This is part of my Gift Ideas for Families Series << that post has TONS of gift ideas for everyone on your list!
Best gifts for 4-year-old-girls
Pretend Play Gifts for 4-Year-Olds
4-year-olds love to do what you’re doing (even if you don’t think it sounds like much fun). A food/kitchen set will help them do lots of “big person” tasks like a grocery store, making dinner or setting up shop.
Girls sometimes need a magical place to play, think or read. A tent with sparkles does just the trick!
A doctor’s kit can be SO useful, and it can start off talks about our bodies and keeping yourself healthy too!
Motor Skills Gifts for 4-Year-Olds
Lego is always a favorite — but take it up a notch for your little girl and get one of the princess sets! Not only will her imagination run wild, she’ll love to do it with a favorite princess friend!
Pogo sticks seem fun — but can be scary if you’re not coordinated right. This one lets little kids enjoy the jumping, with less risk.
What 4-year-old doesn’t want to make their own jewelry? This fun, colorful set is perfect — PLUS putting the beads together will help important eye-hand coordination skills they need.
Or, get a building set of another variety. I like how, with this one, you use a wrench to build!
One of my favorite ways for 4-year-old motor skills is stickers. Plus, it’s stickers. I love PipSticks — it’s good quality stickers (no commercial characters) that your child can be imaginative with!
I think this projector with pre-loaded stuff for kids is AWESOME. One of the favorites at our house is the shadow puppets where they show you how to make it and then you can practice.
Plus, you can stream Amazon or Netflix to it!
Educational Gifts for 4-Year-Olds
I absolutely love Kiwi Crate. We did it when my youngest was 4 (I wish it had been around with my other 2 though). It’s great to get, and spread out through the month to learn more about the things in the kit. Kiwi Crate is a great option.
Another one, fairly similar (I prefer Kiwi Crate, but it’s a close call) is Green Kids crafts.
I think Kiwi Crate is a litle more engineering-minded, and Green Kids is a bit more science-y. Just my thoughts — if you’re trying to decide between the two.
Useful Gifts for 4-year-old girls
Socks are way more fun than they were when I was a kid. This set is perfect for an animal lover.
Or, have you seen the Squishmallows? They’re a great one to cuddle up with in bed. Or put your head on when you’re looking at a good book.
They are so cute and SOFT — awesome for a friendly 4 year old!

Cool! My daughter turns 4 in December, some of these will come in handy!
As a side note, I miss your old type of posts… lately it feels like all you post are posts designed to draw an affiliate income or sell your products. I miss hearing about your family and PTA antics, and even your monthly blog update. Just a thought from a reader who’s been here for years.

JILL, that 100% stinks. I’m trying to get up a bunch of affilite/gift-guide type posts to get ready for Christmas. They’ve all just sort of fallen together as of late. I try not to push them to readers as they’re mostly meant for Google to see… hahha.
The thing is — those types of posts just FLOP. Hahah…. but it’s good to know. I should do a bit more family updates more frequently. People on the newsletter get more insider info, I think. THanks for letting me know! 🙂
