Gathering jokes for my 3 yr-old

34 replies

I've started tellingjokes to my 3 yr-old. She sort of gets them but they have to be VERY simple. I picked up a book of kids jokes and looked at a couple of websites but most of the jokes are waaay too sophistated for her.

Current favourites of ours are:

What's very heavy and wears glass slippers? Cinderelephant.

Why did the elephant paint his toenails red? So he could hide in the cherry tree. (Took a lot of explaining and repeat performances but it was worth it.)

Ice cream and cats also figure heavily.

Dd's latest contribution was 'Why does a flower have a middle? Ans: Because it's a flower. Not rushing to book her as a stand-up just yet then....

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Oh, and my 4 year old niece falls about laughing at 'why did the chicken cross the road?'
'To get to the other side'.

She thinks it's absolutely hilarious!

I hesitate to mention it, but here's my three year old's favourite (only) joke:

Why did Tigger go down the toilet?
Because he was looking for Pooh.

(Am just hoping that she never tells it at her rather posh nursery )

I've copied and pasted these to print out. Thanks a lot!

I told dd the one: What's grey on the inside adn yellow on the outside? An elephant pretending to be a banana.

Yesterday dd came up with her best joke attempt (in fact the only one that has been remotely joke-like): What's gey on the inside and yellow on the outside? An elephant stuck inside a yellow hen.
