Cameras
My 4 year old niece and son both have recently received a vtech camera and they loved them.
The camera features 2 mega pixel camera and 4x digital zoom. It has a front and back lense so it can take selfies. It can take videos and has games too. You can use the camera to edit your photos with special effects such as adding special frames and stamps to your photos. |
The great thing about it is its really tough. So you don't have to worry too much about kids dropping it or handling it too roughly. Although, my son still managed to drop his in water and that will definitely break it!!
Arts, Crafts and Beads Sets
4 year old girls love arts and crafts, painting and drawing pictures. Anything that facilitates this makes a great gift.
I love the decorate your own princess mirror kit featured.
There is glitter and stickers to decorate the included mirror. After little girls have finished decorating the mirror they can use it for their own imaginative play too. A big tub of craft materials is another good idea. You can get lots of crafts in one big storage box. Just clear the table, get some of the crafts out and let them start gluing and creating. Once they've finished its quick to clear back up in the box. |
Pretend Play
4 year old girls love pretend play, being doctors, shop keepers and post mistresses are all great ideas.
Both my niece and my almost 4 year old son love playing post office, creating letters, writing on them, stamping them and posting them. I think a post office set would make a great gift for any 4 year old girl.
Other ideas include the medical kit or doctors/nurses outfit to play doctors. A cash register is great for shop role play, to help learn numbers, counting and introduce the concept of money. |
A sweet shop is another great idea. What 4 year old isn't going to be impressed by a toy with lots of sweets that they can play with and then eat? Another idea for 4 year old girls who love animals and have a huge imagination is a vets kit.
Outdoor Toys
There are lots of great outdoor toys suitable for 4 year old girls. Scooters are always popular. You could get either a 3 or 4 wheel scooter for a 4 year old depending on their height and how confident they are on a scooter. The 3 wheel scooter opposite features flashing lights which most 4 year olds will love.
4 is also a good age to buy a first bike, although I would recommend trying one out at a bike shop to check for the right size. You can either get a bike with stabilisers or it's not too late to buy a balance bike for a four year old. |
Another great gift idea is a stomp rocket. Stomp on the rocket launcher to see how high you can launch a rocket into the sky. Great fun for adults and kids of all ages! Check it out on my page on outdoor toys.
Dolls and Accessories
4 year old girls will love a big dolls house. If they've got a doll's house already, doll house furniture may make a great gift.
A Baby Annabell doll is a gift my 4 year old niece has asked for,last Christmas. Baby Annabell is a realistic baby doll.
Little girls at this age often love babies and this doll has realistic baby sounds and gurgles, babbles and sucks on dummy and bottle. She also drinks real water from her bottle and cries real tears when upset or hungry, burps after feeding and yawns when sleepy, |
Princess Toys
There are some great princess themed toys. If you're little one loves princess themed toys there are lots of ideas. They include princess dolls and playsets. If they don't have a princess dress up this is another fab idea. Girls this age love dressing up into all kinds of outfits (my niece is one of those girls!), so don't be surprised if they want to wear their princess costume to nursery and out to the supermarket.
Princess Dress Up
Sometimes dress up can be of poor quality but Melissa and Doug costumes are well known for their quality and this princess dress up is of no exception.
It features a pink and cream satin and tulle gown and also comes with a crown and a wand. The dress is machine washable which is a plus as many aren't and kids are very likely to get them quite dirty. |
Games
4 year old girls are at the age where they love to play simple games. Orchard games do a great range of games for preschoolers which don't require reading, are educational, simple, quick and lots of fun. There are lots of examples of Orchard toys games on my board games for 4 year olds page.
Many 4 year old girls will love the Magical Teatime game. It's a fun simple game which also encourages imaginative play.
As the magical teapot blows on your tea, the color in your teacup changes and you’ll earn the treats that are on the plate of the matching color. Along the way, Sofia and the Good Fairies reward you for your proper teatime manners. The winner is the person who collects the most treats. |
Of course, at the moment Princess toys from the move Frozen are popular with 4 year old girls. And there is a Frozen game featured further on in the article
Lego and Construction Toys for 4 Year Old Girls
Lego and construction toys aren't just for boys or tomboys! There are some great lego kits aimed at girls with blocks and bricks in pink and girly colours. Lego is great for creative play. Girls will love building houses, towers, farms, windmills, princess castles, vehicles and animals and then playing with them afterwards.
I love the lego juniors set which are aimed at kids from aged 4 to 7. The sets feature standard size lego but they are designed to be easy to build so younger kids can have a go on their own. |
They have easy to follow instructions especially for younger kids. The set featured also makes a great kit to play with once built. The house features opening doors, windows, kitchen cabinets and mailbox. The accessories include a teddy bear, mirror, hairbrush, shampoo bottle, bedside lamp, cups, cooking pots, ice cream, dog bowl, bone and a ball. The set also has a modular design for flexible play

Frozen is extremely popular with 4 year old girls at the moment. If they haven't seen the movie the Frozen DVD is a fab idea. If they have seen the movie there are all kinds of toys that they will love.
Ideas include Frozen dolls, Frozen dress up, games, stickers, an Else styling head, a Frozen backpack, jigsaws, art supplies and an umbrella. The list is endless. The Frozen 6 in 1 games opposite is a nice themed gift for Frozen fans. It features bingo, go fish, crazy 8's, plus four in a row, dominoes and matching. The games feature characters from Frozen. |
Educational Toys for 4 Year Old Girls
There are some great educational toys for 4 year old girls. Learning through play is the best way for children to learn at this age and there are some really fun toys teaching letters, phonics and writing.
Check some out on our educational toys for 4 year olds.
Jigsaws are also great educational toys. Novice puzzlers can begin with about 24 pieces. After this 4 year old girls will probably work best with a large 40 or 45 piece puzzle but as they get older may be able to do 60 pieces.
And don't forget books, kids learn so much when you read to them. They improve their vocabulary and develop a love for reading. And its great for parents and children to spend quality time together too. Choose books on subjects and about characters that they will love.

Activity Tracker
The leapfrog activity tracker is designed to get kids moving and is a great toy to have to burn off energy (especially on a rainy day when kids are stuck indoors).
The band is wearable and will measure kids activity throughout the day. It comes preloaded with activities to encourage kids to jump, dance and move. There are fun tasks such as wriggle like a bug or march like an elephant. There are also lots of virtual pets to choose from including a cat, dog, dragon, monkey, panda, penguin, robot, and unicorn. |
Themed Toys and Playset
There are lots of themed toys and playsets aimed at 4 year old girls.
From the old classics such as Barbie to the newer names such as Hello Kitty and Frozen.
My little pony makes great little playsets which definitely have stood the test of time. 4 year old girls love playing imaginatively with the ponies, playing with their manes and hair. Check a My Little Pony playset out below.

The playset comes with a Princess Candence pony figure and another figure called Baby Flurry Heart.
The castle lights up and reflects cutie marks when heart-shaped button is pressed. It has two staircases and an area for play on all sides which is great when more than one child is playing. There are also 2 closets that have shelves that can spin and a swing for the Baby Flurry Heart figure. |
There's also 16 fun accessories include a dress, throne, crystal vanity, cradle, and jewels.
