It’s fun to shop for gifts for three year old girls. They are more like “little big” people as their personalities are blooming. It wasn’t that long ago that they couldn’t communicate, and you were essentially guessing at what they liked and disliked.
Of course, this depends on you living close enough to know your 3 year old amiga well. That’s not the case for many of us, which makes shopping more difficult.
If this is your situation, we’ve got your back. We’ve written this gift guide to help you out. Inside, we have high-quality, solid toys your young child will love. All have a high “replay” value – meaning they will be used for many months or even years of play. We’ve also included a guide to selecting age-appropriate toys for both boys and girls in case you want to go to the store and shop on your own.

The Radio Flyer My 1st Scooter is one of the best outdoor toys for toddlers who want the wheels but are still developing their balancing and coordination skills. The scooter is designed to boost your toddler’s riding fun while keeping them safe as they develop necessary skills.
A broad base help with better balance. As a beginner on their first scooter, your toddler must concentrate on many aspects that are foreign to them. The broad base makes it easier for them to balance without falling or slipping off a narrow base when trying to move forward. It is also textured so that beginner rider will stay on the deck and not slip off during movement.
When your toddler does fall with the scooter, and they all do, the base is low to the ground. They may end up with a few scrapes and a dented pride, but they won’t fall far with the deck close to the ground.
The handgrips are comfortable to hold onto and the right size for small hands.
Two wheels in the front maximize the scooter’s stability, ensuring the toddler is safe on the scooter. It won’t topple or tip while your toddler is learning how to ride the scooter and keep their balance at the same time. Another safety feature is the turning radius that is designed for the best mobility without being unsafe.
The scooter is available in red and pink colors. The classic model has a foot brake; the sport model doesn’t.

This isn’t one toy – instead you buy a three or six month subscription and “crates” are delivered throughout the year. Parents and children work together to create the project for the month and then play with it afterward. We’ve reviewed quite a few over the years – and our reviewer families have raved about how these crates have provided hours of quality parent-child bonding time.
The subject of the kits varies – but you’ll find a parental guide, board book and creative materials for 2-3 projects inside each toy box. The toy projects are fun to play with after you build them – but not all of them have a long life of replayability. Some do, but for others, the creation process is where the fun is at.

Your toddler may play on the slide indoors or outside in the backyard on a soft play surface.

The blue step ladder steps are a decent height for young legs and have handlebars at the top to help them up and into a sitting position. The slide is 3-feet tall, which is high enough for a toddler slide. The red slide is 5-feet in length, which is the right length for a beginner to have fun without losing their balance or getting stuck halfway.

For girls 2 to 6 Years of age
Pros:
- There’s nothing better for gaining balance skills to prepare for a “big-girl” bike.
- Looks very similar to bikes ridden by Mom and Dad.
- Provides age-appropriate mobility so she can explore the world.
- No flat tires and limited moving parts make for easy maintenance for parents.
- Helps develop hand-eye coordination and improve motor skills for your 3 year old.
Cons:

- The foot rest may rub against the smallest riders feet and ankles depending on their form.
A balance bike is a great choice for your girl that has places to be! Unlike many tricycle or regular bikes, balance bikes don’t have pedals. Instead, kids use their feet to push around “Flintstones-style”. This is much easier for a 3 year old to master, and helps to quickly develop the balance skills needed to graduate to a regular bicycle.
This bike is adjustable so your child will be able to use it as girl ages. she will likely move to a real bike long before outgrowing this toy.
This model is especially nice because of it’s low center of gravity – it’s easier to control. Most children over 6 will be too big for this balance bike, but it will depend on the height and skill of the individual girl. Each child grows differently.
Pros:
- The vinyl sides stretch to help toddlers climb out of the water.
- 6.5 inches of water is the right amount for kids to have fun without being too deep.
Cons:
- It takes time to empty the inflatable pool because the material is too stretchy to turn it over.
The Intex Crystal Blue Inflatable Pool has a 6.5-inch water depth that is the right amount of water for splashing fun on a hot summer’s day. It’s not too deep for your toddler but enough water to sit or play-swim in.
The inflatable pool is large enough for more than one toddler. Invite friends over for a swim or enjoy cooling off and splashing each other at a birthday party. It is a good size for water activities and water games. You could add a water slide for your toddler or their favorite water toys. If you don’t want to use it as a pool, use it as a great ball pit during the winter months. It should hold between 200-300 balls.
When your toddler has finished playing in the water, you don’t have to waste the water. Use a beaker to water a flower bed and lift the pool on one side for the water to run out on the lawn. Make sure the pool is dry before storing it.
The pool is made from vinyl. The stretchy material allows toddlers to push the sides down when they want to climb out of the pool. The stretchiness, however, makes it’s difficult to turn over when filled with water. First, remove water with a beaker before you turn it over. It is safer for kids if they can’t turn it over.
Although toddlers 2-years and older may play in the pool, it has small pieces that are deemed choking hazard for kids under 3-years of age.

What We Like About The Melissa & Doug Puppet Theater
For girls 1 to 3 Years of age
Pros:
- This plush toy is SOFT….REALLY soft! Your 3 year old will love holding it.
- The animation will keep your young child entertained for a long time.
- It’s a great gift your girl will remember as she grows up.
Cons:
- There isn’t a lot of variety in the song (there’s only one) – but children at this age don’t seem to mind.
- It’s only surface washable due to the electronics.
Every child LOVES a stuffed animal, and the Baby GUND Flora The Bunny is the top toys for 3 year old girls for a reason. To begin with, it’s really soft. Your young one will absolutely love to hug and snuggle with Flora because of the way it feels.
Since it’s made by GUND, there’s 120 years of tradition and craftsmanship at work that you can see in this toy. They know how to make safe toys for infants – and the Flora The Bunny toy doesn’t disappoint.
Once you flip the switch, Flora comes to life. There are two modes your infant girl will come to adore. The first is a game of interactive “Peek-A-Boo”. No child this age can resist peek-a-boo, and Flora is very good at playing it. If her other foot is pressed, the bunny will sing a cute rendition of “Do Your Ears Hang Low.” She’ll also move her ears – your kid will love it.
In fact, the only real downside to this toy is you’ll eventually know all the words by heart because most children don’t tire of repeating the play and song, over and over. Luckily, it’s not TOO loud.
For girls 1 to 3 Years of age
Pros:
- Provides sturdy support as your 3 year old begins to learn to walk.
- Colorful construction and entertaining lights and sounds make it a great toy on it’s own.
- Very easy assembly will get your girl up and playing in no time.
- Wheels add traction on almost any indooor surface – including wood floors and carpets.
Cons:
- Does every toy have to have lights and sounds :)
- The phone is small enough that it’s VERY easy to lose. Keep an eye on it.
Build those motor skills and have fun at the same time! Your 3 year old girl can find she balance and get up and walking while using this toy. It’s not just a walker, but also a stand-alone toy when you remove the play panel from the wheels. There are bright colors, a wide variety of animals and shapes and other distractions for your 3 year old to have a blast! There’s even a phone – no rotary dial on this model like you might remember from your childhood though.
Once your 3 year old girl is mobile, this walker really shines. It’s easy to push and provides nice support as she begins the journey to walking. There are two settings on the wheels so if it’s moving too fast or slow for their age, make the necessary adjustments. Do remember the batteries to power all the lights and sounds – unless you need a break of course!
For girls 1 to 6 Years of age
Pros:
- Self-propelled nature of toy both builds up muscle development and helps to burn off energy in your 3 year old.
- While relatively easy to use, there is some skill needed to spin fast. This helps to keep the replay value high.
- In simplest terms: Most girls think it’s really fun to spin.
Cons:
- Really only appropriate for girls who can move about on their own – so you’ll need to judge if your child is ready.
- Not every kid likes to get dizzy. Most parents don’t like to clean up after children that don’t like to get dizzy. :)
The Playskool Sit ‘n Spin is a fun toy geared towards girls developed enough to sit up on their own. Children control their speed through their own arm power, which both allows them to control the speed and burn off tons of energy at the same time. This is especially helpful when kids are cooped up inside during winter months without many outlets for pent-up ::gender::-power. While it’s simple, it is extremely fun. It’s definitely one of the best toys for 3 year old girl.
This isn’t a new toy – I played with and loved one of these as a child myself. They last for many years, and kids will play with them from the pre-2 age all the way up to 6-7 years old.
Our Process For Selecting The Best Toys And Gifts For 3 year old girls
We spend weeks writing all of our toy review and gift guides. We know you rely on our input, and we take that trust seriously. Our writers and editors have spent approximately 24 hours researching and testing the most popular toys for 3 year old girls that you can find on the market in December 2024.

We have reviewed many more toys than we list in this guide – and many of them are good but not quite as great as the ones that made the cut.
As toys move in and out of stock, the list will change. We want this list to help you get the best toys you can for your 3 year old this Holiday season.
Frequently Asked Questions About Toys for Three-Year-Old Girls
Is my three-year-old girl ready for her first Barbie or similar type of dolls?
It depends on what you mean by being ready for a Barbie doll. Manufacturers label the recommended age for Barbies as from three years old and up. It means that there aren’t any pieces that may be a choking hazard for a three-year-old toddler. It also means that she is ready to play with a Barbie type of doll but perhaps not to its full potential.
To a three-year-old girl, playing with Barbie means carrying her around, pretend-playing, and even undressing her. She doesn’t necessarily yet have the fine motor skills to dress her Barbie again. Perhaps she doesn’t also have the desire to dress and undress her Barbie. Messing up the doll’s hair is much more fun. Your three-year-old is quite happy in dressing herself in mismatches clothes; she’s not into dressing the Barbie. If the doll’s hair survives your three-year-old, the Barbie will still be part of her toys next year too.
Should I be worried because my three-year-old doesn’t want to be a princess? Don’t all little girls want to be princesses?
Each child is unique and has her interests, likes, and dislikes. Not all little girls want to be a princess. Neither is every woman in the adult world a princess. Some wish they were, but others aren’t interested in that type of lifestyle.
If your little girl prefers to be an astronaut, a scientist, a baker, or mimicking mommy, why not? She is as cute as an astronaut as she would’ve been as a princess. Besides, there aren’t any witches or stepmothers that could destroy your little girl’s space career.
What is the best toy for three-year-old girls?
The best toy for any child is always the type of toy that interests her. If you’re not sure what to buy your three-year-old daughter as a gift, take her shopping. She will soon enough indicate to you what type of toys fascinates her. She may even find a new interest with a kind of toy she hasn’t played with yet.
Imaginative toys like dolls, dress-ups, grownup replica items, puppets, baking, and toy foods may stimulate your little girl’s creativity and imagination. Little girls have active imaginations, and most toys may inspire pretend play, which is suitable for her development.
A picture book she can turn the pages of or a bedtime storybook is one of the best gifts for three-year-old girls. Books are always great gifts for children and adults. Introducing your little girl to books creates the desire to become a lifelong reader.
Three-year-old girls and boys are improving and strengthening their gross and finer motor skills. Balance bikes and scooters are great toys to help them accomplish that.
When should I start buying educational toys?
The youngest age recommendation for educational toys is four to six months. Kids are curious and like to discover and learn new things presented to them in their environment. Toys are designed to help develop a child’s skill in a specific age group. Most toys at young ages are educational toys in the sense that almost everything stimulates toddlers and young kids’ curiosity.
When buying a toy at the recommended age, you are helping your child develop the skills that are milestones for that age group. Educational toys for three-year-old may help improve their fine and gross motor skills, help with emotional development, creativity, and imagination. Her curiosity may overlap into the ultimate “Why” question. Books, for example, are one of the best toys for three-year-old girls to feed their curiosity with exciting facts and answer some of the “why” questions.
Should I focus on teaching my daughter numbers and words?
Three-year-old children are old enough to start learning numbers and letters. There are wonderful toys that may teach and help her memorize letters and numbers. Although you, as a parent, may encourage these skills, it isn’t crucial for her to know the numbers and alphabet. It’s a bonus but shouldn’t be the priority in your or her life.
Developing patience and embracing social skills are as crucial for your three-year-old to learn. Educational toys that encourage and assist her in the learning process are far more valuable than memorizing numbers. Familiarizing her with educational toys creates a lifelong habit of exploring, learning, and discovering new things.
Can my daughter play with boys’ toys and vice versa?
The secret of selecting the best gift for a three-year-old girl or boy is to buy them what they like. If the little girl likes dolls, then buy her more dolls. If she likes trucks, LEGO, dressing up, then buy her the type of toys that satisfy her interest.
It is more critical to buy age recommended toys for your girl than sticking to a girl only toys. Most toys for three-year-olds are designed to help develop skills for that age. Manufacturers also follow safety guidelines relevant to specific age groups. Toys for three-year-old girls and boys shouldn’t have small pieces or parts that can come loose that could be a choking hazard. The toys should also be comfortable to grip in the tiny hands of a toddler.
How do I know a three-year-old girl will like the toy before I spend money purchasing the gift?
The toys we selected on the list are some of the best toys for three-year-old girls. We categorized the toys to make it easy to determine the type of toy. If you know what kind of toys the little girl likes to play with, then you should find a great toy for her in the toy guide. For example, if she likes playing outdoors and enjoys physical activity, the balancing bike may be an excellent gift for her.
If you are buying a birthday gift for a little girl, you don’t know that well, purchasing a toy that satisfies her curiosity or stimulates imaginative play may be a good pick. If you’re totally at a loss in what to gift a three-year-old, give her a book.
