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.

“Dandelion,” a picture book that carefully and lovingly depicts the dandelions we often see in March.
It shows in detail how these familiar flowers bloom and how they turn into fluffy seed heads, tracing the entire life of a dandelion with great care.
Because dandelions are so familiar, children are naturally drawn in, and after reading, they’ll want to head out and look for real ones.
Through this book, you can sow seeds of curiosity and enjoy seeing how each child nurtures those seeds in their own way.
Give it a read!
In conclusion
We introduced spring picture books that are perfect for reading with three-year-olds.
Three-year-olds are growing rapidly in both mind and body, and they’ll continue to develop even more from here.
By reading picture books together, we can spend time supporting children’s feelings.
Spring is full of new experiences.
Let’s create peaceful moments for them through picture books.
