“The first premise for a child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy ” . WHAT GAMES ARE SUITABLE FOR A 3 YEAR OLD?

When the child reaches three years of age, he has developed many skills both from a cognitive and a motor point of view. Playful activity, which may seem like a simple pastime useful for engaging the child, on the other hand takes on considerable importance because it contributes to its development in all its facets.

Let’s try to give you some simple ideas to choose the most suitable games in this age group.

We know that all children love constructions, which stimulate not only imagination and creativity, but also fine motor skills . It is through the imagination that, by fitting together the various components, always different objects will be built: a car, an airplane or a very high tower … which then will often fall noisily!

Around the age of three, the child has developed a good command of language, he knows about 500 words and is able to produce whole sentences not only by associating simple words with each other. We can increase his vocabulary by providing him with lots of books to leaf through and by reading simple stories together, but also by singing short nursery rhymes and songs, which he will slowly learn (even if often he will not remember all the words). I personally bought the books from our catalog and I favored short stories with an educational value ( you can find them here ).

To develop logical skills, all memory games such as memory, dominoes and bingo games are very useful , through which the child will not only begin to make small memory efforts but will also learn the first notions about colors, numbers and shapes.

At the age of 3, the child often attends kindergarten, therefore he begins to establish relationships of friendship with his peers, learning to share games and collaborate also thanks to role-playing games. In fact, we will see teams of chefs who will take turns to cook excellent dishes, a medical team always ready to treat dolls in need by collaborating in search of the best therapy, mechanics and carpenters willing to repair cars or “old” furniture by exchanging tools of the trade …

Finally, let’s not forget to enhance the creative side of the child, stimulating the imagination and above all the fine motor skills through the use of colored pencils, tempera, finger paints , glitter , dies … tactile perception, favoring the ability to concentrate and imagination.

Finally, movement games such as tricycles , slides, swings and trampolines, which through fun help body perception and promote the development of balance, are always very popular with children.
