Christmas Gift Guides for Children Aged 3-6

It is that time of year again when Christmas is looming. If you are anything like me, one day it seems like you have loads of time and  the next minute it is Christmas eve. I wanted to try and be as organised as possible this year. Mainly because the more organised you are the less stress you have. Also if anything 2020/2021 has taught me is that you never know when you may have a child isolating at home with you. I have put together a couple of gift guides for children aged 3-6 years and children aged 7-12 years (the tweens)to give you some ideas for presents. I have tried to include some smaller independent shops because now more than ever it is really important that we use them.

Spidey and His Amazing Friends Web-Quarters Playset

Any child would absolutely love this toy. We are huge fans of Spidey. The toys are the perfect size for little hands. The toys are strong and sturdy (we have many from the Spidey ands amazing friends collection) and long lasting. The Spidey and His Amazing Friends Web-Quarters Playset is a real wow gift. The Web quarters has sound effects, and light-up eyes, creating a great space for imaginative play. Suited for ages 3+ perfect for any Marvel fan.

Baby Shark Sing & Snuggle Plush.

Alfie is a huge Baby Shark fan. In fact all my children love Baby Shark. This plush makes for a lovely gift. In the day time it plays the familiar baby shark song for you to sing along with. In the evening, pop on the eye mask (which is included) and you can play the Goodnight Baby Shark Lullaby and snuggle it to sleep. The plush toy also acts as a night light.

Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Pizza Oven Play

I generally buy Play-Doh every year for my Children. It is such a well used all year round gift especially during the winter months. My kids love imaginary play especially cafes so this Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Pizza Oven Play  is a perfect gift to let their imaginations flow. Aimed at Children 3 and over, The play food set includes 8 tools to help inspire future cooks’ creativity, and 6 modelling compound colours including a tricolour can with pizza-themed colours. Kids can also get their pretend pizzas ready for delivery in the pizza box. This Play-Doh set makes a great activity, gift, or arts and crafts toy for kids 3 years and up!

Messy Me Baking Kit.

What child doesn’t like baking? This is a beautiful set which contains an oil cloth apron, a set of star baked cookie cutters, a rolling pin and also a couple of recipes. All in a handy little bag. The baking sets is available in different colours and patterns to suit your personal taste. This is a lovely gift one maybe even for the Christmas eve box so you and your child can make some biscuits for Santa. I should add Messy Me also offers 10% off if you sign up to their mailing list.

Tin Tea Set

I remember when last year Alfie wanted a tea set we really struggled to find one that would suit him. He wasn’t interested in pink or ballerinas he wanted a blue one with dinosaurs or diggers. This 7 piece construction tin tea set would have been perfect. Including 2 cups and saucers, a tea pot and a tray to serve with. It comes in quite a sturdy case with a handle so your little one can carry it with them. A beautiful gift from a beautiful independent toy shop.

Floss & Rock Magnetic Fun & Games Tin – Enchanted

As a huge fan of family games this is handy little gift that can be taken on holidays and restaurant to keep your children entertained. It includes 4 games in 1. Bunnies & Fairy Ladders (a prettier version of snakes and ladders), Tic,Tac,Toe, A Play Scene for your to create and a Word Search (a wipeable pen is included). A lovely set of well know games but with a magical twist. The games are all kept together in a tin so you don’t lose any pieces. You can also get the fun and games tin in many different themes, including Space and Jungle.

Giant Floor Puzzle with Fun Pop Out Play Figures

This 60 (big) pieces floor puzzle will keep your children very busy for quite some time. This one is called ‘One World’ and there are lots of other scenes to choose from. The puzzle includes pop our pieces so once the puzzle is completed the fun isn’t over. They can use their imaginations with the pop out characters and create different scenarios. It is packaged in a pretty box with a magnetic lid so all the pieces can be packed up nicely once play is finished. These products have been sent to me in exchange for this blog post.
