Number 3 activities for toddlers: snack, play, book and free printable

Three is everywhere once you start looking: three meals a day, three wheels on a trike, three bears in the story. At ages 2 to 4 the goal isn't writing the number. It's counting one, two, three and knowing that three is one more than two.

Here's everything we use for the number 3, all in one place. Pick one or two, or spread them across a week.

Watch
