    Finding the perfect gift can sometimes be tricky especially as your kids get older. 5 year old girls are especially tricky to shop for because they aren't a toddler anymore and have become extremely independent.

    Top Gifts & Toys for 5 Year old Girls

    1.Remote control unicorn

    Does your 5 year old daughter love unicorns? If so, she will love this remote control unicorn. 

    It can sit, stand, walk, and jump!

    2.Pretend Doctor activity center

    5 year olds are independent and love to use their imagination which is why a pretend doctor activity center like this one from Melissa and Doug would be a dream come true!

    Not only does it provide lots of fun, they are also great for developing your child's sense of curiosity. 

    3.Bean bag Chair

    Another great gift idea for a 5 year old girl is a furry bean bag chair. This Delta bean bag chair is super comfy and just the right size for her. 

    She will love that how soft it is and that it's a chair all for her.

    4.Instax Mini Camera

    Another fun and super cool gift idea is an Instax mini camera. 5 year olds are a lot more responsible than toddlers so this mini polaroid camera is perfect!

    There are lots of different accessories that go with it or you can check out this cool bundle available on Amazon.

    5.Amazon Fire Kids Tablet

    Another tech-savvy gift idea for your 5 year old girl is a kids tablet. We personally love the Fire tablets from Amazon because they offer some fun and education games, books, and videos. 

    They are great for long car rides and there are some great parental features to control how much screen time they are getting.

    6.Legos

    Legos are another great gift idea! There are lots of different sets to choose from if your 5 year old girl is interested in Frozen or Minnie Mouse or perhaps animals.

    My daughter is into Frozen everything, so we are going to get her this Arendelle Castle village set for her 5th birthday!

    7.Doll House

    A lot of 5 year old girls love playing with dolls which is why a doll house would be another good gift idea. This KidKraft doll house is 3 stories and even comes with the furniture!

    8.Barbie and barbie accessories

    Like Legos, barbies are another great option for 5 year old girls. There are so many different kinds of barbies, accessories and dresses. 

    There is a barbie doctor doll, a barbie astrophysicist doll, and many more! 

    These are great for imaginative play and showing your daughter that she can be whatever she wants to be when she grows up.

      These are great ideas! When it comes to gifts for kids especially at that age, personalised children’s books come to mind. Personalised books are fun and easy option for gift giving. You’ll create a unique story with their name, image, and other details, printed and bound like any other book. It’s a fun story and a keepsake they’ll treasure for many years to come. In case you're wondering, I got mine at personalisedchildrensbooks.com
