Today’s gift guide is for the big(ger) kids! This is the first year I’ve created a gift guide specifically for kindergarteners, as our oldest Teddy started this fall and has newfound and seemingly endless enthusiasm for Legos and puzzles. 

I previously shared my gift guide for babies (~0-12 months) and gift guide for toddlers (~1-4 years). Today I’m rounding up a mix of fun and educational (and screen-free!) gifts perfect for 5–6 year olds like Lego sets, creative art projects, early sports gear, and hands-on learning activities. This $5 art kit was a big hit in our household, and we absolutely love our Banwood bikes. And this white soccer goal sees constant use in our backyard — it’s the only one I could find that wasn’t a huge eyesore!

Don’t miss the other installments in my 2025 gift guides including gifts for a new mom, monogrammed gifts, gifts for her under $50, gifts for her under $100, gifts for her under $250, and splurge-worthy gifts for her.

P.S. You’ll find even more kindergarten gift ideas on my Amazon storefront here!
