Gifts for a 5-Year-Old or 6-Year-Old
From toys that stand the test of time to board games that are anything but boring, we found the best kindergarten products for a five-year-old or six-year-old. Our list of loot is kid-tested, teacher approved, and full of options for any family, so get wrappin'!
Chimalong
Tired of hearing your kindergartener practice his percussion skills on every surface in the house? Replace the ear-splitting banging with the dulcet tones of this sweet-sounding instrument, sure to bring out the musician in any child.
BuildImagination Blocks
These are not your grandpa's blocks. The Water Set, with its sealed windows filled with colored liquid, can be overlaid to show how colors mix. And the Twisted Blocks transform triangles into parallelograms, allowing kids to turn angles upside-down with a quick flip of the wrist.
World Traveler Magnetic Dress Up Doll
Konichiwa! Namaste! Guten Tag! Give your kindergartner a tour of the world, with this set of magnetic dress up dolls. Like paper dolls, but created in a much more robust format, each tin comes with a magnetic figure, four background scenes, and three pages of magnetic outfits from across the globe.
A Visitor for Bear
Bear does not like visitors. So when a bright-eyed mouse knocks on his door, wrangling for a cup of tea, bear tells him to go away. The problem is, the mouse keeps popping up again and again, and in the most unlikely places! A delightful slap-sticky saga.
Too Many Toys
At Spencer's house, toys spill out of every nook and cranny, and his mother is determined to see him put at least some of the robots, board games, and cars in the giveaway box, while Spencer is determined to keep them all. Kids will wait with bated breath as they flip through the negotiations.
The Pencil
Once upon a time there was an extremely lonely pencil. Life was boring and sad until one day, the pencil quivered slightly and began to draw. He drew a boy, a dog, a cat... a whole world. Can your kindergartener predict what will happen next?
