I posted walkie talkies on another thread about gifts. Adding it here too, esp if they have a sibling. My boys are having so much fun with theirs right now.

My niece is turning 4 - I'm getting her feathers, pom poms, and rhinestones.

If I know they aren't into LEGO as much, I've lately been gifting craft kits. Tulip makes good tie-dye kits, or else your local Michaels will have a range you can browse through.


The age pretty much looks like 7 plus for these, though.

Again, the ages I am shopping for are 4,4,4,3.

Legos seem like a good idea though. And no, I am not buying a cutesy craft kit for the girl and legos for the boys. That's so messed up. Even my Amazon search for Legos was annoying - it autopopulated legos for girls or legos for boys. Ick.

Not sure why everyone loves stop rockets - I got some for my nephews, and they were fun for a day but then quickly got boring.


Not all kids are into LEGO, I didn't say you have to get craft/ activity kits for the girls, but I like to try to pick a present based on what the kid likes (my kid will tell me)
LEGO creator is good too, also LEGO juniors. The age range is only a suggested guideline; my 5yo can easily do the Technic sets. Always good to get them something that challenges them rather than something they'll bore of easily.

To clarify, the kids are turning 5, 5, 5, 4. They are currently 4, 4, 4, 3
