This is the age of discovery. At this time, the
young child begins to become a little more self sufficient and starts to
fully explore the world around them. Birthday parties can range from
large to small, as do the gifts. When purchasing a gift for this age
group, the theme of discovery should be encouraged for toys or other
gifts. Provide the catalyst for discovery of the world with their
first microscope, binoculars or telescope. There are many science
experiment kits for this age group to have fun with. You can also
introduce them to the world of sports with their first soccer ball,
plastic baseball bat or rubber football, even purchase tickets to take
them to their first sports event. Gymnastics, Ballet or Karate are
also alternative sports that you might want to purchase accessories for.
Clothing, is always a good idea for this age group. When purchasing
any gift for this age group always keep two things in mind: (1) Make sure
the gift is age appropriate and (2) you are buying for the child, so make
it something the child would like, no matter how much you like it.
