Toys? What sort of thing/character are they in to? This is one of the easiest ages to buy presents for!

Lego? Magnatiles? Craft supplies? Costumes?

Magnetic tiles were the biggest hit for my 4 year old this year. He also got a big starter lego set. He also got the You Choose Book, an umbrella and a new backpack if you want some none toy options too.

For my son’s 4th birthday, we got him Magnatiles, Lego, Playmobil and action figures from his favourite series (paw patrol, Spidey, Octonauts). We also got him a two wheeled scooter, which took a little while to practice but he quickly mastered.

My son is 90th percentile for height and only really started to be able to ride his 16 inch bike when he was 4y8m, so that might be worth considering.

If you already have magnet tiles then the marble run is a great addition. Anything remote control, football goal or other garden toys?

Schleich animals if they're into playing with that sort of thing.
