    20 Of The Best Toys And Gifts You Can Get At Target For 3-Year-Olds

    Oh to be a 3-year-old and only have to worry about playing with these awesome toys.

    1. A Mirabel doll from Disney's most recent success Encanto. If your kids are obsessed like mine, they will love singing and dancing around with this adorable Mirabel.

    2. A Bluey Jeep for any 3-year-old who absolutely adores the Disney show. Now your Bluey fans can play with everyone's favorite blue Heeler family. We even bring our Jeep along when we go on road trips!

    3. A large crane truck to blow any toddler's mind! My 3-year-old is obsessed with this toy's ability to lift objects (I have no idea why?!) and will play with it for hours.

    4. A five-piece toy instrument set that'll help your blossoming musician jam out. The set includes a ukulele, tambourine, castanet, rain stick, and maraca — it is sure to be a ~hit~ during music time!

    5. And a small piano to accompany the above instrument set for your budding Mozart. This colorful piano features 25 keys and a music button that plays classical compositions. It also comes with an illustrated songbook featuring six songs. Your little will be on their way to playing a sold-out concert hall!

    6. A durable bowling set that'll help your little one brush up on their bowling skills while learning colors and numbers. This is definitely a *strike* out in the gift game!

    7. A small kids trampoline perfect for rambunctious kiddos who need to bounce their energy away before bed. We bought this trampoline to help our kids during quarantine and we still use it every day to get the sillies out at the end of the day. The balance rod also folds down for easy storage!

    8. A toddler basketball set because every little baller needs their first hoop. We have this hoop at home and enjoy playing with it indoors, especially on rainy days. The kids love pretending like they are shooting 3-pointers like Stephen Curry all day.

    9. And a tee-ball set so your little one can perfect their swing! It includes a bat, baseballs, and tee. Aye, batter, batter, your kid will be out on the field in no time with this set!

    10. A Minnie Mouse telephone they'll use to "call" their BFFs. Have you ever watched a 3-year-old use a toy phone? It's adorably hilarious. Aren't you curious who they decide on calling first?!

    11. An Etch A Sketch, a classic toy every parent probably had that never failed to provide hours of focused fun. Stick your kid in front of this thing instead of the TV — soon you will be begging for a turn!

    12. An ocean and sand sensory bin that my 3-year-old (and 7-year-old) are smitten with. Explore the shores and depths of the ocean with this kit. It's perfect for introducing concepts such as texture and shape as well as helping them identify animals.

    13. An ice cream playset so your little one can indulge in some yummy playtime. While we can't have ice cream every day, we can surely pretend!

    14. A fishing kit guaranteed to get your kiddo jazzed about your next trip to the lake. This toy is perfect for working on colors, measurement, counting, and fine motor skills. It is also a great activity for the entire family to partake.

    15. A kinetic sand kit that makes for the perfect indoor activity for those rainy or snowy days. My 3-year-old can independently play with this activity kit for at least an hour. Let me repeat that one more time: at least an ENTIRE HOUR!

    16. A bathtub ball track for those days when you need them to play in the bath just a little bit longer. This set might be just as entertaining for you as it is for them!

    17. And an adorable fishin' toy that can also be used in the bath. The magnetic bopper definitely helps with your developing child's hand and motor skills. This is sure to be a *reel* good time!

    18. A triceratops which transforms into a race car. This thing is the real deal if you have a kiddo who likes dinosaurs, fast cars, and cool lights.

    19. A wooden train set to make any three-year-old squeal with joy. Let me tell you: the fascination with trains at this age is real. We love this set because you can configure the tracks in multiple ways, making each playtime unique and special. 🙂

    20. A Peppa Pig Me Reader Jr so you can foster early learning skills such as literacy. This awesome tool comes with eight books and a device that reads them out loud to your child. I always say that the perfect time to start introducing kids to reading is the present time!
