Best Gifts for 4-Year-Olds in 2022

Above all else, we love LEGO construction sets because their blocks can be mixed and matched. Having more than one constructor allows kids to mix different constructor themes into one, developing their imagination.

This constructor model will be the best gift for little fans of Disney’s most famous cartoon Frozen.
Your child will be delighted to build an ice castle with their favorite characters – Anna, Elsa and Olaf.

In addition to developing fine motor skills, your child will actively use their imagination by recalling their favorite scenes from the cartoon.

According to some children’s experts, I have mentioned more than once that the love of dinosaurs is an indicator of high intelligence.

Is your child also fascinated by these mysterious reptiles and asks for toys related to them? Then this gift will be a real find for you. In addition to the fact that the child will have 10 favorite figurine dinos, they still have to build those figurines themselves.

The unique design allows kids to connect the parts from all sides. Maybe your child will create a whole new dinosaur?

Does your child imagine himself as a builder? Play along with his dreams by letting him build his construction site. This set includes all the necessary materials – a play mat simulating a construction site, machines necessary for construction (bulldozer, excavator, loader), road signs, and a house under construction.

Children can freely construct buildings of various styles, set up traffic signals and signs, and carry out construction on the construction site while playing with and assembling these construction toys. In addition, this is the ideal educational and STEM toy for developing children’s imagination, organizational skills, and hand-eye coordination abilities.

It is also an excellent opportunity for parents to introduce their children to the traffic rules.

I have to admit that we rarely find such a multifunctional set. It comes with 4 assembled cars that can form 35+ different shapes when connected to different parts!

This STEM construction toy can naturally arouse children’s curiosity and imagination. It is excellent for helping them develop eye-hand coordination, patience, concentration, and other practical skills as they play.
Because they are constructed of magnetic splicing, the construction toy cars can be assembled and disassembled at will.

Kids can assemble multiple magnetic parts to form a giant robot by connecting them. You won’t have to be concerned about magnetism because the magnet’s strength has been carefully calibrated to ensure the safety of children.

This set is a solid STEM set that will start your child off with basic math and engineering skills. This set is also perfect for your child if you adhere to the Montessori system or if you prefer to give your children wooden, quality toys.

This unique building set will help develop teamwork if your child will be playing with siblings or friends.

The quality of these wooden planks makes them an excellent choice for both home and Montessori-style classrooms, whether you’re looking for cool toys or best gifts for 4-year-olds, a clever gift for toddlers, or a toy the whole family can enjoy together.

This construction set helps to develop concentration, color and shape sorting, and fine motor skills. This new take-apart toy is based on the theme of an aircraft carrier. The building toy set includes an aircraft carrier, airplane, a tank, a helicopter, and a missile truck, all of which can be taken apart. The playset is appropriate for both boys and girls.

This toy is made entirely of smooth materials, with no sharp or pointy edges or edges that are difficult to remove. Furthermore, colorful chunky pieces are accessible for a toddler to grasp and place in the appropriate location.

The electric toy drill can be operated in either direction.

This is a great set for parents who want to spend quality time with their children while teaching them the importance of imaginative play.

The set consists of a chef, builder, and gardener costume and will help children create a sense of reality during pretend play.

Each Kid’s Set includes a costume and a kit for each activity – a tool kit for construction, cooking supplies, and gardening tools.

We usually recommend this manufacturer, as their toys are simply a delight to every parent looking for the best gift for their child.

Here we also recommend another toy from Learning Resources.

The toy cash register with a built-in solar-powered calculator will delight your child with its realism. For complete pretend play, your child will also have toy money in the form of bills and pennies, as well as a toy credit card.

This toy can be used for pretend play in the store, bank and office, and develop child’s math skills.

If your child is still scared to go to the doctor, you should buy this toy. In addition to developing imagination, fine motor skills, and creativity while playing, playing doctor will help children overcome their fear of doctors.

In addition, involving parents in the game will speed up this process and strengthen the parental bond.
The set has everything for a full-fledged medical office – a sphygmomanometer, thermometer, doctor’s coat, stethoscope, and more.

Perfect for role-playing games, educational toys for children of all ages, early development and smart learning toys. This is one of the best gifts for 4-year-olds.

How do you begin to teach your children to help around the house? That’s right! With the help of pretend play and toys.

But for a child to understand how household items are built, he needs toys that will show him how these devices work as realistically as possible.

This set of kitchen utensils includes all the kitchen utensils a child sees every day. Microwave, kettle, toy pots and pans, electronic induction stove, cooking utensils, apron, jars for bulk products.

In addition, the toys create realistic sounds and effects. So for the electronic induction stove has a backlight, and the microwave oven can rotate with realistic sounds.
These pretend toys help develop skills and motivate your child to be independent. We’re not even talking about the hours of fun that await your child with this set.

In my blog, I’ve highlighted a separate article about how toy kitchens develop children. You can read more about it HERE.

Melissa & Doug is probably the leading manufacturer of pretend games. This is my personal opinion and the opinion of many parents I know.

Let’s tell you about this beautiful toy kitchen. First of all, it is made of high-quality wood. I know that many parents nowadays prefer wooden toys. By the way, you can also read about wooden toys HERE.

The Melissa & Doug kitchen includes an oven, stove, microwave, sink, refrigerator, and working ice dispenser, and freezer.

The entire kitchen is interactive- an ice maker puts out toy ice, dials, microwave rotating oven, movable hooks, and open and close doors.
In addition, this toy kitchen is large enough to engage several children in play.
The only disadvantage of this toy is the high cost.

I would never have noticed a separate toy fridge! Until one year, my daughter wrote (I wrote, she dictated) in a letter to Santa Claus that she wanted a toy fridge!!! Honestly, I was surprised at the time. But after buying it, I saw that the child spent hours playing with it. Maybe you have also met with such a wish of your child.

This toy fridge is designed so kids can pretend to make food as if they were using the real thing. Either playing with the toy house, this household attribute is one of the most familiar to a child.

A working “ice” dispenser discharges plastic ice cubes and makes sounds. The double doors have an inner light that turns on and off when opened and closed. What we liked most about this toy because the freezer beeps when it’s been open too long! While playing, the child will remember that the refrigerator’s doors must permanently be closed.

If you’re looking for the most accessories you can get out of a toy workbench set, this one has 82 pieces in total, which is more than enough to put together multiple different toys.

Give young handymen everything they need to build and repair, such as realistic screwdrivers and hammers, as well as fantastic power drills. Many different tool attachments can be used together or individually.

Children may safely play on this classic toy workbench because it’s made of ABS plastic, durable and environmentally friendly.

With the INNOCHEER KIDS CLEANING SET, you’ll have everything you need to keep your little one’s hands clean. This set has everything a child could need for pretend play, including a realistic rope mop, an easy-to-hold hoover, a dustpan, a duster, a glass wiper, a hand brush, and an organizational stand from which to hang the various cleaning tools.

It’s not uncommon for kids to grab a broom and tackle dirt mounds, real or imagined. However, some cleaning products are too bulky or cumbersome for a young child. Detachable and simple to put together, this cleaning toy set is a great option for children. To ensure that your child’s mop and broom are the correct height, you can disassemble the mop and broom.

During pretend play, it is important for every child to feel like they are in real life. Children repeat many actions after their parents.

This Husqvarna toy mower resembles a real mower as much as possible. Your child will love to walk beside you and mimic your every move. The toy mower makes realistic sounds.

With this toy, you can encourage children to spend as much time outdoors as possible away from gadgets and TV and teach them to help adults.

Toy tool weed eater is created in the same manner as a genuine weed eater model, not only in terms of look, but it also functions with a green LED light that emits a realistic sound. All these features make it more appealing to children and encourage them to use their creativity.

It also includes tool accessories, such as goggles and axes, to provide a greater entertainment experience. These activities also contribute significantly to developing children’s hand-eye coordination, observational skills, and exploration and discovery abilities.

The weed eater’s head can be rotated 90 degrees, and there are two buttons for achieving the telescopic function, which allows extending the operating range. It will provide hours of entertaining and safe imaginative play for the children!

If your husband often spends time in the garage with his car and notice that your child is interested in what he does, this is the best gift for a young mechanic. 

This toy car repair station will teach your child about basic engine maintenance. 

Playing with the toy, your child will understand how to change spark plugs, learn how to check the air filter, remove and install the engine, change the battery, replace the radiator, jack up the car and change the wheel. Other tasks include:

• Replacing a shock strut.
• Replacing a mudguard.
• Checking and repairing the ignition.
• Constructing a ramp for model car racing.

Personally, all of these tasks are very far-fetched for me. But any car enthusiast would appreciate such a gift 100%. 

This adorable Dyson vacuum is a life-size replica of the Dyson DC14 Vacuum, and it will assist your little helper in keeping things neat in style.

Like the actual thing, the replica design includes proper working suction, authentic sounds, brilliant colors, a retractable wand, and multiple nozzles for getting into those hard-to-reach places.

The advantage of this toy is that it describes how to write numbers, figures, upper and lower case letters step by step, showing directions.

By the way, the toy is suitable for children under 4 years old. For kids who are just beginning to learn letters, Mr. Pencil has an option to sound out the letters. So, if you have several preschoolers at home, Mr. Pencil will be a great gift for the whole family.

About trampolines and their benefits for children can be written endlessly. But in anticipation of the holiday rush and saving your time, I’ll say just one thing: every child should have a trampoline.

We all love Lottie Dolls.

In addition to the doll, this set also includes a cute pony figure. There are many reasons why we recommend these dolls for children because these dolls have a body shape based on the average dimensions of a child, not an adult woman.

Maybe your child will also become interested in equestrian sports by playing with Lottie and her pony.

“Lottie promotes STEM subjects for kids and was even the first doll in space when she travelled to the International Space Station alongside British European Space Agency Astronaut, Tim Peake, on the Principia Mission, in December 2015.”
