Do you know what gift to get the child under five in your life?
If not, then this post is bursting with ideas. We take a look at some of the most popular children’s gift ideas right now so you know what to buy when their birthday or a special occasion comes around.
Magna-Tiles
One option is to get them a Magna-Tiles construction set, especially if they like using blocks. This toy is like the next level up and helps them be creative while also learning how things like gravity work.
Kids like Magna-Tiles because they force them to develop their fine motor skills. By the time they’re four or five, they should be much more deft than they were when they were 1 or 2.
Mindware Dinosaur Eggs
Another idea is to get them Mindware Dinosaur Eggs. This is essentially a kit that comes with 12 clay eggs and various dinosaur figures.
The idea behind the toy is quite simple. Kids start by soaking the eggs and then dig into them to find the dinosaurs inside.
It’s a fun concept, and quite messy, but it also introduces children to the concept of paleontology. The idea that you can just dig into clay and find evidence of ancient dinosaurs roaming the Earth is quite remarkable.
Squishmallows Plush Toys
Of course, if you just wanted to get your kid something simple, you could opt for Squishmallows plus toys. These are essentially an assortment of unique, fluffy animals that are great when children want something to hug.
We like to use them around nap time to encourage children to flop off and fall asleep. However, you can benefit from them at any time of the day, and could even use them to decorate your child’s room.
Playful Deluxe Cooking Kit
If you want to get your child interested in what happens in the kitchen, you could also look into the Playful Deluxe Cooking Kit. This cooking kit is eco-friendly and prepares your kid for a lifetime of being their own chef instead of relying on take-out all the time.
Part of the reason why this kit is so popular is that it teaches responsibility. It also has a shallow learning curve, so almost any child can pick it up and run with it.
Water Wow! Activity Book
If your child is more cerebral, you might want to get them a Water Wow! activity book. These are mess-free (which is nice if you want to avoid clearing up all the time), and reusable. The idea is to use a water-filled pen to reveal images on the pages, which you can then wash off for another round of coloring.
Micro Scooter
Finally, you might want to get your child a micro scooter. These foldable toys are ideal for kids and for promoting balance and coordination. It can be a great introduction if you want your child to eventually be able to ride a bicycle. Scooters are surprisingly high-quality these days so they should last a long time.
