What toys to buy a 4 year old

Shop the Amazon Birthday Store for great 4th birthday toys and games, as well as party decorations.

Some great toys and birthday gift ideas for 4 year olds include outdoor toys like scooters and bicycles with training wheels, educational toys like Leap Frog learning toys, and pretend play items like play kitchens and play food.

Action and toy figures are also popular among 4 year olds. Boys tend to like the rough action figures like Toy Story Characters Woody, Bullseye, and Buzz Light Year. 4 year old girls enjoy playing with My Little Ponies, Barbie dolls, Hello Kitty, Squinkies, Smurfs, and Cabbage Patch Kids.

And I highly recommend the Leapfrog Explorer, based on my son's own experience with this neat little educational game system.

Leapfrog Explorer Review

Last year for Christmas, we bought my almost 4 year old son a Leapfrog Explorer for his big gift from Santa Claus. And it has been his favorite toy for the entire last 10 months. He has an older brother in high school, so he spends a lot of time tagging along to his older brother's basketball games and such. Places were he can't really run around and play, but needs to sit in one spot and be occupied. This game system has been a life saver! He loves playing it! It also keeps him occupied in the car on long trips, such as the 19 hour drive to see family for Christmas!

We started him out with three games: Dora the Explorer, Toy Story 3, and Penguins of Madagascar Game. He likes them all. We plan to buy some more games for him this Christmas too. It was definitely worth the money spent. And it has also held up well, considering he drops it all the time. It has some scratches, but works flawlessly, and the screen graphics are GREAT compared to other handheld kids games.

Based on our experience with this game, I would HIGHLY recommend it for your 4-7 year old!

What I DON'T LIKE about the game system: I can't remember exactly, but I think we had to hook up the system to the computer and set something up before he could play the "built in games". And the built in games only let you do a few things, then they want the kid to ask their parent to connect to the internet and buy more things for the game. I don't like these "advertisements" to buy more stuff. But since we gave him the system along with a few game cartridges at the same time, he played the other games from the beginning. However, plan on your child not being able to do too much on the system without buying game cartridges for it (and another negative, the games are expensive for this age group). But like I said, my son has been happily playing the three games he got (1 from us and 2 from grandma and grandpa) for the past 10 months! And he plays with it ALL the time, not like some other cheap toys he got for Christmas that he lost interest in after 2 weeks!

All in all, WELL worth the money. Very happy with our purchase. We will be buying more games for him this year for Christmas, and maybe the charger docking station too (right now we go through a lot of batteries!)
