What to Look for in Gifts for 4-Year-Old Girls
Shopping for a 4-year-old girl can be a lot of fun. This is an exciting time in their lives as they are reaching many different milestones, and Kindergarten is not too far off in the future. Sometimes there are so many different things to shop for you just do not know where to start!
You can start by focusing on toys that further help their development. The good news is that most toys made for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers focus on different developmental milestones that children should be meeting and hopefully exceeding.
Developmental milestones are broken down into 4 categories:
- Social and Emotional
- Language and Communication
- Cognitive (problem-solving, thinking, and learning)
- Movement and Physical Development
Each of these categories has different milestones that children should meet in the 4th year according to the CDC. For instance, a child should be able to cut with scissors, catch a ball, start to write some of the capital letters, names, colors, and numbers, understand time, tell stories, say simple poems and songs from memory (jingle bells, twinkle twinkle little star), know the difference between real and make-believe, pretend to be mom or dad and wants to socialize with others.
When shopping for toys, you can keep those things in mind. However, at 4 years old, they will start to have a distinctive personality that is who they are, not who their parents are. You should also keep this in mind while choosing a gift.
For instance, think about the things they like to do. Do they like to draw? Are they active in sports or outside play? How do they feel about dolls, cars, or robots? Do they like to play dress-up?
Finally, you can also buy things that are not toys. This could include clothing, jewelry, and accessories, décor for their room, and books.
