Activities for 3 year olds?

• Answer #1

  I am currently babysitting a 3 year old boy and a 1 year old. The three year old loves play dough, going to the park (we do that a lot), watching the trash truck, jumping on the trampoline with me, coloring, etc. We made pipe cleaner necklaces with pasta and bead which was fun. Also, I would suggest making cookies some time. There's a lot of super easy cake mix cookies that are fun for the kids to make. All it needs is a cake mix a couple eggs and some oil, all of which he can help me put in the bowl and stir up. It's super fun.

  3 year olds are soo much fun...they love to color, "draw", play doh, moon sand, crafts, going to the park, taking "nature" walks, playing outside, baking, sand boxes, sit down and play dinosaurs with him, or cars...whatever you do remember that they love when "big" people act like little kids...the goofier you are the better it will be for him.

  teach them new games, like freeze tag and if its one chile just run around the house, put some music on and dance with them, I know the kids I babaysit love to do that. they also love when you leave they're favorite show on teevee. they also love playing dress up..and sometimes I even let them run through the sprinkler.

  I have a 3 year old son, and hide and seek is always a blast. 3 year olds love Castles with the figurines, so if you have one, if you play with him, that's a lot of fun to see his imagination as you play and ask questions. They love interacting in that manner.
