About our toys for three year olds

By three, play has started to have a plot. The doll needs a walk, the teepee is a castle, and the trike is the fastest thing on the pavement.

Every toy here is recommended from age three or younger and keeps going well beyond it: Banwood trikes for ages 3 to 6, scooters and skateboards from 3, dolls and prams for pretend play, MINICAMP play teepees, a climbing set and a wooden balance board.

Choosing a toy for a three year old

Riding

The Banwood Trike is recommended for ages 3 to 6 and comes with a wicker basket and bell. The Banwood Vintage 3-Wheel Scooter is sized for riders from age three, with a T-handlebar that adjusts to 70cm, 75cm or 80cm, and the Eco Scooter, made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, is also recommended from three. The Banwood Skateboard is designed for riders aged three and up.

Pretend play

Three year olds love a doll to look after. The Antonio Juan Toneta and Carla dolls are recommended for ages three and up and are built around bedtime play, and the Arias Emma pram and Roma Polly pram are made for children from three, with the Polly's handle adjusting from 55cm to 78cm as they grow.

Dens and climbing

The MINICAMP Fairy teepee stands 165cm tall and is recommended from three, with an OEKO-TEX certified cotton cover. The MeowBaby House and Ladder Climbing Set converts between an open climbing ladder and an enclosed den, and the MeowBaby wooden balance board is recommended from three, always with an adult nearby.

Questions about toys for three year olds

What toys are good for a 3 year old?

At three, children are ready for toys with more independence and imagination: a trike or scooter to ride, a doll and pram to look after, and a den or climbing set for indoor play. Everything in this collection is recommended from age three or younger, and each product page sets out its own age guidance, so you can check the fit before you buy.
Trike or scooter for a 3 year old?

Both suit three year olds. The Banwood Trike, recommended for ages 3 to 6, suits a child who is learning to pedal and likes to sit and ride, with a basket for carrying treasures. A three-wheel scooter suits a child who likes to push and glide, and the Vintage 3-Wheel Scooter's handlebar adjusts to 70cm, 75cm or 80cm as they grow.
Are these toys suitable for 4 and 5 year olds too?

Most of them are. The Banwood Trike is recommended up to six and the Balance Bike up to five, the scooters and skateboards are designed for riders from three upwards, and dolls, prams and play teepees tend to stay in use for years. Each product page gives its full age guidance, so check the upper limit for anything you are buying for an older child.
What is a good big present for a 3 year old?

A trike, scooter, play teepee or climbing set makes a memorable main present, because each is something a child can use every day for several years. For a smaller budget, a doll from Antonio Juan or the Arias Emma pram is a present that leads straight into pretend play on Christmas Day.
Do I need a helmet with a scooter or trike?

A helmet is a sensible addition for any child riding a scooter, balance bike or skateboard, especially outdoors. Banwood makes children's helmets, sold separately, and the product page for each scooter and trike sets out its recommended age. It is worth fitting the helmet before the first ride, so it is ready when the scooter comes out.
