Gift Ideas for Girls 4 To 6 Years Old

My Top 5 Birthday Christmas Gift Ideas For  Girls 4-6 Years:

I am the mother of two boys and one girl. You would think that buying gifts for my daughter would be easier, then the boys. But that is not necessary true. I find that girls are the hardest to buy for at this time of the year, but not at this age. 4 to 6 year old girls are the easiest age to buy gifts at Christmas as many of  them at this age still believe in Santa Claus or want everything that they see on Television.

But buying toys or trends may not be the best way to purchase gifts for this age. Sometimes that toys that little girl want are not always age appropriate and buying toys that are the latest trend might only be played with for a few weeks or if your lucky a few months. So what's a parent to do.

I have picked out 5 of my favorite toys for this age that will give you some ideas of toys that your daughter will love for the whole year and can also be add to next Christmas or for their birthday. Use these suggestions to create your own ideas or mix in with some of the ones that they see on Television.


1. Role Playing Outfits:

 Young girl this age love to copy their mothers or other women in they meet and role playing is a great way for them to learn about the world around them. These costume sets from Melissa and Doug allow them to dress just like their role models and not just for Halloween. These set are more for a 4 year old or younger girl. These outfits let them dress up and learn about the different types of jobs that women can hold. This will encourage them to dream about what they want to be when they grow up.


2. Pots, Pans and Play Kitchens:

 My daughters favorite gift was a toy version of my kitchen supplies. The range of pots, pans and dish set will make any little chef happy as they create their own special meal. They even have kitchen appliances that look just like the real things, some even make sounds.  There are even whole kitchen sets that can turn any space in their room or home into a ready made child's kitchen. The wide range of toy food sets can be used in both a kitchen or pretend grocery store.







3. Lego for Girls:

Lego is making sets designed just for girls to use to build and play. These sets features female mini figure and lots of basic bricks and accessories, such as plates, trees, windows, door and more. The next set up for 6 year old girls is the LEGO Friends that feature mini doll friends with all types of accessories and activities that they can create with these friends.
These set are perfect for long hour of building, creating and playing. The best part about these sets is you can add to them as your girl grows older. These are one toy that children never out grow.


4. Dolls:

Girl this age still love playing with dolls and all the accessories that go with them like stroller, cribs and high chair to feed their dolls. There are large selection to choose from every year, but my favorites are the baby dolls that are soft ones that allow this age to pretend that they are taking care of a real baby just like mommy. Little girls just seem to be drawn to that favorite doll. My daughter still has several of her doll from when she was little and many of us collect dolls as we grow up. So that first doll is something that will bring lasting memories and be cherished forever.




5. Horses :

What little girl doesn't love horses? Whether it stuffed, animated or figurines like these horse in this  stable set. Girls love to collect and play with these types of toys. The best thing about these toys is that they are not a fad or trend. These horse figurines have been around for years and are still a favorite for young girls.


These are just my suggestion of Christmas gifts ideas girls for 4 to 6 year old. I wanted to create this list to give parents, grandparents and relatives of girls this age some suggestions on what they might enjoy at this age and how to make buying that Christmas gift for that special little girl in your life a lot easier for you.
