My son just turned 4 and I found during the year of 3, he played with a little bit of everything! Such a great age! With this age, however, I did find it hard to find gifts for him that he didn’t already have. He has quite the little collection. When creating these guides, I always want to incorporate items from different categories. Always something to read, some outside toys, learning toys and so on. I hope you get some unique ideas to get you started! And remember, you do not need all of these ideas! Just pick a couple.
Once you’re done shopping for your 3 year old, be sure to check out the rest of the gift guides for ages 1 - 6!
Now, onto the 3 year old Easter Basket Gift Guide. Simply find the number you are interested in and start shopping! See the Youtube video at the bottom of the page!
