Before you buy
- Look for toys with more than one way to play: blocks beat a toy that does one trick.
- First board games teach turn taking and losing gracefully, which is gold before school.
- Craft kits are better with a grown-up nearby. Wrap a roll of tape with them.

Our appQuestions parents ask
What is a good educational gift for a 4 year old?
Counting bears, magnetic tiles, a first board game or an activity book with numbers and tracing. Learning sticks best when it feels like play.
Are coloring books good for preschoolers?
Yes. Coloring builds the grip and control they need for writing, and it is calm, screen-free time.
