17 Best Toys & Gift Ideas for 3-Year-Old Girls: 2024 Picks

When I was a little girl, my kitchen treats involved mud. Your daughter doesn’t have to get her hands dirty with this adorable wooden cookie set.

It includes 12 sliceable cookies with 12 removable toppings, a wooden knife, a spatula, a baking tray, and an oven mitt. It also comes with a handy storage tube. Your little girl can have a lot of fun as she bakes, decorates, slices, and serves these colorful cookies.

There are many benefits too. This toy will improve her fine motor development, cognitive function, and imagination. It can be a social toy or develop her sense of independence.

The cookies are made from strong, non-toxic materials, and the set has a 100% quality guarantee. They are durable and pass the test of time. We’ve had our set for over a decade, and it’s still going strong! They look good enough to eat, don’t they?

Who doesn’t love Moana? She’s a strong Disney princess with a keen sense of adventure, bravery, and compassion. If she’s not a role model, who is?

If your little girl loved the movie, she’ll undoubtedly love this Moana doll. She’s an impressive 14 inches tall and is true to the character. She comes in her iconic outfit with a removable flower hair clip your girl can wear too.

This doll is a favorite that could enhance your daughter’s sense of compassion and creativity.

Fantasy play is important, and to this day, Frozen remains popular in girls’ pretend play. Although this dress is intended as a costume for Halloween or cosplay, our little ones wear it everywhere, adding that extra touch of magic to their imagination.

This Elsa-inspired dress has battery-powered LED lights that are pretty, cool, and out of the ordinary. It’s made of silk, so it’s soft and won’t scratch or annoy your little girl. The floor-length dress comes in various sizes, starting at 3 years old.

It also comes with a matching tiara, wand, and batteries for the LED lights.

If your little girl is showing a love for music, then this is the perfect present. This bright pink piano is made for babies and toddlers, but older kids will love it, too. It has piano keys, percussion effects, and even a multi-angle adjustable microphone so she can sing her heart out.

There’s a record and replay button, so she can record a song and play it back for you. There’s also a mode that teaches them to play better and note any mistakes they have made. If you want to add to the performance, plug in a mobile device so your little one can use their favorite songs for karaoke.

This helps kids to develop their musical skills at a young age and get familiar with electronic buttons and feedback. It’s perfect for parties, too!

“Sunny Day” is a Nickelodeon show that centers around a colorful hairstylist as she helps her community and encourages confidence. Whether or not your girl is a Sunny fan, she can enjoy this quirky doll.

Sunny comes in her exclusive, true-to-character outfit with removable accessories, including a comb. What’s really cool about this doll is that it comes with a 3 pop-in hair accessories tool your girl can use to customize Sunny’s hair.

She’ll have 9 pop-in spots to customize hair looks to choose from. However, her hair color can’t change. Still, what a cool idea.

As much as we hate to admit it, there’s still a bit of a stigma that girls shouldn’t (or can’t) be too smart. Prove them wrong by getting your girl this awesome STEM magnetic block set.

It has 103 pieces of varying colors and shapes. It also includes a guidebook to spark creativity. The blocks have round edges for extra safety and are durable and non-toxic.

This set can give your daughter a headstart in cognitive function, including coordination, critical thinking, and reasoning. However, as with all magnetic toys, we recommend you keep a close eye on children while they play to ensure none of the magnets escape the tiles and end up in a mouth.

This little laptop has four learning modes that teach music, letters, and spelling. You can customize your Leaptop to spell your 3-year-old’s name and add personalized “email” messages that she can respond to in the email interface.

There are 16 songs programmed into this, with 26 animal animations to keep your daughter interested in learning. It also has a handle for easy portability.

This is a versatile toy that is educational and imaginative. It also helps keep your little one away from real electronics, and that’s a win-win situation.

Here’s another electronic toy that will benefit your little girl. This keyboard has a color-changing screen, piano keys, and letter buttons. The tablet teaches letters, numbers, and matching.

There are 12 learning activities that progress in difficulty. The tablet also has a pretend camera, calendar, and volume control. Batteries are included.

We love this cute pink version that makes this developmental toy extra-appealing to little ladies.

The hype regarding fidget toys hasn’t left us yet, and this pack of 35 is an easy way to keep your 3-year-old focused and calm. With such a large variety of sensory toys, your daughter will be spoiled for choice in busting boredom.

This pack includes beans, squishies, a rainbow magic ball, a speed cube, a maze, a fidget controller, a mesh marble trap, stress balls, and a whole lot more. These toys are healthy for all kids but especially work wonders in children with ADHD, anxiety, or autism.

Give all 35 to your child, or use the individual toys as party favors. There’s a lot of versatility here. However, as some of the toys contain small pieces, such as marbles, you’ll want to ensure that all play is supervised.

These crafty little creatures have been some of my daughter’s favorite toys for three years and counting. She has spent countless hours playing with her collection.

The unique design is fun for imaginative play and gets creative juices flowing. Your girl can decorate her selection of little white pets as she pleases.

The markers are super washable, and the set includes a bath/shower combo and a cleaning brush for the pets. Simply add a little water and pump the shower button to rainwater from the palm tree onto your pets. Scrub the designs away and decorate again.

If you have a tech-savvy daughter, Crayola has a corresponding app. Add the code for your pets or earn pets in the app, and you can decorate and play with them on a mobile device.

Although there are many sets to choose from, we like this safari playset. It includes different safari animals, such as a lion, elephant, monkey, and giraffe. The set comes with six markers to keep your little one busy for quite some time. If they run out of ink, you can replace them with any Crayola Ultra Clean washable markers.

If you want something bigger, you can add to the collection from a wide range of Scribble Scrubbie sets.

Beads are the equivalent of diamonds to little girls. Here we have a jewelry-making set that is colorful, catchy, and easy to craft. It adds a new level to arts and crafts and can really give your little one a creativity (and confidence) boost.

You don’t need thread because the pieces all snap together. You get 520 pieces of varying shapes, sizes, and colors — enough to thoroughly decorate any princess.

Beading encourages your child’s creativity, imagination, fine motor skills, cognitive skills, hand-eye coordination, and pattern recognition.
