Questions from grown-ups
What’s a good present for a 4 year old?
Something that feeds what they already play: a playset for the stories they act out, a first board game, a craft kit or a balance bike. A list lets each relative pick a different one.
Should I buy educational toys?
Most good toys teach something at four. Puzzles, games, building and pretend play all build skills, so pick what they’ll enjoy most.
