Christmas Gift Ideas for 3-5 Year Olds
Happy Nappers
I know the stuff on TV infomercials seem ridiculous sometimes, but my kids got happy nappers for Christmas last year and they LOVED them. If you’re not sure what they are, Happy Nappers are a sleeping bag that folds into a pillow. When you open it to the sleeping bag it has a built in pillow that is a cute little character. My kids have them in their beds year-round. They are also great for sleepovers, if you go camping, or if you’re just having a family movie night in the basement!
Megaladon Remote Control Car
This was a hit last Christmas here. And honestly, even I like it! It’s a really cool remote control car, it’s rechargeable through a USB plug, and it’s truly water proof and light weight. The charge lasts about 30 minutes or so and recharges quickly. This is one mom and dad are sure to enjoy too.😉
KiwiCo Experience Christmas Gift Ideas
This subscription crate is the best! Each box comes with 3 activities and everything you need for it is included in the box. Get $10 off your first box HERE.
Nintendo Switch
This is a super personal one, but if you’re into video games these are really cool! There is also an app to go along with it so you can control how long your child uses it each day.
Chalkola Dot Markers
Dot markers are awesome! Not sure why, but kids truly love dotting circles on paper.😆
Board Games
We are a total board game family. A few of our favorites are: Chess, Trouble, Zingo, Jenga, Drone Home, and Chutes and Ladders. You can find these games at Target, Walmart, or even Amazon!
Books
You can’t go wrong with books! We love reading stories everyday. From story books, to board books, to non-fiction, books are the best gift! Check out my book list HERE.
Sticker Faces
These are fun books to pass the time. Create silly faces for endless entertainment!
Cutting Food Playset
Great for fine motor skills and imaginative play. Your kids can use these for pretend kitchen play, restaurant play, grocery store play, and more!
Train Tracks
We have loved Brio train tracks over the years. It’s always fun to create tracks together and play trains. Plus they are truly timeless. Kids will come back to these toys year after year.
Waterbeads
These are a great sensory activity. Add them to a bowl or a water table and your kids will stay occupied for hours! They are small though so they are definitely not for kids who still put things in their mouth!
Sticker Books
My kids are obsessed with the paint by sticker books from Workman Publishing. They have a bunch of different themed books such as, animals, dinosaurs, princesses, and more. So you’re bound to find one your child will like.
Balance Bike
My son has a Kazam balance bike and I swear it helped him learn to ride a bicycle in 10 minutes (once he was ready.) These bikes are so fun and help build balance skills better than riding a bike with training wheels.
Wellie Wisher Dolls
We absolutely LOVE our Wellie Wisher Dolls. Both my daughters (who are 5 and 2 years old) have one and I have never regretted the decision to buy one. They are great!

I love that the switch is on here 🤣 I may have asked Santa for one myself 😅
