At age 5, grade-schoolers are starting to expand their worlds into a bigger social circle with classmates and teammates — and toys and games can help them seek out new interests and spark a new love of learning. At this age, they can start to discover if they are passionate about science, art, and more. These toys and games are perfect for igniting creativity, encouraging imaginative play, and inspiring kids to explore the world around them. Check out our favorite gifts for 5-year-olds below!
