Best Gifts for 3 Year Old Girls - Safe store bought and homemade presents
A selection of store bought and homemade gifts for a 3 year old!
I admit, I do struggle a bit with buying gifts for kids that are under three but after they reach this benchmark things get easier as if you take a closer look on the toys you will notice most of them have a 3+ mark on them making them an appropriate and more importantly a safe gift to give to a 3 year old.
I have been buying a gift for my friends daughters 3rd birthday back in March, I got her something really cool but you will have to read on to find out what it was. I will be getting another 3 year old safe gift in a couple of weeks too but this one won't be pink inspired as it's for my boy nephew.
On this page I will be sharing some of the toys I have taken in consideration when I was getting the gift, some of the latest most asked for and best selling products and a bunch of homemade ideas as I think making gifts at home is fun and the kids will also love them.

Playhouses make a great gift for a 3 year olds! - And every girl will enjoy this one
I so wanted to have a play house when I was a kid but I never got one as they did cost a whole fortune back then. We often improvised and made our own playhouses out of cardboard, well technically older kids did it we just played in it which was lots of fun.

Homemade Play Kitchen - What girl wouldn't want one? - Get creative and save some money
I didn't have a play kitchen when I was a kid, well I had one for a while and it was made out of cardboard but I always wanted one. My best friend had it though and we enjoyed cooking our make believe dishes. Sometimes we had real food in the kitchen as my or her mom would be kind enough to help us with some basic non cooking recipes. Ah the precious memories.
You can easily make a play kitchen by yourself (partially) and it won't end up costing you a fortune so do give it a thought and check how this play kitchen was made at Creative Green Living

Roller Skates
Me and my sister, we both had roller skates when we were little and I still remember them - they were black and one had fluorescent orange and the others had fluorescent green wheels. I was one of the rare kids on the block that never did get the hang on these though. I also had the in-line skates when I was a big bigger - couldn't get the hang of them either (again everybody else did). Funnily enough I can ice skate and everyone says it's almost the same and if you can ice skate you shouldn't have any problems with roller or in-line skating.
Homemade My Little Pony Plush! - Oh so cute!
I will be honest here, this homemade Pinkie Pie looks way better than the store bought one, not to mention you can make it in any size you want. I don't know which girl would not love this one. If she has another favourite pony in the My Little Pony universe you can always customize the pattern to make it work for you.

My gift to our little 3 year old girl - My Little Pony Princess Celestia
When I was choosing a gift for her I couldn't help but to think about me! When I was a wee little girl I really, really wanted a My Little Pony but this wish was never fulfilled. So I decided to give one to her.
