They are deep in the “I’ll do it myself” phase, so they enjoy things that help them master the fine motor skills that might help them dress themselves, said Marie Conti, head of The Wetherill School in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, and a board member of the American Montessori Society. “Three-year-olds are getting to be more social and have ideas of their own,” said Tovah Klein, director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development and author of “How Toddlers Thrive.” According to Klein, “Open-ended toys such as blocks and building toys allow them to explore, discover and carry out their ideas." (Or not: There’s a reason people call them “threenagers.”) They’re becoming increasingly verbal and able to answer questions and follow directions. The best gifts for 3-year-olds will include plenty of opportunities to explore as toddlers grow and develop into more imaginative play.įinally out of the " terrible twos," many are entering school for the first time and interacting with friends.
