Best Gifts for 8-10 Year Old GIRLS

Ranked #2,277 in Parenting & Kids, #71,033 overall

Tween Girls

I know from experience with my niece who's about to turn 9, that finding a gift for a little girl her age she'll enjoy can sometimes be difficult so I thought I'd offer some great tips for everybody who may sometimes be stuck in the same rut.

Some educational gifts could encourage her to learn about her passions and interests. Some gifts are entertaining and they'll permit her to celebrate a special occasion.

When purchasing a gift for whoever that special little girl is to you, buy something that shows your love and affection.

BOOKS

Bilingual books, such as "My Abuelita" ("My Grandma") by Tony Johnston, encourage the girl to expand her vocabulary and learn a new language. Some books, including "The Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell, show the girl that other children can feel left out. This book is appropriate for a girl who has trouble fitting in with school mates since it is about a girl lost on an island alone.

ENTERTAINMENT

Tween and preteen girls appreciate gifts that are entertaining. Board games can be educational and they permit the girl to enjoy a family game night. Give the girl some of her favorite movies on Blu-ray so she can enjoy a clear picture. Or buy her a few movie tickets so she can take some friends out to a movie.

SUBSCRIPTION

Some girls can appreciate a subscription to an educational magazine, such as magazines about creative writing or animals. Magazines show the girl that reading can be enjoyable when she reads about something that interests her. Or get the girl a subscription to Netflix, a service that streams movies and permits movie rentals to be shipped to your door. Maybe even iTunes if you've got the next little American Idol on your hands.

PETS

An 8 to 10-year-old girl is old enough to take care of a pet. Rescue a puppy or kitten from a kennel. Just double check that the girl has no allergies. A girl who is allergic to pet dander should be fine with a non-allergenic dog, such as a Yorkshire Terrier. Alternatively, get a small pet, such as a rabbit or a hamster. Even birds or an aquarium. The girl can learn responsibility by changing her pet's food and cleaning its cage or tank.
