Birthday gifts for 4–5 year olds

Pretending to be things: superheroes, vets, princesses, builders. A Yoto or Tonies audio player is the current parent-approved insider hit — stories without a screen. Scooters are playground status.

The classic mistake: Toys pitched too old — a ' 6+' kit becomes a parent's chore. Stickers never miss.
