It’s hard to imagine, because it feels like time has sped up, but we’re already entering the holiday season. Every year we promise we’re going to get a jump on our holiday shopping early — we hate that last-minute scramble every year — and if that’s something you’re struggling with, we’re here to help.
Whether you’re shopping for your kids, niece, nephew, nibling, or another kid in your life, there are so many gift ideas it can be hard to narrow it all down. Of course, we all want to be able to give our loved ones something that makes them smile this year. But, goodness knows we could all use a little extra magic.
For those of you who have kids between the ages of 5 and 7 – that fun age where toys are so loved – we’ve got a list of this year’s hottest toys perfect for this age group.
Please sit back, scroll through, and let us help ease the holiday stress this year with these gifts perfect for little kids.
Little Biscuits Dress Me Notepad
$16
from
Little Biscuits
Kids at this age are getting good at those fine motor movements, and the artists really start to break out of their shells. This sketch pad comes filled with high-quality thick paper with printed-on illustrations of kids in blank clothes for any little artist to imaginatively fill out. We especially love the diverse options of kids to choose from and think this would make an amazing stocking stuffer.
Kinetic Sand Sandisfactory Set
There is something about playing with different textures and building things with their hands that get 5- to 7-year-olds really excited. This kinetic sand allows them to use that creativity to build fun shapes and use a variety of tools to really make it super fun for the young ones. Also, bonus points for parents because this sand is easy to clean up — unlike the real stuff.
Little People, Big Dreams Treasury
This gorgeously hard-bound collection combines 50 of the most popular dreamers that are part of the Little People Big Dreams series. Intended for an older audience than the toddler crowd, the stories have additional facts, details and timelines added to them and include notable people such as Frida Kahlo, Coco Chanel, Maya Angelou, Amelia Earhart, David Attenborough, Greta Thunberg, Elton John, John Lennon, Malala Yousafzai, Mindy Kaling, and Prince.
Remote Control Batmobile
There's something about the Batman franchise that’s so perfect for this age group. It’s when they get super excited about their favorite characters, and this toy is so much fun for small Batman fans. It’s an easy-to-use all-terrain remote control Batmobile and kids can play with it indoors or outside.
Barbie Tie-Dye Deluxe 22-Piece Styling Head
We used to love playing with Barbie dolls as a kid, and our children have so many more options! This fun styling doll allows kids who are interested in hairstyling to practice their styling without having to figure it out on their own heads — or their younger siblings. This comes with 22 different pieces, so there’s endless fun to be had.
Paw Patrol Transforming Ultimate City Movie Tower
This was a really exciting year for kids who love the Paw Patrol franchise. Not only was there a new movie out (and it was really good, even for the parents), but with a new film comes new toys. And this 3-foot-tall Ultimate Movie Tower (that comes with all their favorite Paw Patrol characters) will be hours and hours of fun for the pup fans.
