Collection: Christmas Gifts for 5 Year Olds

1. How to pick a perfect Christmas toy?

Choosing a Christmas gift for a 5-year-old is all about finding toys that match their interests and developmental needs. Building sets like Connetix Tiles and Plus Plus offer creative, educational play that grows with them. Smaller Christmas gifts like arts & crafts kits or colouring sets make excellent stocking fillers for kids, offering hours of mess-free fun. Many of our toys are also eco-friendly, with 70% made in the UK or Europe, making them thoughtful children’s Christmas presents with sustainability in mind.

2. What are 5-year-olds developing, and what are their general interests in terms of play?

At age 5, children are refining fine motor skills, developing logical thinking, and enjoying social play. They gravitate toward activities that involve building, problem-solving, and creativity. Connetix Tiles are ideal for spatial awareness, while Plus Plus sets encourage constructive play. Educational games like Londji cooperative games make learning fun and support teamwork, making them perfect Christmas gifts for kids that encourage both independent and cooperative play.

3. What are STEM toys, and why are they loved by children and trusted by parents?

STEM toys like Connetix Tiles and Go Genius educational board games (for kids aged 7+) introduce children to concepts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths through engaging, hands-on activities. Kids love STEM toys for the endless play possibilities, while parents trust them as educational gifts that build critical thinking and creativity. STEM toys are top choices for Christmas gifts for kids, offering both fun and learning in one package.

4. Why are board games beneficial for 5-year-olds?

Londji board games and puzzles teach essential skills like patience, cooperation, and resilience. These games offer a screen-free, family-friendly activity that helps 5-year-olds learn to take turns, work as a team, and handle both wins and losses. Board games are ideal children’s Christmas presents that support social skills, cognitive development, and family bonding.
