present for five year old girl

[flower11]

What are your five year olds playing with? Dd is five in October so have birthday and christmas to cover. So far I have got her a couple of lego sets, Moana and cinderella.

Puppy and kitty surprise are quite popular here, as are board games such as ker plunk etc. We got dd a Hatchimal for her fifth birthday after being begged for it for weeks, surprise suprise the novelty wore off and now it doesnt get played with.

Anything craft related always a winner though.

Lol dolls

Hi, my daughter is 5 (due to turn 6 in Jan) and for Christmas this year, we will be buying her a balance scooter (the 2 wheel ones) and most probably, a Hatchimal (although I fear that will be a real waste of money). Currently, she enjoys scooting, drawing, playing on her tablet (we got her the amazon fire from John Lewis which is a real bargin) and for her 5th birthday, we bought her a body board and wet suit which she loved. Her birthday is in Jan so we always buy a couple of summer toys for her xx

I am getting my similar aged dd a cd player and wireless headphones for her bedroom. She loves to sing and dance so hopefully it will be well recieved!

DD will be 5 at christmas - she loves moana and paw patrol currently. Some hits on her birthday.

Busy books - currently loves the moana and trolls ones. Great value at £5 each. Includes 12 little figures and playmat inside a book.

Anything unicorn - tshirts, snow globe, cuddly toys, books she's obsessed!

Amazon fire tablet - has a strict time limit on it - I love the parental controls and the wide selection of free games. (Current favourites crossy road and kitty meow meow)

Nintendo ds - plays on her sisters so have got her her own 2ds for christmas. She likes warioware, nintendogs, I did it mum, sonic the hedgehog.

Art tray - its about £10 from argos and comes with loads of arts and crafts but she loves the tray it's been used daily for over a year - she does colouring, lego, has her snack on it if we are watching a film, plays with her figures. Well worth the money!

Mashems - great stocking filler she loves playing with them.

Hatchimal mini ones - little figures inside eggs you have to warm up to hatch.

Build a bear - loves going in there we have several bears makes a nice experience type gift if u have gift cards.

China tea set - loves a tea party with all the teddies!

Photo album with pictures of her as a baby - loves looking through them so this year will do her her own photo book.

Disney store mini animator cases - they do all different characters including moana (am buying for christmas) comes with the doll, their animal friend and accessories. She has tinkerbell, lilo, elsa and anna.

Games - she loves playing games. Some favourites game of life junior, bugs in the kitchen, monopoly junior, Camelion crunch.

If you are after a family type gift dd loves playing the wii (old one) she likes just dance juniors/disney, super smash bros, mario party, warioware. We play all those together as a family and all enjoy them!

Thanks for the suggestions. Thankfully she hasn't shown any interest in hatchimals. She wants a bushbaby, at least they are cheaper! .

She likes art and craft and we don't do enough. I have just ordered a load of pony and unicorn craft from baker Ross!

I think i will get her more moana things the busy book and will look at the animator sets. She likes her disney princess

Playmobil

Shopkins and My Little Pony are very popular with my DD and her friends.

Last year we got my 5 year old a microphone and stand that plays music via a mp3 or phone. She really loves that along with Sylvanians and anything Barbie. Oh also smiggle or any pretty stationery.

My DD will be 5 in December,
This is my current list to be split between both bday and Christmas.
*barbie sisters set
*barbie car (that seats 4)
*barbie house
*bike
*unicorn craft set
*our generation doll
*baby Annabel outfit
*monopoly junior
*cd and cd player
*tiny treasure cot
*make up set
*mermaid blanket

As you can see my dd loves dolls and Barbies xx

Guess who is popular here and the magic tooth fairy game.

Big hit was taking pics of her favourite toy and getting a photo mug made of them.

Watching with interest as DS will be 5 in January...

OP I'm guessing your DD is starting school in September? I'd hang fire on buying gifts for now as school is bound to influence her a bit? My DS is currently still in to paw patrol but I suspect it will fall by the wayside soon!

Lego and playmobil are safe bets for us.

Yes I think school will influence her. They all seem to be into shop kind and all things collectable. I have brought her big girl lego as she has been playing with her little brothers duplo. I started the thread because I was worried about her toys being too babyish.

Oops my phone auto corrected shopkin

My 5yr old ds recently got magformers for his birthday and is loving them (as are his siblings, 6.5 and 2.5). They're a nice change from Lego.

I would second Magformers. We bought DS1 (then, just turning 4) a set last Christmas. We have since added a remote control set and another basic set. He loves them, but so too does DS2 (nearly2), and au think they have a lot of play left in them.

As long as she likes them I wouldn't worry if they are babyish. My dd1 is nearly 9 and still plays with the happyland even though the box says 1.5-5 yrs. My dds haven't been overly influenced by school, they do like the keyrings on their bags (especially the ty beanie boo ones) and a new lunch box/bag in their favourite character. Character.com is good as they are pretty cheap and good quality 😀
