Need ideas (other than screen time) for 3 year old girl to entertain herself for short increments of time during the day. Shouldn't need adult involvement at all. I don't mind doing prep for activity in advance.

My 3 yr old can color by herself.
She can play magna tiles by herself.
She can play in a sandbox.
You can buy or make a water table for her.

Almost every one of her ideas are spot on, not too messy and keep kids busy for a while.

Ill also add- my 3 y.o loves puzzles. Very simple ones obviously. And kinetic sand
