Best Birthday Gifts For Children 5 Years And Up

  Looking for a birthday gift for children ages 5 and up? Check out my favorite birthday gifts for my granddaughters.

  It is hard to believe that my first grandchild is going to be celebrating her 7th birthday soon. It seems like yesterday that my first grandbaby was born, and I wrote about becoming a grandma for the first time. My granddaughter is growing up too quickly. I wish that I could stop time and keep her little, but that is not going to happen. So I will enjoy her and look forward to more grandbabies. I will also remember the day she was born, every time I snuggle with my soft sherpa photo blanket. 

 A lot has happened since my first grandbaby was born; she now has two sisters, ages 1 and 4. The four-year-old is also celebrating a birthday soon. These two girls both have summer birthdays, a month apart. This makes shopping for birthday gifts easy.  

 Since the granddaughters are two years apart, they also share similar interests and play with similar toys. So birthday gift shopping is easy for this grandma. 

Birthday gift choices for my granddaughters 

Below are the gifts that I selected for my granddaughter's birthday gifts. My gift choices were based on the ages of the girls and their interests. I also decided to select birthday presents that are educational.
