There’s always a lot of talk about adults having a bucket list or things to do before you’re 30, but what about toddlers!
There’s a lot of fun to be had in those early years and there’s no harm in having a list of amazing things to tick off.
Those first three years of a baby’s life fly by in a flash, after all, and they are the perfect time to create lasting family memories.
As my eldest recently turned three, I thought I would write a list of all the fabulous things she has already packed in to her life.
These are the 50 things to do before you’re three:
1. Have an ice cream by the sea
2. Meet Peppa Pig
3. Make a hand print
4. Build a den
5. Ride a pony
6. See a show
7. Make slime
8. Bake cupcakes (check out my cupcake recipe here)
9. Build a sand castle
10. Go on holiday
11. Visit a museum
12. Ride a boat
13. See a film
14. Go to a fairground
15. Get your face painted
16. Go trick or treating
17. Leave a carrot, mince pies and a drink out for Santa
18. Stay up late for a party
19. Throw a birthday party with all your friends
20. Make a daisy chain
21. Dress up as your favourite film/TV character
22. Make snow angels
23. Paint a picture
24. Go on a bear hunt
25. Jump in muddle puddles (wearing wellies, of course)
26. Play I-Spy
27. Play a musical instrument (even if it’s just banging a wooden spoon on a saucepan!)
28. Blow bubbles
29. Play in a paddling pool
30. Build a snow man
31. Enjoy an Easter egg hunt
32. Have a teddy bear tea party
33. Make play dough
34. Make a card for mummy or daddy
35. Put on a puppet show
36. Feed the ducks
37. Swing on a swing
38. Dip your toes in the ocean
39. Go for a picnic
40. Have a bug hunt in the garden
41. Visit a zoo
42. Play hide-and-seek
43. Plant a seed in the garden
44. Learn the words to your favourite song and sing it
45. Play in the rain
46. Put a bird feeder in the garden and watch the birds visit for a snack
47. Visit a garden centre – they have so much to look at and many have fish on show too
48. Paint some pottery
49. Visit a farm
50. Make a necklace using string and dry, uncooked pasta
I hope this list gives your toddler some inspiration! Are there any things that your toddler has enjoyed doing that aren’t on the list? I would love to hear from you.
