Gifts for a 5-Year-Old: Ideas That Delight and Build Skills

At five, a child feels "big". They want to help in the kitchen, count to twenty and teach their little brother the letters they learned at kindergarten. They also remember who gave them what, so a good gift lives with them for years.

What a 5-year-old loves

• Building and taking things apart.
• Running, scoring and being challenged.
• Winning, and learning that losing is part of the game.
• A huge imagination: chef, engineer and doctor in one afternoon.
