You’ve got a little girl’s birthday coming up, but what do you get her? Let’s have a look at some options for birthday presents for girls starting from age 1.
Birthday presents for a 1-year-old girl
In their first year, children are starting to master skills. You can help your little girl discover motor skills with push-and-pull toys or activities such as stacking. Entertain her with colourful puzzles or introduce a soft toy to encourage emotional awareness. She’s starting to move around – so any toy that encourages physical progress is great at this age. Browse puzzles, soft toys, and lego.
Birthday presents for a 2-year-old girl
Children start to explore their imagination at age 2. Pretend play toys are perfect for this age. Get her moving around and support fine motor skill development through pretend play. We’ve got a collection of active play toys for girls, such as dolls and prams, toys for the kitchen, doll stroller and many more.
Birthday presents for a 3-year-old girl
Between the ages of three and four, promote self-expression and self-confidence with toys such as role-play and arts and crafts. She’s starting to develop her balance and coordination and use her senses. You could start a bigger project such as a dollhouse set that can be built upon in later years. Browse our arts and crafts and dress up costume collection.
Birthday presents for a 4-year-old girl
Nearly ready for school, give her a toy that will activate her creativity and set the foundation for starting to write. You could start to get her excited and give her a backpack or a pencil case. An age-appropriate puzzle is a great gift idea for a four-year-old girl.
Birthday presents for a 5-year-old girl
Age five is a big year for your child. She’s now at school and she’s constantly stimulated by her new surroundings – her classmates and her learning. Give your five-year-old girl a gift to suit her flourishing curiosity. This could be a learning mat, new things to add to her dollhouse, or a detailed floor puzzle. View our range of wooden toys suited for floor play.
Birthday presents for a 6-year-old girl
Games are a favourite with six-year-old girls. They are starting to enjoy more adult games. She is beginning to find stimulation in puppets, jigsaws, art activities and play sets. Check out this gorgeous beauty set or this mermaid doll craft kit if you’re looking for ideas.
Present your seven-year-old girl with an engaging board game, new art supplies or a day outdoors. She’s gaining more independence, so outdoor games are great for this age. Treasure hunt games encourage imagination and outdoor play. Browse our outdoor toys.
Birthday presents for an 8-year-old+ girl
At eight years old and above, children have developed their fine motor skills and understand games and arts. You can start theming your gifts – crafts, puzzles and games are the perfect place to start. At age seven, she probably has a favourite character that you could base your theme around. Visit our character toys section for themed toys such as Barbie, fairies, and Disney toys.
Of course these are based on typical stages of a child’s life. When selecting presents for little girls’ birthdays you need to think about what stage of their life they’re at and if you can find out more specifically what they’re into, even better!
