Looking for a gift for your 5-year-old child? Or the perfect toy to surprise your nephew or your not? Here you will find many great gifts so that the joy is great when unwrapping.
In our checklist you will find all the important criteria for buying a toy for 5-year-olds. You can find the perfect toy in our product recommendations.
- Find out in advance which toys the child is particularly interested in to ensure that the child really wants to play with them.
- If the toy is to be used outside, then you should choose waterproof and robust toys. In addition, this toy must be particularly easy to clean.
- Toys for on the go should be small and light so that they can be easily stowed away and do not leave any waste in the environment.
- Since 5-year-olds still have a relatively short attention span, games should only have a maximum playtime of 20 to 25 minutes.
- Make sure books have lots of pictures and very little text. Almost every book now has an age recommendation to help you choose.
- Particular safety for toys is provided by certifications such as the GS mark or the “blue angel” and “spiel gut” seals of approval, as well as the VDE seal for toys with electronics.
- Since children like to explore toys with all their senses, check whether toxic materials, plasticizers or strong chemicals are contained.
- Make sure that the toy has no sharp or pointed edges and corners. Also, small parts should be securely attached to the toy to prevent them from being swallowed.
- At this age, children are often very sensitive to noise, so it’s better to choose a low-noise toy.
- As 5-year-olds are about to start school, it’s best to opt for a toy that imparts knowledge while playing.
- To promote the child’s social development, a game with roles, defined rules and a problem to be solved together is optimal.
- The toy should always be interactive and not promote purely passive play. This way, children learn to be active and do not get bored.
- If creativity in play is particularly important to you, toys in which children experiment or flexibly create and build things are suitable.

FAQ About Toys For 5 Year Olds
The gift should be made depending on the interests of the child. Basically, however, the toy should be kept simple, as 5-year-olds do not yet understand more complex relationships. In addition, it is important that the toy is interactive, so it is not just decoration.
5-year-olds are about to start school, so it is advisable to choose a toy that teaches knowledge through play. Which category or theme the toy comes from depends on the child.
For example, 5-year-olds are interested in dress-up, physical activities (riding a bike, jumping on a trampoline, jumping rope, etc.) and crafts. However, interest in different things and activities always depends on the child individually.
For example, boys at 5 like riding bikes, jumping on trampolines, playing with Legos, dressing up, and more.
