Gift tips for 3 year olds
Three-year-olds are busy exploring the world around them every day, developing their own interests, and starting to play more and more independently. Finding the right gift isn't just fun; it can also support their growth and development , which is always a bonus.
At online toy store In den Olifant, we have a great selection of gift ideas for 3-year-olds that perfectly match their world and are fun to give and receive.
Building and practicing fine motor skills
At age 3, children are busy improving their motor skills. Their hand coordination becomes more precise, and little by little, they can perform increasingly complex movements. By playing with blocks, puzzles, and stacking toys, their fine motor skills improve every day.
At In den Olifant, you'll find various sets specifically designed to develop motor skills. Think of colorful stackable blocks from Haba , wooden puzzles from PlanToys with simple shapes and numbers, or magnetic construction toys from Connetix that challenge children to create different shapes and structures, again and again.
Language and vocabulary grows
Language development takes major steps at age three. Children begin to form longer sentences, and their vocabulary expands rapidly. Toys that promote communication, such as dolls , small figurines , and wooden imitation toys , encourage imaginative play and role-play. This contributes to both their vocabulary and their ability to tell stories and empathize.
At In den Olifant, you'll find a wide selection of toys perfect for this stage, such as picture books, dollhouses, and skill games that encourage 3-year-olds to have conversations and create stories.
Practice cognitive skills and problem-solving
Three-year-olds are also increasingly able to solve simple problems and think logically. Toys that challenge them to think and make connections, such as puzzles , memory games, or sorting boxes, are great for supporting their cognitive development.
Online toy store In den Olifant offers a variety of games and toys that spark children's curiosity, such as color and shape recognition games and simple early board games. These help children develop problem-solving skills and improve their concentration.
Social skills and self-confidence increase
Three-year-olds are busy exploring social interactions. They're starting to play together more effectively, share, and develop their first friendships. Toys that encourage play, such as cooperative toys, play kitchens, or toy shops, can help children strengthen social skills and learn to work and play together.
At In den Olifant you will find versatile toys such as compact playsets, children's tools and small play vehicles that allow children to play together, communicate and ignite their imagination.
Creativity and imagination make everything more fun
Imagination and creative play play a major role in the development of 3-year-olds. They are true imitators who incorporate everyday situations into their play, reenacting everything they see. Toys that foster imagination, such as dolls, vehicles, animal figures, and construction sets, encourage this creative expression.
