The 46 Best Toys and Gifts for 5 Year Olds
I love 5 year-olds. Kids in this age group are a lot more independent and capable while still being young and sweet. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a 5 year-old this holiday season, I’ve put together a list with everything from the best toys and craft supplies to the coziest stuffed animals and even some non-toy gifts, too. Whether you’re shopping for birthday party season, a birthday gift for your own child, or the holidays, you’re sure to find some great gift ideas in this gift guide. Here are the best toys and gifts for 5 year olds.
The Best Toys and Gifts for 5 Year Olds
Five-year-olds are so much fun. They’re curious and creative, and are likely leaning into fine motor skills and imaginative play. My 5-year-old daughter loves hands-on-play, from building forts to art supplies and dress-up. The best toys are the ones they return to again and again. I’ve been through this stage once before and am back here with my second daughter. When putting this list together, I thought about the toys my now–7-year-old still plays with, because I love a gift that lasts. Here are my favorite gifts for 5 year olds.
