Christmas gift tips for 4-year-olds
Stuffed animals
Soft toys are a real classic that is great for both hugging and being by the child's side. Some of them can even make sounds and talk. If the child has a particular character from books or movies that is a favourite, then that is always a safe bet!

Full speed ahead
Encourage movement and activity, while training motor skills with a ride-on toy. For example, a running bike can be a good first step before it's time for training wheels, but there are also lots of fun and fast electric cars, scooters and much more.
Christmas gifts for 5-year-old
Lego
A building set from LEGO is a perfect Christmas present for the 5-year-old as it is both fun, but also challenges the child's creativity, dexterity and building skills.
Colours and shapes
Let your child express their creativity through painting books, magic sand or modelling clay. It both stimulates and develops the child's fine motor skills, creativity and cognitive development while having a calming effect.
Beads
Beads is the perfect mix of fun, play and learning. With a set of beads it is possible to make different shapes, animals, necklaces, bracelets and much more - in all possible colours and combinations!
Play set
With a play set there can be many hours of play over and over again, when there are tons of accessories and features to have fun with. Popular sets right now come from Brio, Barbie and Playmobil and more.
Christmas gift tips for 6 year olds
Dolls and doll houses
Dolls and doll houses are the ultimate form of fun, only limited by their own imagination they surely will make for many hours of fun.
Kick Scooter
Perfect for the active child who loves to move and have fun - and practice tricks! There are scooters that are made for the smallest, which means a great focus on comfort and safety, for example with secure handles. In addition, it is worth noting that this Christmas present can last a few years as they can often be adjusted to several heights and therefore also work as the children grow.
Remote controlled cars
A remote controlled car is guaranteed to provide many hours of fun, filled with wild stunts and action-packed driving both indoors and outdoors. They are available in several sizes and colors, so there is something for every taste.
Backpack
It will be much more fun to carry your own stuff with a nice backpack! Perfect to have for preschool, school, outings or training.
Christmas gifts for 7 year olds
Posters
Paintings and posters are a perfect way to add style to a children's room, and there are lots of sizes and nice motifs to choose from.
Experiment and explore
Want a great gift that's both fun and educational, and also great for social occasions like sleepovers and birthdays? Then how about something that teaches the child about the planets, the solar system and outer space? Or a mini-greenhouse to learn about agriculture and biology?
Popular books
Is there anything better than getting lost in the world of books? For the 7-year-old who likes to read, there are plenty of popular choices on the top list right now.
Christmas gifts for 8 year olds
Board games
A good board game or puzzle that challenges both the 8-year-old and the rest of the family means plenty of fun for everyone. Playing games also benefits children's memory and logic. Above all, it is a fun way to spend time together.
For the little makeup artist
Maybe make-up videos are everything you child watches on YouTube? There are many kid-friendly makeup kits that are perfect for anyone who wants to experiment and find their inner stylist.
NERF
Another popular choice for any 8 year old, especially those that love fun and games, is practicing their aim with different types of NERF-toys.
