These gift ideas for your 4-year-old daughter or granddaughter will be ones she really loves! Some of these gift ideas are educational, but all are fun and something she will love to play with for a while to come.
This is part of my Gift Ideas for Families Series << that post has TONS of gift ideas for everyone on your list!
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!
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.
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! 🙂
