I hope you have enjoyed my blogs with gift ideas for every age. If you’ve missed them, you can catch up here.  Today, I’m focusing on nine-year-olds. As children get older, their tastes get more refined and I only have time to focus on ten toys in this blog. However, I do stock a lot more, so if none of these suit the nine-year-old you have in mind (or the budget is too small or big here), check out my full range of toys for this age group here.

1. Mould and Paint Crafts

These kits are often given to younger kids whose parents have to do most of them as they are too difficult. If you wait until your child is slightly older, then they can fully enjoy making crafts like these, with very little help needed. I stock Mould and Paint Trucks, Cupcakes, Cute Pets and Sealife.

2. Wooden Beads

Are you ever too old to enjoy making jewellery. These sets of wooden beads from Djeco have 400+ different shaped and coloured beads that will keep your children and their friends busy for hours. Available in blue tones and lilac tones.

3. Where’s Wally – Find it Fast

This is a fast moving observation game that the whole family will love to play.  You can find the Where’s Wally Find it Fast Game here.

4. Create a Geode

For any geography or crystal lovers, this kit would make a great present! It’s fun watching the crystals form on the geode.

5. Make your own Insect Home

This gift would be perfect for a child that loves nature and crafts. You make the insect home and then you place it outside for little creatures to live in.

6. Bubble Lab

This science kit will teach the child all about bubbles – how they form, how to make extra large ones and so much more. It’s a perfect gift for children who like messy play and science.

7. A Squeezy Banana

Some kids love lots of small items instead of one bigger gift. If that the case with the child you are buying for, then I’d recommend some sensory fidget toys as part of your gift. Children this age love things like Squeezy Bananas, pineapples and Faces.

8. Squirrels Go Nuts Game

Squirrels Go Nuts is a one player game where you set up the board choosing on of the 60 puzzles and then you have to fit the rest of the pieces on the board.

9. Make your own Balloon Animals

Learn the art of making balloon animals with this fun kit from SES Creative.

10. Kersplatt

This is a fun game for the whole family to enjoy or to play with when their friends are over.

I hope you’ve found something that suits the 9-year-old you are buying for. As I said, this is just a small selection of toys that I stock. If you haven’t found anything here, then please take a look at my full range.
