What to give a boy for 4 years?

The four-year-old is already a real man, just still very small. He can be quite reasonable, and sometimes, depending on his mood, he is quite hooligan.

The fourth birthday is very important for him, the baby already knows what this holiday is and is looking forward to it. In this article we will try to answer the question of what can be given to a boy for his holiday.

Age features

The crisis of three years, as a rule, will already pass, and by the 4th anniversary the baby comes up more calm and noticeably matured. He no longer needs constant care from mom and dad, he knows how to make some decisions himself. Now he is actively developing that sensual side of the psyche, which allows people to show empathy, understand the emotions of others, and look for an approach in communication.

The greatest pleasure for four-year-olds is given by role-playing and story-driven games, in which they invent circumstances for themselves, assign themselves to the main role and “hero” themselves from the heart. This should be taken into account when choosing a gift for your baby.

Boys at this age are usually very curious. Mothers hear the question “Why?” Dozens of times throughout the day, and this is also worth taking advantage of. Learning abilities are at their peak in the preschool period, and therefore the present should provide food for the rapidly developing brain of the child.

What toys and games will make your child happy?

Radio controlled models. Boys at the age of 4 are already actively trying on the roles of drivers, police officers, firefighters, and therefore a car or special equipment on the control panel can become a wonderful gift. By controlling a fire engine with flashing lights and sound effects, a child will be able to imagine himself as a hero-fireman, who is in a hurry to receive a call, and while piloting a radio-controlled plane - a daring pilot.

"Cool" weapon. A pistol with suction cups or a laser pistol with an interactive target will be a great gift for a child who loves to play war and police. As options, you can buy a lightsaber, a set of military equipment, a saber or a samurai sword (of course, a toy). A great gift is a bow and arrow or a crossbow.

Robots. If there are adult helpers with engineering skills in the house, you can take a robot for the kid, which you need to assemble on your own, and which can then be transformed. Four-year-old boys love interactive robots from the Poli Robocar series, as well as robots that can perform simple action algorithms - walk, shoot, run, fly. Any large children's store will present you a choice of several dozen models of various sizes, prices and functions.

Constructors. There are a great variety of them - from the Lego series to labyrinths and magnetic constructors. You should be careful with Lego - the sets contain a lot of small parts. In general, the Lego series will delight boys. PLAYMOBIL is a well-known manufacturer of magnetic construction sets; you will definitely have to buy a convenient plastic box for parts.

Creator's Kit

In addition to sketchbooks for drawing, felt-tip pens and pencils, today you can choose quite interesting gift options for a young creator - artist and sculptor:

Play-Doh plasticine factory. This is a real production where the kid can make a variety of "ice cream" with incredible decorations. Plasticine is put into the device, and the kid himself presses when it is necessary to squeeze ice cream into a glass on the conveyor. Make orange slices, waffle cups and baby confiture using special forms.
House - coloring book. A large cardboard house or medieval castle that can be painted in all colors of the rainbow. The baby can do this alone and in the company of friends. Such pleasure is not cheap (the price of some models reaches 7-8 thousand rubles), but delight is guaranteed! The largest assortment of various giant cardboard buildings and structures for any budget is offered by the manufacturer Cartonhouse.
Kinetic sand. Sets with special sand will allow you to create sand sculptures right at home. At the same time, the child will not litter, because kinetic sand is not like ordinary sand: it does not crumble, does not disintegrate into small particles, and does not get hands dirty. The largest assortment of such sets is presented by the manufacturer "Archisend".
Craft kits. There are a lot of them. You can buy a set for your child, with the help of which he will cook and form a beautiful gift soap with his own hands. You can donate a set with plaster and molds, which will make it easy to make real fridge magnets. Boys love stained glass kits.

Useful presents

If you want the gift, besides pleasure, to bring the child also practical benefits, choose educational children's interactive computers. They will help the kid to master letters and numbers as soon as possible, learn to read. And if he already knows how to do this, then you can pick up a computer that will help the boy start learning English.

Board games can be a great alternative to computer games. Buy table football or ice hockey for your child, tabletop air football, air hockey or basketball. The game develops motor skills, coordination of movements and speed of reaction, and, moreover, for all family members, because board games, as you know, unite.

For a boy who loves to sing, you can buy a karaoke kit or a children's synthesizer on which he can play a variety of sounds, and gradually learn musical notation and start playing his first melodies.

A young inquisitive why will be delighted with a children's development tablet with preinstalled programs and applications for learning, developing logic, thinking, erudition, intelligence. The most popular manufacturers are TurboKids and MonsterPad.

Developing the mind and body

A four-year-old boy will be delighted if he is presented with a bicycle, balance bike or roller skates. Do not forget to take a protection kit for the child with such a gift, because at first there will be many falls and bruises. A home trampoline will be an excellent gift for an active boy who wants to move and gets sincere pleasure from it. True, here it is important not to miscalculate with the size, so that the present is conveniently located in an apartment, in a country house or in a house, without greatly embarrassing other household members.

Gaming sports corners deserve special attention. They come in different sizes, with a different number of shells, there are all rope options, and climbing such a town will be not only pleasant, but also good for your health.

Memorable and unusual gifts

The alarm clock is a pistol. Every morning the child goes to kindergarten. And in 90% of cases, awakening a son is not easy for a mother. To make it easier for parents, you can give an alarm clock with which the baby will wake up quickly and with pleasure. It consists of a target and a laser pistol. The gun is placed under the pillow or on the bedside table. The target is hung on the opposite wall.

At the appointed time, a signal is heard, which will subside only after the child has accurately shot at the very center of the target. The first time this usually does not work, and while the baby is aiming and shooting, he finally wakes up and is completely ready to wash and get ready for kindergarten.

Interactive night light. All children's horror stories, nightmares will recede if the child falls asleep not in pitch darkness, but with an amazing night light in the shape of a house, a turtle, a caterpillar, which projects a map of the starry sky onto the ceiling. In some models of such lamps, stars and planets move in a circle. Almost all bedside lamps have a slot for a flash card, and the child can listen to favorite audio stories or quiet soothing music before bed.

Soft toys - heating pads. Bears, hares, hippo and big-eyed yu-hu will not just become friends of the child. They will warm you on a winter night in the literal sense of the word. Inside the toys are cherry pits or lavender seeds, as well as a special thermo-circuit. If the toy is put into the microwave for 3 minutes, it will keep the child warm for several hours. When warmed, the oil contained in lavender seeds will release a soothing scent. This toy will be indispensable for babies who fall asleep anxiously, as well as for boys during illness.

Ideas for loved ones

No one knows the interests of a child as well as his parents. Therefore, the most important gift is always for mom, dad, sometimes for grandparents. At 4 years old, the child has certain preferences, from which loved ones should start in choosing a presentation.

If the boy is shy, he can be presented with a tent-house, in which he can feel safe while playing. If the child is too active and mobile, parents can give him a real ATV or electric car (the price of the issue is from 6000 rubles).

A curious child can be presented with 3D puzzles, a large children's encyclopedia with three-dimensional pictures. The subject of the book depends on the interests of the son. You can take a book about dinosaurs, space, military equipment, weapons, transport, pirates and maritime history, etc.

If a boy likes to read fairy tales, then for him you can order a book in which all the stories will be about himself. A collection of fairy tales written about your child will be illustrated with his own photographs that mom and dad will send to publishers beforehand. Personalized fairy tales can be ordered on various portals on the Internet

DIY gift options

The boy will be delighted if dad will make a real kite for him, and then together with him will send him on a heavenly journey.

A mother can sew a comfortable and beautiful backpack for her son, in which he can carry his things and toys to kindergarten or for a walk.
