Seven Favorite Gifts for Preschoolers

The gift-giving season can be challenging for grandmas.  Today I want to share some of my favorite gifts for the little ones in my life with the hope it will help you choose gifts for your grandkids. I've included links to my Amazon affiliate account for your shopping convenience.

This teepee has been a big hit with my granddaughters.  Their mom decorated it as a Christmas tree this year, making it new and fun for them. It has withstood approximately five years of fun and games with these sweet girls.

These mesh bags are perfect for collecting treasures on the beach, in the park, or in the woods.  If you are a grandma who likes to go on scavenger hunts with your grandkids, you'll want each of them to have a bag of their own. I keep them handy at my house, but moms and dads will appreciate them at their homes, too.

There is a bag full of beach treasure in the back seat of my car today!

These walkie-talkies are fun for sibling grandkids and Super Mario Brothers is popular with kids again.  Give them as a gift, or keep them at your home for fun during visits.

This robot dog is fun for the technically advanced preschooler.  If you have a grandchild, like I do, who is curious about how things work and loves buttons and tablets, this is a fun option.

These Mega blocks are always a good option for encouraging children to practice their STEAM skills in many ways. Whether sorting colors, making patterns, or building towers to knock down, this set of 150 blocks can provide hours of good fun. Even though this makes a great gift, I like to keep a set of these at my house, too.

Toddlers, preschoolers, and young school-age children alike gravitate toward this Fisher Price Doctor Kit. I still have the one my sons played with over thirty years ago and it's the toy my grandchildren always head for first. I wish it still had the hard case it came with long ago.

I can't say enough good things about this Montessori book.  

It is well-designed and well-thought-out with 14 pages to practice the concepts of Alphabet, Numbers, Colors, Shapes, Farm Animals & Pets, Sea Animals, Healthy Food, Transportation, Emotions, Opposites, Weather, Days of the Week, Months of the Year and the Human Body. It uses Velcro-secured images that children love removing and replacing in the book.

Each of these items is in stock as I publish this post.  I hope you find these ideas helpful.  Please share other fun ideas for the three-five-year-old preschooler in the comments.
