Craft toys for 3 year old

9 replies

chillydownwiththefiregang · 10/12/2021 09:33

Hello,

Youngest DC who is three needs one more christmas pressie, and I'd like it to be something crafty which she really enjoys, rather than another toy. She loves playdoh, kinetic sand, drawing etc. What are your three year olds favourite crafty things to do please? Her sister is getting Aquabeads but these are too advanced for her.

Thanks.

Bumping this thread for you OP, but you might also like to post this in the Christmas talk area.

Have you got a drawing board, with a wipe clear thing along the bottom.a Tomy mega sketcher is one example I found but there’s loads of varieties.

Hama beads but the maxi (v large ones) are good.

I'd have a look at baker Ross. You'll end up buying 300 wooden birdhouses but they also have lots of ideas which you can often get cheaper at The Works

Interested in this thread?

Look at magic painting books. My daughter loves them. The usborne ones dry out and can be used over and over

Gummed shapes that can be licked or put on a damp sponge to stick onto paper. Bright and cheerful with minimum fuss or fuzzy felts are still popular

Thanks everyone I didn't realise there were any replies!

Off to investigate all your suggestions now, thank you.

The paint your own money boxes from Hobbycraft (and other places, but Hobbycraft has a massive range)

Sticker mosaics have been brilliant for mine at that age.
