The first two things are in high demand and she seems fairly excited about the brother too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2736063 Mon, 15 May 2017 11:48:37 +0000 tlynne 2736063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 got a Razor 4 wheeler (electric) and a new scooter. We didn't do a party because he wouldn't have been able to handle it this year (I'm hoping for one for his sixth birthday). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2736038 Mon, 15 May 2017 11:16:00 +0000 KayKay 2736038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a party and then got her a couple smaller gifts -- an analog watch, some books, and a fishing pole. She had been asking for that since we moved closer to the lakes!</p> <p>Other things on her list: roller blades, stomp rocket, a basketball, running shorts, yoga pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2736033 Mon, 15 May 2017 11:10:42 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2736033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: My 4.5 year old got this for Christmas and he still loves playing with it! So you might have at least 5.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735874 Mon, 15 May 2017 04:10:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2735874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For some reason, I associate turning 5 as a big birthday. This will be the first year she'll have a party with friends :happy: We're having it at an indoor play space. It comes with food and decorations, so it's really parent-friendly :grin: </p> <p>On her actual birthday, we're spending 2 nights at her favorite waterpark and I also scored a deal on a retired Lego set (the character shares her name). </p> <p>@mediagirl: She totally forgot about that ice cream truck. Thank goodness! Haha.<br /> [attach=1448/17/opzlhy.600x600.lego.jpg]</p> <p>Eta: She's younger than the recommended age, but she's pretty good with Legos and we like helping her out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735684 Sun, 14 May 2017 08:27:21 +0000 MamaCate 2735684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A party at one of those inflatable jumping places and a "big kid" bike with training wheels! I think maybe one or two little things too that she could unwrap but those were the exciting ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735670 Sat, 13 May 2017 23:43:41 +0000 FannyMae 2735670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine turned 5 today :D her present was a my little pony runway toy, which she had been eyeing off for ages. she had a big 5th birthday bash yesterday with all her cousins and friends, and she also got a hatchimal from her uncle, and some toys including puzzles, a tea set, lego and some clothes.</p> <p>we are taking her to TGI Friday's for dinner tonight, which is becoming a tradition (I also have a 2 for 1 offer so bonus for us!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735615 Sat, 13 May 2017 12:58:35 +0000 bhbee 2735615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Micro maxi scooter. 2yo got a scooter too (close bdays) which was part of motivation but she loves it and I find it much easier than her bike where she needs more help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735594 Sat, 13 May 2017 10:01:08 +0000 Pancakes 2735594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took her to brunch at the American Girl store and she got to pick something out for her doll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2735588 Sat, 13 May 2017 09:23:15 +0000 Finfan 2735588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She has been requesting a Cece doll from Doc McStuffins for months now. I can't imagine she will play with it for long though so IDK? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2734985 Thu, 11 May 2017 20:46:45 +0000 yin 2734985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO asked for a Melissa and Doug ice cream set, and that's what he got! It didn't even require me to go to the store because I had scored it for a good price and was stashed in my gift pile. I also bought him a book to go along with the set. We keep presents low key since he gets so many from family and friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2734818 Thu, 11 May 2017 17:06:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2734818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took a trip to the mall of America to go to nickelodeon universe!

He loves it and still plays with it 6 months later! :) It's huge and takes up a lot of space, but it's a lot of fun and a great way to keep all of his cars organized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-did-you-give-your-5-year-old-for-their-birthday#post-2734671 Thu, 11 May 2017 14:30:28 +0000 skipra 2734671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He hasn't had his birthday yet but I bought him the Hot Wheels ultimate garage when it was super on sale after Christmas.
