Three years old is typically a great time to introduce new elements of art and crafts to kids. They may be starting to perfect their grip with crayons and paintbrushes. They may be more cautious of mess, and their attention spans may be developing more. The best tools will further help develop these skills. These are some of our favorite art and craft supplies for 3 year olds.

If you have a child who loves to color this Ultimate Crayon Collection is the ultimate crayon collection. All of those colors means more options for beautiful creations to hang on my fridge. I know I wish I had that many crayons when I was little!
10. Do A Dot Art! Markers
Do a Dot markers are a fun yet less messy way to paint. There are a ton of printables online that incorporate the use of the dot markers. They are also fun for working with extra large pieces of paper on the floor.
How fun are those? Not only are they fun for the kids but a lot of them help parents and teachers too. It’s much easier for us if the activity is low prep and low mess which is why I chose these certain tools. When the activity is less stress for parents and teachers, you can watch how your child’s creativity is growing!
