The kid knows colors well, knows how to assemble in the correct sequence pyramids, nesting dolls, molds, and even mother’s pans from small to large, distinguishes objects by size (large, small, medium) and shape.
At this time, there is a leap in the development of speech - that is why the child asks so many questions from which parents start to feel dizzy. Thanks to the manifested independence and independence, the baby’s favorite words will be “I myself!” And it becomes difficult to cope with the baby.

Parents are willing to invest in early education (which is why reading and numeracy are so popular). The only thing to remember is that it does not guarantee that you will grow a genius. Time to school is the period when the baby should enjoy simple children's joys without any worries. Educational games will be a great gift. Stores offer a huge number of such toys. The main thing is to choose by age (otherwise the gift will not be understood and will not cause any emotions).

Which animal can be presented to a three-year-old baby?
A live gift is another option for a birthday present, especially if the child loves animals, and parents are ready to buy a little fluffy. Having a pet will contribute to the development of responsibility, kindness, care. But there are some minor disadvantages that you should think about before buying an animal. A baby at 3 years old is still small to take care of a pet on his own. Therefore, care falls on the shoulders of parents (think about whether you are ready for additional responsibility).
It is difficult for the child to communicate with the animal (he may not be able to hold small animals in his hands, communication with rodents is a little specific, the fish will not interest the baby for a long time, the puppy and kitten need a lot of love and care). If parents immediately accept the fact that raising and keeping a pet has some difficulties, then any animal will become a real member of the family. Animals ideal for 3 years old baby:
- kitten;
- puppy;
- hamster;
- Guinea pig;
- parrot;
- turtle;
- rat.
