We have shared tons of Christmas Gift ideas in the past and have a list for you today all centered around what our 5 year old loves right now. My 5 year old is a girl, but most of these would be great for a girl or a boy! Of course she also has other loves like My Little Pony, Littlest Pet Shop, and Minecraft {thanks to her big brothers}. I wanted the ideas in this post to be more for gift buying outside of the known loves and give you some different ideas!
Small Animals
We have so many of these set and my daughter plays with them all of the time! We have collected most of our sets using coupons from Michaels, getting one set at a time with their 40 or 50% off coupon. We have also gotten some from Amazon and some as gifts.
Colorful Counters
We have always had colorful counting bears but last year we did a review for Learning Resources and got a few more of these awesome sets. Just like the Safari animals above, these are a top favorite. She has several sets now and they are all mixed up in a bin together and are played with almost daily.
Playmobil
She got her first and only Playmobil sets this past year and she LOVES them. We have this one and a unicorn set in a bin which also gets tons of play. Personally, I love how little space they take up!
Gobblet Gobblers
We have had Gobblet Gobblers for years and it was a favorite of my son’s when he was this age {he still likes it now too}, and now is a favorite of Ladybug’s.
Sequence Games for Kids
We have the Sequence for Kids and she LOVES it. It is the most requested game we have. I want to get her the Letters version this year for Christmas!
PlasmaCar
PlasmaCar’s are awesome!!! We got our first one from a review years ago and have since bought a second one personally. We all use the cars and love them. We even bought one as a family gift for my husband’s sister’s family a few years ago!
