A few thoughts:

- Stay away from bobskates, they are useless
- Ideally if you can stay away from the chairs or things they lean on (too bent over) that would be helpful...getting them away from those things is difficult. This is a tricky one though, not sure the best solution
- At 3 years it's fun to just get them on the ice and them wanting to have fun doing it
- Age 4 you could start doing some skating programs (CanSkate, City of Calgary, etc)
