Gifts That Will Make a 3-Year-Old Very, Very, Very Happy
Who doesn’t want to delight a 3-year-old? Here’s a gift guide that’ll definitely make it happen.
Jack Shepherd

Here’s the thing about 3-year-olds — they’ve got three modes: 1) Being, um, difficult, 2) sleeping, and 3) being absolute treasures. And the whole ballgame, if you’re fortunate enough to be a parent of a 3-year-old, is to maximize the amount of time you’re all spending in modes number 2 and 3. That’s probably enough highly dubious 3-year-old philosophizing for one paragraph, but the point is that if you want to make a 3-year-old in your life very happy indeed — which, of course you do; you’re not a monster! — these gifts are going to get the job done for you. Give one of these little treasures to your little treasure and pretty much everybody wins.
Something for a “Bluey” Fan
“Bluey” is a national treasure (of Australia, technically), but the playful, positive, genuinely funny vibe of that show makes it a rare thing that parents and little ones will both enjoy. If you’re a “Bluey” family, these “Bluey” gifts will help a little one seamlessly transition from screen time to playtime.

Something for a 3-Year-old Who Loves to Build

And for a building experience that’s more structured, what’s more fun than building a marble race track? The Hape Marble Race to the Finish has you covered.
