Things can get realllll boring with toddlers when you are doing the same thing everyday. It's awesome to spice things up and try some new activities or go on some new adventures! These recommendations are located in AZ 🌵🏜️

I love this age. Four year olds are not toddlers anymore, but they also aren't quite school-age "kids" yet either. They have interests that range from Barbies to Spider Man to Disney Princesses to Legos to pretend play and more! Gifting for this age is so much fun, but it can also be tricky. By this age, they probably are starting to outgrow some of their "baby" toys and are starting to look at things like Lego sets or pretend make up or even early reading. It's important to cater to their interests and to respect their parents' preferences. Don't gift just another toy that'll get buried and forgotten. My list will help you stand out at the next birthday party for a 4 year old that you attend!

As a mom I truly had zero intention of buying any of these things, BUT each item on this list has been used more times than I can count!
