Get your hands on a large box, refrigerator box size. Help her make it into a house, or whatever she wants, and help her color all over it. This is a guaranteed gold mine of fun!

Personally, your daughter won't really care what it is you do with her as long as you are spending time with her. She just wants to know you are there and that you care.
Take her to the park, read to her, draw, snuggle, play games like Cootie or a matching game. Just find out her interests/what she likes and do them with her. It may be hard in the beginning, but you both will be glad you did it.

I have a 3 year old at home. Talk to her and ask her what she wants to do. 3 year olds love to talk and I'm sure she'll give you some ideas; Take her outside. Introduce her to sports like soccer and T-ball. Play catch with her with a large beach ball. In bad weather, play preschool oriented board games. Some things not to do? probably bungee jumping and motorcycle racing are poor choices. Have fun and enjoy!

Leave it up to her. Ask her what is that she wants to do. It might be play dolls or have a tea party, but enjoy it, they are only that little once. And when they get older they don't want you to do anything with them. If she has no suggestions, take her to the park or somewhere fun that you guys can play together.

We play alot of board games, Dora candyland, seaseme street chutes and ladders, Memory ( you may need to help them a little ) and my son enjoys playing playstation with my husband, even though the controller isn't plugged in. With it being warm we go outside and have squirt gun fights and water ballon fights. My husband took our son fishing today girls my like that also. If there is a zoo close around take her there. GO on a walk, take her to a park. My husband recently took our son golfing with him, even though our son was using little tikes golf clubs and hitting a wiffle ball, but our son loved it he got to steer the golf cart and also hit his ball around the course. There are millions of things to do just see if there is something that you would like to do see if it is possible for your daughter to do it with you.

My son enjoyed cooking with me at that age.
At three they really like to feel like the are helping you out. So having her help you in little projects around the house or outside would be great one on one time.
Enjoy your time with her!

one thing my hubby and i have done that our kids love, ages 6&4 is to go outside, and have water gun fights, my smallest one, loved this, especially when we would pretend we didn't see him and let him "sneek " up on us then when he sprayed us, we squealed.
My daughter loved to play kitchen, make easy cookies, where she could help stir things in, and finger paint. We would set up a table outside so she could get as messy as she wanted to with the paints so we could squirt her with water hose to clean her up. We got the big poster board for her to fill up with color.

try to let her take in charge of a game like playing dolls, it could be just saying silly words together. all kids just need affection shown to them at any age.

Draw, read to her, take her on a picnic, teach her how to do things. Get off the computer and go interact with her.

Go for walks with her, read to her, color with her, take her swimming, cook with her, etc. Just anything she's interested in!
