What kind of activities is good for a 3 year old?

I have a 3 year old son who has a lot of energy, we want to get him into some kind of organized activity but not to sure if there is anything he can do at his age.

What can I do next?

Summary

There are so many activities that a 3 year old can do, such as toddler soccer, gymnastic, swimming, etc. Read the article for other moms' suggestions.

Soccer, soccer, soccer- At that age they just get to run and try to stay somewhat on the field. If he is high energy, this is the sport for him!

Gymnastics would be great to start at this age. I have a 2 year old and am thinking of enrolling her in a class. She loves to jump and climb.

Soccer just ended for the little guys but Wee Ball (Tee Ball) is starting soon go to the YMCA to sign him up. If you have any more questions let me know. I have a 3 year old and a 2 month old son myself.

Group:Soccer, T-ball, basketball- CYO
Individual- Karate, Gymastics, swimming
I'm a black belt at American Karate School. I am not active right now b/c of the children but I love it there. The instructor/owner is a woman with lots of patient.
I see you are from Corpus so that doesn't help but you can check out some in your area.

Soccer Tots is your answer. They are family friendly and they take children 3 and up. This will allow him to have a positive environment to burn off his energy but it will show him teamworking skills as well.

Good luck

My 3 year old is in Tae Kwon Do. It allows him to burn his energy (he is VERY energetic), and it teaches him to focus that energy into something. 3 days a week he gets to go do stuff with other little ones.

The corpus christi athletic club has tae kwon do classes that start that young. they are on tues/thurs @ 5:30 (i think, make sure they havent changed the time). the instructor is soooo good with little kids. at that age there are no compitions they have to go to etc. my daughter (11) got her black belt a year ago from taking classes there. You can take him up there to try a class and see if he/you like it. I can't say enough about the respect they learn from martial arts.

I would check out your local YMCA. A lot of the Y's have sports that start at 3. Good luck!!! :)

Have you tried Gymboree. I had my daughter in that for a long time. Now I have her in Top Notch Learning in dripping Springs. Its 1 hr preschool 2 times a week. Then I also have her in Gymnastics and Horse Back riding and she will be 3 in Aug. Look at Gymboree or My Gym... Both my daughter LOVED..
