Hello all, My auntie's son is turning 5years this Sunday. And so we have a Birthday party to attend and I have got simply nothing in mind what can be a good gift. My granny suggested a dress but I want to give something that a 5 year old child can really value. He is not old enough to understand the value of a normal dress. Any ideas friends? Thanks so much in advance ~Bodhi

Toys are of great joy for kids,trucks and other boy stuffs.. My Nephew who is turning six ask me to buy him a kiddie pool.I think that will be great.Not heavy on the pocket too..

Do U think Kiddie Pool is good for a 5 year old? Isn't he a bit too old for that?

For a 5-year-old either a set of coloring books, story books with colorful pictures or set of building blocks are the best gifts. This stuff is very much amusing as well help a great deal in their learning process and development. Also, these are not very expensive, so choosing either of these options would well fit in your budget too.

Actually the point of view of learning process was in my mind as well. I really think I should give something learning and amusing so that he can enjoy that as well. He is kinda notorious and not quiet enough to read and colour I think..

Yes, that is true, some children do not like to sit in one place and do something that will not make any noise :) My son just turned 3 and he is also very active and naughty, one of my friends gave him a set of architectural blocks and I just showed him once on what we can build from those blocks. Now he is very much interested and wants to play with them most of the time. You could probably give him something to build cars and trucks, boys usually like that a lot and there is no problem of breaking them.

Give him something that will trigger his creativity. Creativity is the solution to many problems. It's a way of thinking you need. Or just ask the boy what he likes to have.

I would recommend trucks and cars! My little one is 4 and he loves trucks and cars and lincoln logs. Anything that makes a lot of music...which I HATE lol. Beginners books are always a plus! Maybe even a cartoon movie for him to watch!

True. He would love them. But he loves to break them once done playing with it. My mind was saying something like a remote control car or helicopter. But I think that will be out of my budget.

a child at that age will love anything, toys, games . and just being there is a great thing too. a Uncles love is more than you can ever give.he will be happy with what ever you give him. just remember he is only 5 years old.

You can buy a nice toy. Or normally books will be a good gift for children. It is very important for the children to have a habit of reading. So if you can buy some interesting books, it will be great for your auntie's son. I love China

SOmething to play outside with would be good. Or games he can play with friends or family. Vtech has some great learning games for kids his age. What does he like to do? I would find a toy store and check out the 5 year range of toys. What would make him happy?

i have some ideas for you. you may give coloring books, crayon, or color pencil for him. you may also give story books for him. if he is fond of sport, just give him sport tool, like racket, ball, skateboard, etc. or just take him to somewhere special, having picnic, fishing swimming together

Most of the children are found of toys. Toys help the children or the kid to lift up in their own world. They people spent a lot of time with them without any problem. This shows the intrest of toys on kids. So I think that a toy is the best gift you can give to him.
