Choosing a gift for a young child is a task that has never been easy. Many children of this age are quite capricious and will immediately show their disappointment if adults do not guess with the gift. It is not so easy to please a four-year-old baby, but it is still possible - if the donor treats the task with due diligence. After reading this article, you will find out what to give a girl for 4 years.
What to consider: age features
The difficulty in choosing a gift for four years lies in the fact that the birthday girl is already a person, but at the same time radically different from adults. Many adults simply no longer remember what they wanted at that age. In addition, the world around and the needs of children in it is constantly changing, which is also worth considering.
Today, a four-year-old girl probably already has some of her hobbies, she has some dreams and wishes. Ideally, just do them. At this stage of her life, she already understands her difference from boys, she has, albeit childish, but still female interests, she wants to be like her mother, beautiful adult aunts and princesses from cartoons - all this can push the idea of a gift.
The child is already quite social - the baby has girlfriends, so it is already important to give toys or games that require the obligatory participation of several people.
The best toys and books
At such a young age, toys are very relevant. The most common option is a doll. Try not to be banal - for example, Barbie, considered a stereotypical ideal of a doll, already loses in popularity to rivals in many ways Bratz... In addition, present a large dollhouse with utensils - this will make the game much more realistic and interesting.
Themed sets will also be a good gift option, allowing you to try yourself as a representative of one or another adult profession. For girls, doctor's kits are very relevant, which help to feel useful by "treating" family members and dolls. Such a gift teaches a child not to be afraid of real doctors. From the sets, the baby will also like children's dishes.
If we talk about books, then fairy tales will be the most interesting. Regardless of the content, stimulate the girl's interest in picking up the book on her own. To do this, choose editions with bright, beautiful illustrations.
Accessories and jewelry for the little lady
Any woman wants to be beautiful and imitates the generally recognized ideals of beauty, but it is in the preschool age that this is most clearly expressed. A four-year-old child enthusiastically plays with his mother's cosmetics and jewelry, you can play along with him.
The main gift of this kind is a set of children's cosmetics, where all the recipes are selected in such a way as to be completely safe for the child. The girl will also be very happy with the children's purse presented to her, where you can put the same cosmetics. If finances permit, another option is possible. A beautiful dress or (as a budget option) a photo session in the image of a princess will make a good impression on the birthday girl. You can complement the image with children's jewelry - for example, earrings.
Often at this age, real jewelry is already presented. Such a gift is acceptable - the hero of the occasion already understands its value, but this is more "for growth."
Useful presents
Thanks to games and entertainment, the child not only kills time, but also develops - this means that you can encourage certain areas of development by choosing the right gifts. At four years of age, any gifts for creativity are useful, because an ordinary drawing kit develops imagination and spatial thinking, and simple plasticine also improves fine motor skills of the hands. Puzzles and mosaics are also here.
At the age of four, perseverance and calmness are characteristic only of individual children, so gifts for sports are unlikely to stand idle. In addition, exercise strengthens the musculoskeletal system, so think about how to further encourage the baby to do such actions. The ball is very useful for physical health and communication, because playing it is much better not alone, but in a company. A trampoline is perfect for home use, because all children, without exception, love to jump - and so sofas and beds will be safe, like the child himself.
Transport
The most popular form of transport for a four-year-old girl is an ordinary tricycle. In principle, children like to move, and an unusual way of movement will certainly interest the child.
Taking into account the peculiarities of our climate, sledges will also be appropriate, giving the sensation of speed adored by kids, but they should only be given if the weather outside the window favors an immediate test of the presentation. Among other common gifts of this type, it is worth highlighting a scooter, skates and rollers, but for the latter two, it is probably still too early - unless mom and dad themselves are lovers of such a holiday.
An alternative is self-propelled transport - an electric vehicle. True, her parents control it, but the girl will still be delighted. But the gyroboards popular in the last couple of years are still too early to give.
Is it worth giving money?
When guests do not know what to give to the birthday boy, they often get out of the situation by giving him money - let him buy whatever he wants with it. Remember, this option does not work at all in the case of a four-year-old.
Of course, parents, having received the donated funds, can really spend them on the implementation of the baby's wishes, but there is one "but": children of this age have a very short memory, they will not remember that this gift is from you, and will be grateful for it to those who who handed it over.
You will find yourself in an unpleasant situation, because the child will think that you have not given him anything. For a little girl, her birthday is a miracle, she expects wishes and pleasant surprises to come true, but only so that all this can be immediately touched.
It is possible that the upset child will burst into tears at the top of his voice. Of course, he will quickly forget the insult, but you will feel awkward when you come without a gift.
Original ideas
Someone just wants to look original and give the girl something unusual, while someone has come across a "difficult" birthday girl who already has everything. From an atypical four-year-old baby, you can give the following:
- Private inflatable pool - bright, fun and allows you to survive the heat.
- Glow in the dark pillow - beautiful and very similar to a fairy tale.
- Music Box - entertaining and quite cute.
- interactive doll - allows you to significantly bring the game closer to reality.
- Children's karaoke - for those girls who love to sing and dream of an appropriate career. Caution: only for very patient parents!
- Animal - will surely cause the child's genuine delight, but may not receive the approval of the parents, plus there remains the risk of violation of sanitary standards and allergies in any of the family members.
