[For 3-Year-Olds] Recommended Picture Books for Spring | Exciting and Thrilling Reads

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Three-year-olds moving up to the preschool class are about to have so many new experiences.

They must be feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as the new school year starts in April.

As teachers, we want to be there to support those feelings.

Storytime is a precious moment when teachers and children can share the same world.

Children’s comments often surprise and enlighten us, don’t they?

Here are some picture books we’d love to enjoy with a class of three-year-olds in spring.

They’re perfect for this stage, when children are gradually learning to enjoy stories.

Be sure to read lots of picture books together!

When you say to a two-year-old, “Let’s tidy up,” do you ever get a firm “No!” in response? Of course they still want to keep playing… Repeating the reminder every time can be exhausting for both of you.

That’s when I recommend the picture book “Let’s Go Home.” It reframes putting toys away as “going home” and gently speaks to children with that wording.

It’s full of ideas for how to talk to kids, making it a wonderful book I hope you’ll read at daycare or at home.
