10 Awesome Birthday Gift Ideas for a 4 year old

Next up in my party series? Gift ideas for a 4 year old!

In her four years on the planet, my oldest kid has been invited to more birthday parties than I can count.  We are shopping for birthday gifts practically all the time.

At her age, it’s pretty easy if you know the kid well.  They have established tastes and preferences and you pretty much can’t go wrong with a character from their favorite movie or show.

Problem is, half of these parties are for kids from her school, who I don’t know the first thing about.  So instead of spending time hanging out in the toy aisle of Target, I’m creating yet another super, easy shopping list!  Since Amazon Prime is my BFF I can have these at my door in two days!   Hopefully you will find this list useful too!

Slime

You literally can’t go wrong with slime.  Kids these days are obsessed with it.  This starter kit makes it super easy to DIY and is sure to be a hit with any four year old!

Craft Kits

Anything where they can decorate or have hands on fun is sure to be a hit with kids this age!  We love a good craft kit and these Melisa and Doug kits are the best!

Binoculars

Kids this age are naturally inquisitive.  They enjoy looking at the world and notice the details we so often miss.  These adorable binoculars give the the chance to get an even closer look while engaging their natural curiosity!

Camera

Encourage their inner shutterbug by getting them their first camera! This kid friendly camera is durable and takes real pictures! Let them capture their world from their perspective!

Board Game

You can’t lose with a silly board game! This board game is pretty easy for independent play, or can be played with the whole family for lots of laughs!

 

Fairy Garden Kit

This adorable kid encourages their imagination and fosters their green thumb.  It’s a great activity to do as a family and sure to be a well received gift!

Math Puzzle

This little toy serves a bunch of different purposes.  It teaches numbers, counting, sorting, and more.  It’s a fun toy with an educational use!

 

Bike

At 4 years old, most kids are ready to graduate from the tricycle and start with a bike with training wheels.  This makes a great “big kid” gift that they are sure to be excited about!

Bubble Gun

This is one of my favorite gift ideas for a 4 year old! Bubbles by themselves are lots of fun!  Add a bubble gun and you’ve got a full on party!  These toys are so much fun and provide hours of entertainment!

Magnetic Drawing Board

This board is the Etch-A-Sketch of a new world.  It works the same way but can now change colors which adds a whole new element of fun!  This is the perfect gift for kiddos who travel and need something fun to do in the car!
