages out there for an activity like this! This website has some fun and seasonal pages.

9. Printable ABC Worksheets

These ABC worksheets are a variation of the previous letter sheets, where you can practice hand-eye coordination, cognitive skills, gross motor skills and writing letters. 

Enjoy more ways to keep kids busy and learning with these large group activities for preschoolers !

10. Alphabet Letter Banner

If the crafty alphabet project isn’t your speed, again, there are many options for material for alphabet work. Check out sites like Etsy, Teachers-Pay-Teachers, or even Amazon for materials like this.

Everyone should be able to find something that works for their budget!

11. Oobleck Slime

Your first question may be, “What’s Oobleck Slime?” And it’s nothing scary or pricy; it’s just a Dr. Seuss reference from one of his stories and a great indoor activity for sensory play.

It’s one of the most straightforward slimes–the only ingredients needed are cornstarch and water.

Play around with the amounts, but add the water into the cornstarch slowly; we’re looking for something like a gak consistency.

If you’d prefer a colorful slime–add this food color ! Your kids will love trying new things with this sensory activity in many different colours.

Check out these other fun weekend children activities .

12. Popcorn Counting

This counting idea is an exciting activity for any kiddo that loves popcorn for a snack! This popcorn counting page is very easy to aid in counting numbers.

Don’t worry if you’re not a popcorn house; with a bit of googling, I’m positive there’s a counting snack page for most snacks.

13. Alphabet Scavenger Hunt

A favorite rainy day activity or an excellent impromptu game to play while out and help little ones stay occupied if they start to get bored.

Downloadable on the web or create one yourself; they can be as easy or complex as you need.

Making a blank document so they can find their own answers to fill in and one with household items they have to search for is a fantastic way to keep this hunt exciting!

You could even laminate the fill-in one, so you save paper! This is a good way to still have physical activities on a rainy day!

14. Rainbow Ten Frame Matching

Ten frame matching games are life-changing!

This rainbow one gets very loved in our house, but again, there are so many ones out there, find one with a favorite character, a season, or anything that will help entice your little one to stay engaged.

15. Flashcards in Spanish

Experts say that younger brains are able to learn multiple languages easier than adult brains.

Kid brains are growing and absorbing anything around them while adult brains have developed to completion, and a little harder for us to pick up a new skill.

So, whatever language you speak–try a new one out with your child, even if it’s just the alphabet.

We decided to pick Spanish and wrote the alphabet out on note cards–one letter to one card–and the phonetic sound on the backside. Have them practice as much as they’d like!

16. ABC Dot Marker Printable

These free ABC dot marker sheets are fantastic for practicing more fine motor and hand-eye coordination! You’ll need bingo daubers, pom poms, or another item to fill in the circles in each letter.

17. ABC Spanish Bingo

We’ve paired this ABC Spanish Bingo sheet with our practicing of Spanish! It’s all letter based, easy to read, and has become a staple!

Take a look for any alphabet bingos online, or make your own! Grab a ruler to make those lines are straight.

18. Interactive Alphabet Book

A project, but completely worth it– this interactive alphabet book ! The book is a great conversational tool to practice phonetics, order, and so much more.

If you’re not in for the craft, check your local library or bookstore, they’ll have great recommendations for you.

19. Colour Mixing Activity

Paints will work best for this experience– these are great and washable . A great trick for our messier pals is to add different colors into small zip locks so they can still see the effects but not have a major cleanup.

Grab or make a worksheet with the idea that (color one)+(color two)=(new color/color three).

20. Construction Sensory Bin

A sensory bin has proved to be a beneficial learning tool for children mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Pair a container with a book with different tactile accessories to be able to ask a child questions while reading together.

Recently one of my friends did a construction-themed one for her little one, and it was such a hit as they read a book about construction.

21. Alphabet Flash Cards

Like the Spanish cards, English flashcards are a stellar way to practice any letter-related concept. Make your own, or grab these super cute affordable ones !

22. Ice Cream Summer Craft

Counting activities are fun year-round! This ice cream template is a great one to break out and maybe pair it with a scoop of ice cream post-exercise; we’ve done it, and they loved it.

Each sheet has a certain amount of colored dots on the side. The child’s job is to count the dots and add the corresponding amount of scoops, and bonus, if they get the pattern right too!

23. Catching Bubbles Motor Activity

Bubbles are endless entertainment, frankly, for almost anyone at any age! A cool way to use bubbles to teach how to control our fine motor skills is by catching a bubble without it popping.

Whether it reaches the palm of their hand or re-attaches to the bubble wand, showing children how to be gentle through bubbles is fun. This is one of the best outdoor activities.

Keep enjoying the outdoors with these free outdoor activities for kids !

24. ABC Magnets

The fridge can be a great place to work on easy concepts like communication skills, and memory skills like matching and letter recognition.

You’ll need a set of alphabet magnets like these for these simple activities, a sheet of paper to trace them, and either tape or magnets with a sticky backing.

Trace the alphabet letters on your piece of paper with a marker and cut them out. Put them onto the fridge with either the magnets or tape, and then let your little one practice matching!

25. Baking Soda and Vinegar Process Art

As a mixture of an art project and a science experiment, these hands-on activities are more for exploration than anything else.

You will definitely need baking soda and vinegar, but you’ll also want to do this in a cleanable area with cleanable accessories.

Add food coloring to the vinegar and let your kids drip, pour, spray, etc., to the baking soda. Use any household items like straws, extra eye droppers, etc.

26. Numbers Playdough Mats

You can make your own placemats with someone practicing numbers, or grab these free mats and print em! Have your child practice the number on the mat by making a Play-Doh version by hand.

27. Stacking Cups Stem Challenge

One of the easiest Stem activities out there for youngsters is building a tower for a small toy to stand at the top. Plastic cups, thick popsicle sticks, or long strips of cardboard–whatever you have on hand.

The goal is to build the highest they can go without tipping the structure over and to place the toy on top.

28. Rainbow Cookies

Rainbow cookies are a sweet way to showcase intentional organization and practice order of operations.

There are many recipes out there with all dietary needs met; Google what you may need, and feel free to share pictures if you try this one out!

29. Don’t Break The Ice Alphabet Game

For this activity, you will need this game –which is a great time, I promise! Label all the cubes with a different letter of the alphabet and some alphabet flashcards.

Let the games begin!

30. Geo Board

If you’re unfamiliar with a geoboard, they look like a peg board with raised hooks to attach rubber bands to. It’s a practice in fine motor and picture matching if they work from a flash card.

They work wonders for dexterity too. If you’re looking for one, this one is great to start practicing.

31. Lion’s Mane Cutting Activity

Cutting exercises are a staple in early childhood education.

There are downloads available online, but a pretty simple way to accomplish this activity is to grab a paper plate, a sheet of yellow or orange construction paper, glue, and some coloring utensils.

Draw lines across the paper for your kid to cut on the line, and adjust the size as needed.

After, have them glue the strips to the backside of the plate going around the circle and then help them draw their lion face or let them color their own lion face.

32. Letter C Craft

Talk to your little one about what starts with the letter “C” for the letter C craft. Once they’ve shared the word, draw the picture together (or print it out) and glue it onto a big bubble letter C.

You could do this for any letter, or you could make this into a name activity.

33. Colour Sorting Eggs

This sorting activity is egg-cellent for fine motor and, of course, matching for any student! You’ll need pom poms, corresponding colors in felt or paper, and some grabbers.

Have them pick up a pom, sort it into the corresponding color area, and continue until finished.

34. Feed the Shark Ocean-Themed Learning

This shark printable is excellent if you want a more advanced sorting option! There’s a smaller opening in the mouth that the sorter has to be a little more intentional about placement.

The shark option does require some assembly, but making the acceptable motor activity a little more complex as the user gets better can only help as the kiddo learns!

35. Lego Dumping Sorting

I’m not sure how anyone else feels, but I feel like little kids love dumping anything onto the ground, and if you can’t beat ‘em, why not join ‘em?

If you have a dump truck toy, great; a big enough bowl to pretend that it’s a dump truck is also great–whatever works for you all.

Grab a handful or two of Legos and put them in your container, bring them to the child and do the whole bit–make the beeping noise, dump the entire thing dramatically, and have them get to work.

Have them sort them into bins or just group them in color piles, if the sorter needs it, corresponding colored bins or signifiers to place colors in specific spots.

This sorting activity can be as structured as it needs to be for your learner.

36. Ice Cube Colour Mixing

Another exciting and hands-on experiment that takes a bit of time to complete is ice cube colour mixing.

You’ll add water to an ice cube tray and drip a few drops of different dyes into each square, make sure to mix well.

Once the squares have frozen, add contrasting colors to separate glasses–two different colors each. Have your kids record the colors in each cup and their guesses for when the two colors melt together.

37. Math Bites

Snack time, as mentioned above, is an excellent time for teachable skills; math is the most common one to try out.

Grab some math mats online or make your own and try some simple equations the next time you break out the snack foods!

38. Squishy Colour Sorting Sensory Bag

Sensory time is so absolutely important in a young child’s life. Their brain starts to observe and collect knowledge in any way possible.

Sensory activities help refine all the senses in different but essential ways to support reasoning, problem-solving and more. A bag form is mess-free and can be taken on the go too!

Color polka dots on a paper sheet and slide them into a ziplock along with buttons and hair gel. Tape the whole thing shut and let your little one match at home or anywhere else!

39. Oil and Water

Another cool experiment that the kids will love! We’ll need disposable clear cups, oil, water, and food dye.

Fill an ice cube tray with water, add food coloring to each square, and stick it in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Once frozen, have them add two colors to each cup and let them record or take guesses of what the combinations will become.

A great way to record data is to leave sticky notes in front of each cup. Write down the original color combinations and the guess of the final color below!

The purpose of the exercise is to evoke critical thinking and questions. Cater this experiment however you see fit for your children!

40.  Umbrella Counting and Colour Sort

There is a little assembly required here, but the results are super adorable! You’ll need a few different colors of construction paper, pipe cleaners, scissors, and glue.

First, we’ll cut the umbrella shapes out. Feel free to print something out and trace it; I did a rough free hand on cardstock and used it as my stencil.

After you get all the umbrella tops traced and cut out, you can write, use stickers, or any other method to put numbers onto the paper.

Then, we’ll want to attach the pipe cleaners to the umbrella backs–tape may work better here. Finally, cut out the coordinating amount of colored shapes to each umbrella and its number.

41. Salt Writing Tray

As simple as it sounds, grab a tray and some salt (or any other bulk material you’re good with using). Pour the salt into the tray and use flashcards to practice writing letters.

This idea is a very lowkey but exciting way to practice and includes some bonus sensory to boot!

35+ Activities for 3 Year Olds From Finger Paints to Fairy Tales

As a mother, I understand the importance of activities to keep our little ones engaged and aid their overall development. 

Now that your toddler is in the 3-year-old stage, this is an exciting age ☺️ where they are in the mood to explore, are energetic, more curious by nature, and are like sponges, open to learning new things. 

Interesting Activities for Your 3-Year-Olds

I know the struggle of keeping young kids entertained and engaged, especially if you have a 3-year-old who is always on their feet, so if you are looking for innovative ways to keep them occupied while also helping them learn new things, your search ends here!

You can include engaging activities – both fun and educational that require them to focus and help improve their skills on all fronts.

In this blog post, I have compiled a list of fun and hands-on activities you can do with your three-year-olds. ❤️

Draw in a Sketchbook

I recommend you give your kid a blank sketchbook and a pencil and allow them to express their creativity and use their imagination to draw ✍🏼 anything they feel like and fill the blank pages with their unique art, even if they are scribblings.

I sometimes gave my son a reference picture of shapes or simple images to try and recreate.

Fill Coloring Pages

Coloring is an activity that my son has always loved since a young age.

I suggest you print outlines for your kid to color 🖍️ with crayons. Initially, they may not color within the lines, which is okay!

Research recommends coloring activities to help your toddler relax and feel a sense of calm, improve muscle strength, and aid hand-eye coordination .

Try Vegetable Stamping

You can use vegetables like potatoes, okras, carrots, bell peppers, onions, and cucumbers as the stamps. Now, for the fun part, let your little one dip the vegetables 🫑 🥔 in paint and stamp them on paper or fabric, forming beautiful art pieces. 

My son enjoyed this art activity, and we did vegetable stamping on t-shirts and tea towels and made greeting cards and art prints.

You can use the vegetables as they are for natural patterns or use a knife to carve designs on the vegetables to create your own.

Read Books Together

“Books 📖 are a uniquely portable magic.” – Stephen King

I recommend introducing kids to reading books, or in this case, even looking through the pictures, from a young age. You can find a comfortable spot at home, curl up with a storybook, and read with your toddler. 

My son, I found, loved story books with lots of pictures and colorful illustrations, making reading time more exciting.

Spend Time Outdoors

I will never stop recommending this to parents to spend time in the great outdoors 🌳 with their toddlers. 

According to research, being outdoors, even for a few minutes, can benefit our kids and their minds, bodies, and moods.

You can spend some time outdoors with your toddler, either strolling or spreading a blanket under the shade of a tree to read books and play with their toys while breathing the fresh air.

My memory takes me back to the times my son and I spent in our garden having picnics, playing with bubbles, and having the time of our lives, which we still do, along with my toddler daughter.

Have a Dance Party

“Dancing is the poetry of the foot.” – John Dryden.

I recommend you play music in the background, get your toddler on their feet, and enjoy a dance 💃🏽 🕺🏾 party together in your living room. This way, your toddler can explore body movements while also having lots of fun.

Sort Objects

I recommend making your toddler sort ✅ objects depending on their colors, shapes, sizes, or other details. You can give them a variety of everyday objects to sort, like toys, buttons, beads, hair clips, Lego blocks, clothes, books, and so on, for them to categorize. 

I would give my son a type of object and specify the category to sort them into – color, shape, or size. For example – sort buttons by colors, Lego blocks by sizes, or hair clips by shapes, to name a few.

Imitate Animal Movements

My son enjoyed doing this activity, which is fun and engaging, and I guarantee your kids will enjoy doing it, too.

You can specify the movements of animals 🦁 🐮 for your toddler to imitate. Get them to waddle like a duck, walk like a penguin, hop like a bunny, jump like a kangaroo, and so on.

I played videos of various animal movements for my son to imitate by looking at them.

Practice Pre-Writing with Shaving Cream

Before your little one begins forming letters, you can get them to practice pre-writing exercises to help their fingers get used to lines and strokes.

I recommend covering a tray with a thin layer of shaving cream. You can provide a reference sheet with lines and strokes for your toddler to practice on the shaving cream 🧴 as a hands-on and fun pre-writing exercise.

One of the reasons my son loved doing this was he could play with the shaving cream foam textures, which are a great sensory medium. 

Build a Fort

My son loved building forts, his secret spot as he called it, in the living room when he was young – ah, it brings back so many memories!

You can help your toddler build a simple fort 🏰 with bedsheets thrown over the couches or chairs. Make it cozy for them with a blanket and a few comfy pillows, and do not forget to stock on the yummy snacks, books, and their favorite toys!

Play with Playdough

I recommend you let your little one engage with playdough, where they can flatten, pinch, and shape the clay as they wish to create shapes and forms. You can add play toys and tools like cookie cutters and tiny rolling pins for them to use.

As your toddler plays with the playdough, it can help them develop their hand muscles and fine motor skills while enjoying a sensory experience with the textures of the playdough.

I made homemade salt-free playdough for my son to play with, and you can try it, too.

Clean Play Toys

If your toddler loves water, I recommend this simple activity, perfect for letting them play with water while also learning to clean their toys. 

You can fill two containers with water and add a few drops of soap to one to create bubbles and foam. Make your toddler gather their washable toys, 🧸 clean them in soapy water, and then rinse them with plain water.

My son had such a good time playing with water and his beloved toys.

Bake Desserts Together

Don’t we all love eating desserts? – cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and the list of delicious and mouth-watering delicacies goes on and on. 

I recommend you involve your toddler in a baking session 👩🏽‍🍳 to make a dessert 🧁 🍰 of their choice – cakes, cupcakes, cookies, donuts, or whatever they love. You can assign tasks where they can add the measured ingredients to the bowl, decorate the finished treats with sprinkles, or watch you bake from the sidelines. 

My kids enjoy spending time with me in the kitchen as I cook and bake, helping me when possible.

Do Simple Daily Chores 

I suggest you make your toddler lend a hand and do simple daily chores 🧺 around the house for them to learn valuable skills, become responsible, and share the work. 

You can get them to do basic age-appropriate chores like picking up and putting away their toys, helping you set and clear the table, folding laundry, watering plants, and any other task you think your little one is capable of, and assign 2-3 tasks daily to complete as I did with my son.

Stack Building Block Towers

You can make your kids stack Lego building blocks to make a tower🗼 as high as they can build them. I guarantee your toddler will have fun doing so. 

As they get used to stacking the Lego blocks, you can increase the difficulty level with a timer. 

Go on a Walk

I recommend you spend time outdoors by taking your toddler on a daily walk🚶🏽‍♀️in your garden or nearby park to get their daily exercise in and let their curious minds explore and observe things around them.

You can incorporate activities on your walks by pointing out things and making your toddler name them to expand their vocabulary, count objects, or spot colors – the possibilities are endless and can be tweaked to your liking.

Play with a Sensory Bin 

I recommend you create a sensory bin 📤 for your toddler to engage in sensory play with different textures to nurture their senses and experience a sense of calm.

To make a sensory play bin, choose a plastic bin and add a base sensory material, with toys and objects, for your toddler to play with. You can add base sensory materials like sand, salt, rice, water, soap foam, shaving cream, or water beads.

You can customize various kinds of sensory bins for your little one by following themes and switching up the components.

Create Music with Objects

My friend tried this activity with her three-year-old daughter, who thoroughly enjoyed it.

You can select everyday use objects around the house, like plastic containers, pots, pans, wooden spoons, muffin tins, cereal boxes, and so on, to use as musical 🎵 instruments.

Let your toddler try different sounds with the household objects to make music, and encourage them to observe the rhythms made by them.

Form Patterns with Stickers

I still remember how excited my son used to get to put stickers on every possible surface!

You can give your toddler sticker sheets of different kinds and allow them to peel and stick them in sheets of paper or notebooks and let them form patterns or sequences. 

Your kids will have fun doing so and can develop their pincer grip as they peel and stick the stickers.

Catch Pipe Cleaner Fish

I must say that this simple and engaging activity was a favorite for my son, and he spent many Sundays going fishing at home.

You can shape pipe cleaners into fish 🐠 shapes and put them in a tray filled with water for the pond. Now, give your little one a pair of tongs and let them pick the pipe cleaner fish from the water – happy fishing!

This makes for a fun fishing game to keep them entertained while improving their pincer grip, muscle strength, and hand-eye coordination as they pick the fish with the tongs.

I sometimes did a variety of activities with my son using this fishing game – like counting the fish as he took them out or sorting them by colors to help them learn. 

Blow and Pop Bubbles

Who doesn’t love bubbles? 🫧 Kids and adults alike are very fond of bubbles, and my toddler daughter is equally fascinated by them.

You can make your toddler blow the bubbles and then pop them into thin air to keep them entertained, and it was a delight to watch my son play around with the bubbles in our garden.

I noted that child experts recommend blowing bubbles to help our toddlers develop their oral motor skills and fine motor skills.

Role Play Characters

I recommend role-playing 🎭 with your toddler as a fun and exciting activity. It will also encourage them to observe the people and the things around them more and understand different emotions.

You can choose a character for your toddler to act like and bring to life, and provide them with props if possible. The characters list could include family members, friends, acquaintances, cartoon or movie characters, animals, or a character created from their imagination.

Learn to Count Numbers

I recommend introducing your kid to counting numbers 🔢 with hands-on activities to help them learn and remember the order of the numbers.

You can get your little one to count in order using counting songs and rhymes that have catchy rhythms, like One Two, Buckle My Shoe! You can also let them use their fingers to count down the numbers one by one. 

Count Numbers with Caterpillar Formations

I found this exciting way to help your toddler learn and recreate the sequence of numbers in order as a hands-on counting activity. 

You can draw a caterpillar 🐛 with circles as its body, which are numbered from 1 to 10. Cut tiny paper circles and make dots with markers representing each of the numbers. 

You can get your kid to find the matching dotted paper circles to place on the drawing of the body in the order of the number sequence to complete the caterpillar.

Trace the Letters of the Alphabet 

Your toddler will probably be able to write the letters 🔠 in a few years, but you can still introduce them to the concept of the alphabet, where they think of the letters as lines and trace them.

You can make individual reference letter mats with each letter written in large sizes and laminate them. Let your toddler trace the letters by molding and shaping playdough to place on the laminated cards to get familiar with the letters of the alphabet. 

You can do the same activity with pipe cleaners and fingerprints to trace along the alphabet cards for them to get introduced to the letters, which they will learn to write later. 

Connect the Dots for Name Writing

I recommend teaching your toddler to learn and write their name, starting with simple exercises using hands-on activities. 

You can write and spell out your toddler’s name with numbered dotted outlines and give your little one a crayon to connect the dots ⚫️ to complete their name. 

My son found this activity helped him learn to form his name in a fun way.

Play with Cooked Spaghetti 

I must tell you that although this activity sounds different, your toddler will enjoy this messy and fun sensory play activity for them.

You can cook a packet of spaghetti 🍝 until soft, transfer it to a colander, and run it under cold water. Put the cooked spaghetti in a bowl for your toddler to explore and play around with the spaghetti strands. You can add various food coloring to make rainbow-colored spaghetti if you want.

Sometimes, when a packet of spaghetti goes over its shelf life, instead of throwing it away, you can do this activity.

Pop Bubble Wraps

Ah, the joys of popping bubble 🫧 wraps! I can guarantee that kids and adults equally love this addictive activity and cannot resist popping the bubbles when they find a bubble wrap.

Save the bubble wrap sheet from your next order package and let your little one pop all the visible bubbles on the sheet to keep their little hands busy and calm them.

I recommend popping bubble wraps when you want your little one to be entertained and occupied with the task. It helps that this activity also helps develop their fine motor skills and is extremely satisfying to do.

Engage in Pretend Play

I found that pretend play 💭 helped my son nurture his creativity and develop his imagination by creating imaginary worlds with familiar scenarios and taking up different roles.

Let your toddler play pretend with their toys, objects, and props to perform familiar actions, situations, and roles they see around them. 

Some examples include – tea parties, cooking, baking, shopping, being a doctor, teacher, or superhero, bakery, and pizza shop, to name a few.

You can find more inspiration for a vast list of pretend play activity ideas for your little one by doing a quick Google search. 

Paint with Pom Poms

You can give your toddler pom pom and a tiny pair of play tongs to dip the pom pom balls in paint 🎨 and make designs on paper with the pom pom impressions.  

I recommend this simple art activity to help your toddler be creative and develop their pincer grip and hand-eye coordination. 

My son’s favorite design was to make caterpillars – I made a heart to start off the head, and he would place dots in a straight line to complete the caterpillar.

Make Art with Handprints and Thumbprint Impressions

My son enjoyed making art 🖼️ with impressions that we later framed to hang in our living room. 

You can involve your toddler in an art activity using their handprints and thumb impressions to create various designs. You can dip your toddler’s hand and thumb in non-toxic paint, make a few impressions on paper, and use a marker to add details to the paint impressions to create art.

Although things might get messy, you will have wonderful art pieces that you will cherish down the line. 

Play a Game of Simon Says

You can get your toddler to play the classic game of Simon Says, where your little one has to follow the leader’s command 🗣️ that begins with the phrase, Simon Says, and perform the actions, like jumping around, sitting down, dancing, clapping hands, etc.

I guarantee your toddler will love playing Simon Says, like my son did.

Put Together a Puzzle

You can guide your toddler and help them put together puzzles 🧩 of different pictures for an engaging pastime. 

I recommend starting with puzzles with fewer pieces and then moving to ones with more puzzle pieces, depending on their ability.

I introduced my son to puzzles with 3-4 pieces to get him used to completing puzzles.

Look Through Family Photos

I recommend you bring out your photo albums and spend an afternoon with your toddler going through the family photographs 📷 together for your kids to visually look at different faces and backgrounds.

Form Shapes with Ice Cream Sticks

You can teach your kids to form the basic shapes – square, rectangle, and triangle with ice cream 🍦 sticks lying at home like I did with my son.

You can make reference cards by drawing the shapes with the sides in different colors. Then, let your toddler paint the ice cream sticks with the colors used in the reference card shapes and let them dry. 

Let your toddler recreate the shapes by following the reference cards using the colored ice cream sticks to match the colors of the drawn shapes.

After they have recreated the ice cream stick shapes, you can make them try and draw the different shapes on paper for practice.

Mold and Shape Pipe Cleaners

My son enjoyed working with pipe cleaners to mold them into different shapes, almost the same way he would with playdough.

You can give your little one pipe cleaners of different colors and allow them to play around with and shape them according to their creativity. 

You can use this activity to help them form the outlines of various basic geometric shapes.

Draw with Chalk

Apart from drawing with pencils and crayons, I would say get your toddler to draw with chalk of different colors for a fun activity that your little one will enjoy.

You can make your toddler draw shapes and patterns on a chalkboard, black-colored paper, or on the sidewalk road with colored chalks. To make it more fun, I suggest you make them dip the ends of the chalk in water for your toddler to draw with for a different kind of texture. 

I drew race tracks on our sidewalk for my son to race his toy cars on the chalk tracks, and he loved doing it with his friends. 

Go on an Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

I did this activity with my son to explore and spend more time in nature.

You can make your toddler go on a scavenger hunt 🔎 in your garden, backyard, or a park nearby, where you specify something to spot, like an ant or butterfly, or something to bring, like a flower, a leaf, or a stick from nature around them.

They will learn to observe their surroundings and also encourage them to explore.

Play Hide and Seek

Play the classic game of hide and seek, loved by kids and adults alike, to keep your little one engaged and entertained. 

I suggest you play hide and seek with people and objects to find 👀 in hidden places around the house – a game that will delight your toddler.

I would sometimes hide objects and give him clues he could follow to find them, almost like a treasure hunt.

Transfer and Pour Water

Things might get messy with water 💧 going everywhere while doing this activity – I can guarantee your toddler will have a lot of fun and develop their ability to concentrate.

Make your toddler scoop water from a bucket with a mug and transfer and pour it into other bowls without spilling too much outside the bowl. You can teach them to focus and concentrate as they pour the water into the bowls.

Conclusion 

I remember when my son enjoyed these activities a few years ago as a tiny and curious three-year-old boy. I cannot wait for my daughter, who is barely two, to engage in these activities soon.

I hope you enjoyed reading the above list of activities and found a few activities to do with your 3-year-old.

Please comment below if you have anything more to add to the list or any doubts that you have – I would love to hear your feedback! 😁

20 Fun Activities for 3-Year-Olds

As someone who has always been passionate about teaching, I pursued a degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education and became a certified teacher. Over six years, I had the privilege of teaching third grade and kindergarten in public schools, and it was during this time that my love for teaching grew even stronger.

Although I left the classroom to focus on being a mom to my first child, my desire to make a difference in young children's lives never faded. In fact, it led me to start a preschool out of my own home, where I've spent the last four years creating my own curriculum .

What drives me in my work is the belief that all parents should have the tools and resources to engage with their children and foster a love for learning. I absolutely love making it easy for parents to create an environment of learning in their home, and help set their little ones on a path to academic success.

Don't worry! Activities for toddlers is my whole business. I create plans that are fun and easy for parents and that kids love! There are many fun and educational activities to keep a 3-year-old engaged for hours. First of all, you could absolutely hit the easy button and order our activity boxes !
