Age 5 isn’t an easy one for gift givers. Toddler toys are a little too young, and toys like Legos might still be a bit too advanced. At this age, children are counting, drawing shapes, and learning to write their numbers and letters. They’re active but can also pay attention to longer, more involved books. Here’s are list of 16 no-fail gifts for anyone celebrating their 5th birthday.
Board games are great for children’s learning and development, but they have also been great ways to connect with my children.

Most of us probably don’t remember learning our ABCs, but when my toddler suddenly began pointing out letters all over the place, we decided to reinforce this excitement and bolster this fundamental skill with a few toys and books. Here are a few of our favorites that, while having fun, also help to build communication, reading, writing and other cognitive skills in little ones.

We spend a lot of time here at Bicycle Pie finding cute gifts that pair well together.
