5 year old baby toys: Time to get them something bigger

5 year old kids have specific choices of their own regarding what they want to play with. Gifts for children of this age should be well-chosen according to their choice. Here are some great gift ideas for boys and girls of age 5 years.

1. Doll houses - Just dolls are no longer enough for the little princesses. It is time to get them doll houses, complete with bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and kitchens. They will love playing with the dolls in their own little dreamlands. Buy wooden doll houses to ensure durability of the product.


2. Train sets/race tracks - Trains with train tracks and race car track sets are perfect gifts for boys of this age. They just love assembling the tracks and letting the cars/trains race on those. Parents should accompany the child, to make sure he is doing it the right way though. Train tracks and race tracks can get damaged pretty soon, if those are not used in the proper way. But, if done right, it can last for a few years, providing good entertainment to the child.


3. Puzzles games - These are great for kids of this age. Kids can try to solve puzzles on their own at this age, and unknowingly develop their reasoning skills in the process. Puzzles with medium sized pieces are good, so that there are a good number of pieces. That way the child will have to solve the puzzle for a long period of time, spending hours in the process.


4. Rocking horse - These are good for both boys and girls. Almost all toddlers love to travel on a set of wheels. The exercise will help in toning their limbs, and will also promote overall well-being. Toddlers don't know how much exercise is good for them though, so parental supervision is necessary to make sure that they do not overwork their growing muscles.


5. Stuffed toys - These are still great for cuddling in bed, or hugging when sad. Large sized teddy bears are the best, because children can also go to sleep with the bear in their arms. Made of non-allergenic fibers, these toys can last for years, and act as comfort toys for kids.

These gifts are great for 5-year old kids. Gift them one of these on their birthdays, or just about any occasions and see their little faces light up with joy.
