Funny, I made kayaks for my kids when they were 2 & 3. They are now 3 & 4. Pictured below is my 3 year old son, paddling his mini Sea Flea (with homemade greenland paddle made in 20 minutes time) along side me. He does okay, but his 4 year old sister is a challange to keep up with because she accellerates very fast and turns her kayak on a dime.

: Nobody makes kayaks for 3 year olds and therefore there are no paddles. I
: imagine it's a liability thing.
: Personally, I can't imagine there's a 3 year old that has enough
: co-ordination or muscle power to propel any kind of boat.
