Finding the best gifts for 3-year old girls is SUCH a fun task! This is a great age where they’re all of a sudden interested in so many new toys, plus they’re really starting to learn a lot of new concepts.
This means that there’s a whole new world of educational toys for them to use, as well as some great classics that are both fun AND provide a great chance to learn.
I hope these gift ideas help excite your little 3-year old! Have fun with this special milestone and good luck with your shopping!

Activity Desk
This activity desk is one of the best gift ideas for 3-year old girls and full of sooo many new things for them to learn!
The desk is interactive, so it will help them learn their letters, shapes, sea creatures, farm animals, body parts, and so much more.
When folded up, it can also be used as a chalkboard, which is another fun activity for a 3-year old.
This is one of those gifts that you’ll be so glad your 3-year old has…and they’ll use it for years!
Magnet Tiles
Magnet tiles are a great gift idea for 3-year old girls, especially since they fall under the STEM category, which is a huge bonus.
These tiles work like blocks, but also do other things since they are magnetic.
These are one of those gifts that all 3-year olds love!
And since no batteries are involved, it’s another great tech-free toy idea.
This is also another gift idea that will last for years, so you won’t regret getting this one.
Slumberkins
Slumberkins are such a wonderful gift idea for 3-year old girls!
Each set comes with a board book and matching stuffie that teaches an important emotional development concept – things like being unique, having confidence and helping the community.
The stuffies are so soft and adorable – they’re perfect choices to fall asleep with and definitely have the potential to turn into a new lovey. And each book ends with affirmations that your little girl will repeat!
There is a full collection to fall in love with, but these are some of the best for 3-year old girls:
- Honey Bear (teaches gratitude)
- Slumber Sloth (teaches them how to fall asleep on their own!)
- Unicorn (teaches them to love their uniqueness)
Jewelry Kit
This jewelry kit is such a fun gift idea for 3-year old girls and it’s part toy, part dress up.
All of the pieces are able to click together…so they don’t need to be threading beads or tying knots – the pieces can connect and disconnect by simply pushing and pulling!
The pieces are also much larger than standard beads, so they’re great for playing and you don’t have to worry too much about losing anything.
This is a really cute gift idea and is so much fun to watch them enjoy!
VTech Magnet Board
This VTech magnet board is such an amazing gift for 3-year old girls!
Magnet boards in general are amazing gift ideas, but this one in particular has the added benefit of talking to them and teaching them how to write their letters and numbers.
It comes with different magnet shapes and a pen, as well as a tracing pad that can help them with some fun shapes!
This is a great alternative to arts and crafts if you aren’t able to supervise and also is a fabulous activity for long car rides.
This is definitely one of those gifts they’ll love for years!
Kiwi Crate
Kiwi Crate is a brilliant gift idea for 3-year old girls, especially if you have no idea what to get them OR if they already seem to have so much.
Every month, your 3-year old will get a package with everything they need to complete a really cute craft project (and it really does come with everything!).
The projects are a lot of fun and some of the crafts are cool enough to keep (we’ve made pillows, robot arms, and other cute toys).
This is also a really great idea if you need a long-distance gift option…and of course, this is one that they’ll get each and every month, so the gift will last as long as you want it to!
Child-Proof Tablet
If you want to give your 3-year old their absolute favorite gift of the year, then this child-proof tablet is it.
This is the age when they’ll really get pulled into it, but what is amazing is that this specific device is full of games, books, and videos that are all age-appropriate…with no access to adult content.
These tablets are so much fun for them, but the real added bonus is that they’re a great distraction in the car or at restaurants…really anywhere that you need to keep your child quiet and well-behaved!
Paint Sticks
These paint sticks are a really great arts and crafts idea for 3-year old girls that they AND you will love.
The paint sticks work like markers, but are actually made of paint, so they’re smoother, easier to use, and look way cooler!
This is a fun activity that isn’t a huge mess, but is a different texture and experience for your 3-year old, so they’ll really get into it.
My First Scissor Set
This scissor set is a really fun gift idea for 3-year old girls that are ready to start doing something new with arts and crafts!
Learning to use scissors is a big deal for soon-to-be preschoolers and this set has cute little activities that will help them practice, as well as their first pair of scissors (safe for 3-year olds!).
This is a great gift idea if you’re looking for something in the arts and crafts realm that isn’t a toy or battery-operated.
Hatchimals Hatchery Nursery (with Hatchimals CollEggtibles)
Hatchimal CollEggtibles are a brilliant little figurine collectible and the Hatchery Nursery is where their little hatchimals will live and play!
The first fun part about these little hatchimal collEggtibles is that your 3-year old will need to actually crack the egg to find their new figurine.
Then the playing will start!
These are cute little toys that your 3-year old may very well become obsessed with!
**If you end up getting the Nursery, make sure to also get a set of hatchimals to go with it.
Singing Moana
If Moana is a favorite princess of your 3-year old girl, then this singing Moana doll is the perfect gift idea!
The doll is as big as a classic babydoll (as opposed to barbie-sized), so they can have a lot of fun with her on their own, but she also sings her classic song when you press her necklace.
She also comes with a microphone, so your 3-year old can sing along with her, which is obviously ADORABLE.
Little Bookish Wardrobe
Little Bookish Wardrobe is one of the cutest subscription clubs for 3-year old girls that I’ve ever come across.
Every month, your little girl will receive a new book, a costume, arts and crafts, and accessories that all correspond to the book.
What a fun way to get into reading!
This is such a great idea for little girls that already have everything OR for long-distance gifts that will keep on giving all year long.
Dress-Up
You can’t go wrong with dress-up clothes for 3-year old girls, especially with all the options that are out there.
You can go the route of the classic princesses or focus on STEM-related costumes that little girls often seem to miss out on.
No matter which you choose, they’ll always have fun with make-believe.
Here are some really fun dress-up costumes to look at:
Polly Pocket
Polly Pocket is another great little gift for 3-year old girls that will keep them occupied for hours.
Polly comes with tiny shoes, tiny outfits, and a bunch of accessories that are a lot of fun for your little one to practice changing and having fun with.
For some reason, tiny little pieces seem to be the greatest thing ever for 3-year old girls, so Polly is a dream gift!
Barbies
Don’t forget about the most classic gift idea for 3-year old girls of all time – Barbies!
This is the age where Barbies start to become exciting and the obsession is only beginning.
It’s also fun to relive your own childhood where Barbie most likely had quite a presence!
I hope these gifts for 3-year old girls put a smile on your little one’s face! Have fun celebrating and good luck with your shopping.
