Fourth Birthday Gifts Australia

What do you get for someone who is 4 years old? Four year olds enjoy imagination and pretend games, and are very active.

Safety is less an issue with toys for four year olds - they can usually be trusted with toys with small parts - if in doubt, check with their parents - but be wary of sharp objects. Rounded corners are still a good idea. Tricycles and similar toys should be designed for their age and size.

Suggestions: Pretend toys like animals, cars, trucks, dress-ups and house toys. Creative four year olds like to draw and play simple musical instruments. Toys that encourage color, size and shape identification and hand-eye coordination are popular. Sturdy pedal-cars, tricycles and riding toys are popular but check for quality and safety. Board games and simple books are good to develop language, logic and social skills.
