This left us with our list of the top 15 toys for five-year-olds. All of which are recommended and highly rated by parents, loved by children and approved by experts. Why you should trust usOne of the best toys for 5 year olds who love the outdoors, this micro scooter has three wheels and is tall and stable, yet light and speedy. It’s built to last years - from the age of five up to 12 - with high-end materials and mechanisms that go some way to justifying the hefty price tag.
Marble runs are not only hugely entertaining but are a great way to encourage problem-solving too. Your child will love working with you to construct and piece each element of the run, before setting the marbles free and watching in awe as they whizz around the path at speed. Yes, it comes with a hefty price tag, but if you've the space, the budget and the inclination, this is sure to be one of the best toys for 5 year olds (and, thanks to the recent Barbie movie, older fans as well!)
Age: 4 years+ | Batteries required: Yes (3 x LR44 batteries included) | Educational objectives: Imaginative and creative play What we like Highly recommended by Mumsnet parents, Dobble is similar to Snap. It's a game of speed, observation and reflexes to see who can find the matching symbol between two cards. Sounds simple, right? But each card is different, and only one picture matches every other card, so it’s a race to see who can spot theirs first. While other card games may only have one or two choices of games to play, Dobble has five, so your child won’t get bored easily.
