It seems like just yesterday your little girl was a toddler, and now she’s a 5-year-old. How do you find a gift for a little one who is constantly changing? In the blink of an eye, she’s hitting all sorts of different developmental milestones. Showing more independence, carrying on more meaningful conversations, and copying shapes better than she ever has before. One of the best ways to encourage her to learn, explore, and create is through something most 5-year-olds love to do: play.

Toys and games that are educational or just downright fun can help your little girl build social, emotional, and critical thinking skills. The best gifts for this age group are all about keeping her stimulated, active, and imaginative. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that these interactive play things can keep her away from the screen for longer.

We’ve curated the following list of the best gifts for 5-year-old girls, so you can meet her where she’s at developmentally and foster her budding mind. From magnetic stacking tiles to Lego sets and soft plushies, you’ll be sure to find a gift for your tot that she can get use out of for years to come.

Hover-1 My First Hoverboard

 

My First Hoverboard

 

Look, as an adult, it is very natural to be extremely jealous of the fact that kids today have hoverboards when it’s literally all we ever wanted.

For the Fort Builder

Uncommon Goods Starry Night Air Fort

The Perfect Dress

Sequined Tulle Dress with Balloon Sleeves

 

Sequined Tulle Dress with Balloon Sleeves

 

Honestly, it’s giving Glinda the Good Witch and we are extremely here for it. Sure, giving clothes to a child is a risky move — they want toys — but considering this is basically an IRL princess dress we think it’s a safe bet. Also *gestures madly at the dress; passes out from cuteness*.
