I think I'd love if LO received a few more advanced puzzles and board games this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2755072 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 10:32:39 +0000 mediagirl 2755072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Games. Age 4 game of the year was Sequence for Kids. 4 year olds can play it well and the adults enjoy it, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2755068 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 10:22:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2755068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Four year old was also the start of early reader books. It was when she really wanted to transition into longer story books and books she can start to learn to read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2755014 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 08:29:59 +0000 matador84 2755014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to do themes--for summer birthdays outdoor toys! Chalk sets, pool toys, cute hats, etc.</p> <p>Lately I have been doing games though--zingo sight words is a great 4 year old game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754979 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 07:56:14 +0000 looch 2754979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to gift art supplies or craft kits. I've also given games, like Spot It. Another favorite is those Story Cards and Story Cubes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754957 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 07:20:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2754957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Games seem like a winner! Thanks for the ideas so far. </p> <p>@PinkElephant: I know my daughter could tell me more specifics but sometimes I just want to streamline and take the thought out of it- as terrible as that sounds! But to be fair I put No Gifts on her bday invite so other parents don't have to worry about it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754955 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 07:13:02 +0000 bushelandapeck 2754955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costumes, lego sets, crafting sets. I don't have one specific go-to but I tend to rotate between those depending on the child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754938 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 06:25:06 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2754938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The My First Garden kit from Miracle Gro is really cute. My daughter got it and loved it. They paint the outside and then plant seeds for a few veggies. It's only $15 at Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754934 Wed, 05 Jul 2017 05:03:02 +0000 Alba4 2754934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second games: Uno, Richard Scary's Busytown game, Hungry Hungry Hippos (if there is no younger sibling).</p> <p>I've also purchased jewelry kits from Melissa and Doug for the girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754905 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 21:07:07 +0000 Kemma 2754905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costumes or dress up supplies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754895 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 20:15:06 +0000 PinkElephant 2754895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 my daughter was generally able to tell me what her classmates were into (and be correct), so I tried to go with that. </p> <p>If you're looking for an "across the board" sort of gift that works regardless of interests or gender, I really like board games. Shelby's Snack Shack is a favorite in our house, along with Pengoloo (but my DDs like dogs &amp; penguins). We just got Yeti In My Spaghetti from a classmate, and that's a fun and fast game that both my 3 and 5 year old can play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/go-to-4-year-old-bday-gift#post-2754893 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 20:06:51 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2754893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love easy crafts.

We have a few summer birthdays coming up! </p>
