The best sex education books for 3 year olds


On this page, you will find a list of sex education books for 3 year olds, which means that… yes, you can start sex education this young (if not earlier).
Now, before you start to panic and think that your 3 year old is too young for the birds and bees or the facts of life, you can relax. Because none, yes I mean NONE, of these books actually talk about sexual intercourse!
Sex education in the early years isn’t about sex at all. It is about other things. If you want to know more about what sex education should look like, then watch the video in this blogpost about sex education in the home.
So you will find sex education books for 3 year olds in this list about naming the private parts of the body. Books that talk about diversity in families and in children, and that everyone is different and that’s okay. Books about body safety and the foundations for protecting children from sexual abuse. Books about pregnancy and age-appropriate information about where babies come from (inside mummy’s uterus). Books about lots of relevant stuff that 3 year olds do need to know about.
If you’re looking for a book for a different age child, look at my lists of age-specific sex education books for kids. If you find this list overwhelming, have a look at my favourite sex education for kids, as these are the books I am always recommending to parents.
You’ll find more information about sex education in my Sex Education 101 page. And if you’re a little unsure about what to talk about, then have a look at my age-specific guide to sex education.
Let’s get started!
