What to Look for in Gifts for 4-Year-Old Girls Fun Four-year-old girls tend to gravitate toward anything that's spunky, silly, cute, cheerful, or just plain fun. Fun, of course, can be interpreted in many ways. However, toys, games, stuffed animals, dolls, and anything with "big kid" appeal and/or sensory elements, such as sound, light, smell, or touch features, are always popular. Function Preschool girls are growing fast and tend to go through clothes, shoes, and other practical items quickly. So, new tops, pants, dresses, shoes, socks, and other clothing items will likely be well-received. Backpacks, sports equipment, lunch bags, hair accessories, and beauty products, such as child-safe shampoo, are also a hit. Passion Little girls are often very passionate about what they are interested in. Depending on the girl, they might love giraffes, unicorns, modeling clay, soccer, ponies, or Power Rangers. Look for gifts that align with their favorite topics or activities. Alternatively, you might seek to inspire their next fixation by getting them something related to a new or as yet undiscovered area of interest. Why Trust Verywell Family?
