Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide – Gifts for 4 Year Old Plus

Christmas is fast approaching and whilst it may be the most magical, wonderful time of year it come be overwhelming trying to choose the right gift for your little ones. I’ve pulled together a handy gift guide to help you pick the perfect gift from our amazing selection of gift, books and toys. Here’s our top choices on gifts aimed at 4 year olds.

Four Year Old Gifts

The best toys for 4 year olds are ones that take charge on how they want to play. Open ended toys are such a great investment for this age. A lot of children at this age are at preschool or may be starting school. They may be articulating what toys that enjoy and start learning to share and play together.

Yoto Player

The Yoto Player is a carefully connected screen-free speaker that's controlled by durable cards so it plays only the audio content you want your little ones to listen to.

A world of stories, music, activities, podcasts, radio, sound effects and more!

We've had our Yoto Player for over 2 years now and it has been the perfect gift for us, after reading at bedtime we pop on a card, normally now Roald Dahl or Ladybird Adventure Stories and my little one falls asleep listening to them.  It is fantastic to have it on in the background on our day to day life at home rather then a screen. 

With 100's of choices of cards incuding Julia Donaldson, How to Train your Dragon, Disney Junior Movies, Marvel, Roald Dahl, Music, Non fiction there is so many choices to be enjoyed.
