Some parents get their children on skates and on the ice as soon as they are able to walk, but the ideal age to begin tot ice skating lessons is at about three or four. Some ice arenas will not accept children under three into their skating classes.

Once a child is five or six, much can be accomplished:

Parents of three and four year old ice skaters may see some marching and gliding on the ice, but complex figure skating techniques can't be mastered until a child is about five or six. There are some exceptions.

Many ice arenas offer tot ice skating lessons or "Parent and Me" ice skating classes.

Tip: Introduce very young children to skating at a roller skating rink where toddlers and preschoolers can walk on locked roller skate wheels. Children don't get wet or cold in roller skating rinks and usually don't cry even when they fall while roller skating. Once a child can roll around on roller skates, the transition to ice skates comes easily.
