We’ve got quite a list of preschooler gift ideas for you! Our kids might be out of this stage, but it’s still fun to shop for preschoolers, although it can be challenging. They’re too big for the baby and toddler toys, but they don’t quite have the skills or patience for the big kid stuff. This list of preschooler gift ideas is stuff that Nolan has loved, plus a few newer things I think any preschooler would love.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know Nolan is a rough and tumble kid. He prefers running and jumping and high octane activities far more than sitting down to do something (although he is getting better at that!). This list is a good mix of both things, although it leans more towards stuff that gets the wiggles out.
Preschooler Gift Ideas
Osmo Starter Kit
If you are constantly fighting about screen time, this might be the compromise you need. Educational screen time disguised as playing is always a win! This Osmo starter kit comes with several different games perfect for preschoolers, and works with an iPad or Amazon Fire tablet. There are Osmo kits for every age, including coding ones, so it can grow with your child.

My Busy Day
The pictures are incredibly detailed, and there are no words. I love that you can tell your own stories by looking at the pictures. You could even play I Spy with them too. Bonus- the people in the book feature so much diversity! There are many different kinds in the series too, like this Christmas, animals, and vehicles.

Search and Find Books
These books are great for pre-readers. It builds the skill of sitting with a book, but doesn’t require them to actually read. They’re great in the car too!

Marble Run
This marble run has gotten so much use in our house. I find it to be an incredibly frustrating toy because I can never build a good run, but my kids are thrilled with it. I love toys that build problem solving skills, and spatial awareness, and this is perfect.

Spiderman Web Shooter
Superheroes are a big thing over here, and this Spider-Man Web Blast Web Shooter would be so fun. I’m sure I’ll come to regret it when I’m getting shot with webs, but isn’t that life with boys?

Bounce House
I’m going to preface this bounce house by saying this is an investment toy. It is expensive for sure (there are cheaper, smaller options on Amazon with great reviews, I just can’t vouch for them personally), but it saved us so many times last winter. It was a joint gift for both kids that I found on crazy sale (I’ll keep an eye out!), and I haven’t regretted it at all! It does take up a good amount of space, but it’s the kind of thing that takes up your living room for a few days, then you pack it away again for a while so it keeps its novelty. Both my kids (4 and 6) fit with room to spare, so it will definitely last a few years, or hold extra kids.

Go Kart
We got this go kart for Nolan’s birthday back in May and it has been such a hit. Every kid in the neighborhood wants to take a spin. We spend a lot of time out front riding bikes and playing, and it’s always nice to have another riding option to keep the fun going.
