We continue with our Christmas gift recommendations for the smallest of the house. It's the turn now of 3 year olds.
At this age the toys preferred by the little ones are those that help them in their representation games such as kitchens, costumes, etc. The symbolic game, in which you imagine real-life situations, is the game par excellence at this stage of the child.
They also like construction games, manipulating dolls and plastic activities, as well as tricycles and bicycles that stimulate the practice of physical exercise. All these activities contribute to the integral development of the child from the motor, psychological and emotional point of view.
Next, we teach some guiding ideas about the kind of gifts you can give to 3 year olds.
Balance Bike Pedalless Bike
Pedalless bikes are ideal for the transition between the tricycle, the runner or the bike to the bike with pedals. They teach the child to have better balance control and to acquire greater self-confidence on two wheels. Prince Lionheart Balance Bike It has a light frame of birch wood making the total weight of the bike less than 4.5 kg. The saddle is adjustable in height and what I liked most is that the wheels are wider than normal rubber.
The price of the bike without pedals is 99.95 euros and can be purchased at Mundobebes.net.
Cook Step2
If you have space at home, a kitchenette is an ideal gift for 3 year olds. We can find them more or less complete with very varied prices. As an example, I teach you Step2's kitchenette, which looks very good. It is a compact kitchen on a true scale. The oven, microwave and refrigerator are made of "stainless steel" and also incorporates real sounds when opening tap water, using the fryer or boiling a pot.
It contains 17 accessories, it works with batteries and its price is 137 euros plus VAT in Eurekakids.
Shape and color board
Among my recommendations could not miss a wooden parts set. For children of this age, games with which they can recognize colors and geometric shapes are perfect. This board consists of a wooden base in which 16 pieces of four different shapes, sizes and colors can be inserted. Without realizing it, they will be learning basic notions of mathematics such as counting and ordering in addition to developing motor skills.
It is from Kinuma and is worth 15.45 euros.
Imaginarium blackboard
Children love to paint and color and the good thing about blackboards is that they can do it standing up. With the Imaginarium Eg Bureau Magnetic Fun slate They can also play two children at the same time because it has two faces, one to paint with chalk and the other to paint with markers and magnetic to stick magnets. Includes 12 colored chalks, 2 erasable markers, 1 eraser, letters, numbers and magnetic signs. An advantage to keep everything loose is that it has 4 large trays to store everything.
It costs 59.90 euros in the Imaginarium stores.

Construction and assembly games favor the development of intuition, organization and creativity. This block game that contains 49 pieces of wood It is a different version of the typical blocks because it allows to build from a house to a small city.

You can choose any other instrument, but this small battery of Plan Toys In addition to having a beautiful design, it will help you develop eye-hand coordination and release stress.
Its price is 47 euros in Magic Lantern.

Those who love wooden toys, like me, will love this puzzle that is a pass. PlayShapes consists of 74 wooden geometric figures that can be used to build endless 3D creations. Designed by Miller Goodman it is handmade in rubber wood and its pieces can also be used as drawing templates.

He pajamas-costume It comes in a beautiful box as a book that also contains a DVD with songs, games and a story.

Plasticine with breakfast accessories
At the age of three children can already understand that the clay is not for eating, but for playing. The molding pastes stimulate the creativity of the little ones while favoring the development of fine motor skills. He Play Doh super breakfast set It comes with 5 plasticine cans and accessories to create meals. This brand of plasticine is the most recommended because they last a long time and do not easily stick to surfaces like others.
