What to Give a Child for 4 Years?

From the age of four, chil­dren con­scious­ly react to the hol­i­days. Espe­cial­ly if it’s their own birth­day. Kids can already clear­ly artic­u­late their desire for a gift and the hol­i­day itself. There­fore, the present should not be banal. A gift for a four-year-old kid should be inter­est­ing, use­ful and, most impor­tant­ly, should give the birth­day boy a lot of pos­i­tive emo­tions.

The first thing to con­sid­er when choos­ing a gift for a child is the fea­tures of his age and char­ac­ter. There is a cat­e­go­ry of gifts that are ide­al for a four-year-old child who is already going to kinder­garten. And there are presents, the pur­chase of which should be com­plete­ly aban­doned. It is much eas­i­er for par­ents to choose a gift for their baby. They see their beloved child every day, mon­i­tor its devel­op­ment and know very ll the char­ac­ter­is­tics of char­ac­ter. But oth­er rel­a­tives can some­times be very dif­fi­cult to please with a birth­day sur­prise.

By this age, chil­dren are already indif­fer­ent to those toys with which they used to play with great plea­sure. Var­i­ous rat­tles, small clock­work toys, hang­ing musi­cal carousels — all this remains in the past. Now they are much more inter­est­ed in play­ing var­i­ous pro­fes­sions and the so-called role-play­ing games. Girls mas­ter the games of doc­tor or moth­er-daugh­ter. The boys want to try on the role of a builder, a dri­ver or a trav­el­er.

In addi­tion, four-year-olds are increas­ing­ly becom­ing inter­est­ed in such games that con­tribute to the devel­op­ment of log­ic, atten­tion and think­ing. Also, child psy­chol­o­gists note the fact that it is from this age that most chil­dren begin to show their first inter­est in learn­ing and in learn­ing some­thing new, inter­est­ing. Kids strive not only for games and enter­tain­ment, but also for devel­op­ment.

Before shar­ing ideas on how to sur­prise and please chil­dren of four years old, it is worth men­tion­ing those presents that you should imme­di­ate­ly refuse. Do not give your child any item of cloth­ing as a gift. Such a present will not impress and will not please the baby at all.

You should not give jel­ry to chil­dren of this age. In addi­tion, it is worth aban­don­ing such an option as a pet. At this age, chil­dren will not yet be able to care for a pet, feed it or walk it on their own. More­over, most babies of this age per­ceive pets as a toy, which can neg­a­tive­ly affect the health of the ani­mal.

Choos­ing a present for a child is not an easy task. Some­times even par­ents find it dif­fi­cult to choose some­thing spe­cif­ic among such a vari­ety of toys.

It is quite pos­si­ble to choose a ted­dy bear or the hero of any pop­u­lar car­toon that your son or daugh­ter likes.

Also, chil­dren will be hap­py to receive not a sim­ple, but an inter­ac­tive toy. For exam­ple, it can be a cute cat that starts to purr and meow as soon as the baby touch­es it. There are oth­er options. For exam­ple, bears or dogs that sing chil­dren’s songs. With such a toy it will be not only inter­est­ing to play, but also com­fort­able to fall asleep.

Per­fect as a gift for a vari­ety of sets for games. For exam­ple, it can be a set for a lit­tle doc­tor or a hair­dress­er. Girls love to play these games. But for the boys there are oth­er inter­est­ing sets. For exam­ple, a set for a small builder or plumber.

If the child is already show­ing inter­est in music, he likes to sing or just lis­ten to music, then give him an orig­i­nal sur­prise. This could be a toy gui­tar, a com­pact drum kit, a baby piano, or a micro­phone. Thanks to this present, the child will be able to devel­op his musi­cal tal­ent.

If you have a coun­try house, then why not please your child with a per­son­al tram­po­line?

In the event that you live in an apart­ment and you have nowhere to set up a tram­po­line, give your child a tent. It can be a toy tent in the form of a house, a train or even a cas­tle. It is easy to remove if nec­es­sary, when fold­ed, it does not take up much space in the clos­et. In such a cozy house, the child will be inter­est­ed in spend­ing time. In addi­tion, if nec­es­sary, you can take such a house-tent with you if you go to vis­it your grand­moth­er for a few days or just go out of town.

Every child at the age of 4 will be hap­py to receive a per­son­al trans­port as a gift. You can choose a sta­ble scoot­er that is com­plete­ly safe for chil­dren of this age. Or you can buy a tri­cy­cle. Do not for­get to take care of pro­tec­tion as an addi­tion and buy a hel­met, knee pads, elbow pads and com­fort­able sports shoes. If pos­si­ble, you can buy an elec­tric car for your birth­day.

An orig­i­nal sur­prise for any child can be a trip to the zoo, amuse­ment park or enter­tain­ment cen­ter. Such a gift can be pre­sent­ed by rel­a­tives or acquain­tances who are invit­ed to the hol­i­day, but do not know what to give. Give par­ents a gift card or cer­tifi­cate from one of the enter­tain­ment cen­ters for a cer­tain amount, and after the cel­e­bra­tion on any day they can go there with their child and have fun.

As a result, the birth­day boy and his friends will have fun under the super­vi­sion of pro­fes­sion­als, and adults will be able to sit qui­et­ly at the table with their com­pa­ny. At the end of the hol­i­day, all guests can take part in a spe­cial pho­to ses­sion.

Many grand­par­ents want to present some­thing unusu­al, but always use­ful, as a birth­day present for their grand­son or grand­daugh­ter. There­fore, it is best to choose among edu­ca­tion­al toys. For exam­ple, it could be a toy lap­top or tablet. Edu­ca­tion­al chil­dren’s toys resem­ble real gad­gets that attract chil­dren of any age.

Most mod­ern chil­dren will be hap­py to play with the design­er. You can choose a reg­u­lar block con­struc­tor, or you can give pref­er­ence to a more mod­ern, mag­net­ic one. This game devel­ops fine motor skills and imag­i­na­tion of the child. Puz­zles can also be attrib­uted to the cat­e­go­ry of use­ful pre­sen­ta­tions. Just try not to choose options with a lot of small details. Choose puz­zles that are most suit­able for this age, giv­ing pref­er­ence to brighter and more inter­est­ing sto­ries.

Con­tin­u­ing the list of use­ful gifts, it is worth pay­ing spe­cial atten­tion to books. This is the best gift of all time for both chil­dren and adults. The main thing is to choose the appro­pri­ate option for the age of the child. Four-year-olds will be inter­est­ed in music books.

You can choose the musi­cal alpha­bet, so that the baby will learn the let­ters. Or you can opt for a ll-known and instruc­tive tale. With such a book, the child will be able not only to look at the pic­tures, but also be able to lis­ten to a song or an audio frag­ment.

It’s no secret that var­i­ous cre­ative activ­i­ties have a very pos­i­tive effect on the devel­op­ment of chil­dren. Draw­ing and mod­el­ing help devel­op motor skills and imag­i­na­tion. A great gift can be a set for cre­ativ­i­ty. Just con­sid­er the age cat­e­go­ry of the birth­day per­son and do not choose com­plex options. For exam­ple, for a four-year-old boy or girl, a sand paint­ing kit is suit­able. Every­thing you need is already in the kit, this activ­i­ty is very pop­u­lar with active chil­dren, as the sand helps them become calmer.

A set that con­tains the so-called kinet­ic sand is quite suit­able. With it, the child will be able to eas­i­ly cre­ate var­i­ous shapes. This activ­i­ty will be inter­est­ing for boys and girls. If your child loves to draw, then buy him unusu­al paints. Notice the fin­gers. Mas­ter­ing an unusu­al draw­ing tech­nique, the kid will be able to play inde­pen­dent­ly, show imag­i­na­tion and devel­op imag­i­na­tion.

Despite the fact that the child grows and matures every day, he is still a kid who enjoys spend­ing a lot of time in the sand­box. There­fore, it is quite pos­si­ble to give a four-year-old birth­day boy a good set for play­ing with sand. Such a gift can be called uni­ver­sal, as it is per­fect for both boys and girls.

For exam­ple, this is a ring toss. This game will be inter­est­ing for boys and girls. In addi­tion, you can play it not only on your own, but also in a cheer­ful com­pa­ny of friends in the yard.

Tra­di­tion­al­ly, as a gift for a girl of this age, you can choose a doll with a set of clothes or a cute baby doll that you can bathe, feed and dress.. A doll­house is also quite suit­able as a present. To date, there are a vari­ety of options for such hous­es, you can choose any, rely­ing not only on the pref­er­ences of the girl, but also on your finan­cial capa­bil­i­ties.

A boy of that age would be delight­ed to receive a rail­road as a birth­day present. There are options with a set of trains, a sta­tion, lit­tle men and trees. Such a game will be inter­est­ing to the boy even when he gets a lit­tle old­er.

Chil­dren of all ages love to draw. Some­one prefers to draw with felt-tip pens or crayons, and some­one prefers paints. In any case, the child will be hap­py with such a gift as a chil­dren’s easel. This item is a dou­ble-sided board, on one side of which you can draw with chalk, and on the oth­er with a mark­er or felt-tip pen. In addi­tion, one side is mag­net­ic, so you can eas­i­ly attach a sheet of paper and draw with pen­cils or paints.. As a rule, such easels have a small shelf below, where it is con­ve­nient to put pen­cils and you can place a glass of water in a spe­cial cell.
