Gifts for Babies and Kids By Age

Searching for an age-appropriate gift for the little ones in your life? Know exactly which toys, games and activities are suitable for kids of various ages when perusing the baby and kid's gifts by age categories. Each has practical, yet thoughtful and fun present-giving options for children of all ages.

Gifts for Newborns: Ideal for little ones aged 0-2 months old, Crate & Kids gifts for newborns include new parent essentials, such as organic swaddle blankets, baby bath towels and silicone teethers. Some additional favorites—think tummy time toys and soft rattles—help your family's newest addition develop basic motor skills.

Gifts for Babies: For young ones aged 2 months to 12 months, peruse the gifts for babies. Designed to help with sensory development, baby activity mats feature a variety of interactive elements, such as rattles and squeakers, that delight your little one as they play. Babies who can sit up might also enjoy a baby activity chair, and their nursery has a whimsical look when hanging mobiles and wall decor are added to the space.

Gifts for 1-Year-Olds: Shopping gifts for 1-year-olds? Look for toys that help them develop basic motor skills. Push walker toys, for instance, are ideal for when your child is first learning to walk. Not only do they help with balance while in motion, push walkers also feature interactive elements that keep young minds stimulated. If you want something more playful, consider an animal-inspired rocker toy instead.

Gifts for 2-Year-Olds: For children entering toddlerhood, be sure to check out Crate & Kids' gifts for 2-year-olds. Board books and alphabet cards help them get a jump start on learning, while a small Nod Chair gives them the perfect place to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Want them to have a creative outlet? Consider stuffed animals for playtime and toy instruments for more artistic fun.

Gifts for 3-Year-Olds: If your tot's personality is starting to shine through, find gifts for 3-year-olds that complement their interests. Think playhouses that resemble firehouses, campers and greenhouses, as well as indoor hopscotch and bowling for when they have playdates. A chore chart also gives them a head start on basic responsibilities at home.

Gifts for 4-Year-Olds: Similar to their 3-year-old counterparts, gifts for 4-year-olds are a delightful complement to their evolving personality and hobbies. Personalized large Nod Chairs and bean bag chairs give them a place to sit while flipping through favorite picture books or working on their ABCs and 123s via a portable chalkboard. Stuffed animals keep them company while doing so and play tents give children their own place to take a nap.

Gifts for 5-Year-Olds: Ideal for little ones who are just starting school, gifts for 5-year-olds help develop basic reading, math and geography concepts. Easy-reading books about well-known cities and historical figures will pique their interest, as will books featuring the alphabet, colors and numbers. Felt toys, such as pretend food sets and doll diaper bags are ideal for show and tell, and a child-sized chef coat and hat complete their imaginary kitchen.

Gifts for 6-Year-Olds: Older children are sure to love Crate & Kids' gifts for 6-year-olds. Is your little one an aspiring chef? The addition of a kitchen playset helps them master pretend eggs, bacon and waffles, as well as various imaginary pastries with a wooden stand mixer set. A comfortable chef's jacket and hat rounds out the fun. An abundance of easy-read and pop-up books keep their minds stimulated and a hanging canopy gives kids their own space.

Gifts for 7-Year-Olds: Now that your tot is a full-fledged big kid, be sure to peruse the gifts for 7-year-olds. Want to encourage creativity? Give them sidewalk chalk or art clay that allows them to put their artistic know-how on display. Or, go with a wooden makeup set that helps kids be imaginative in a different way. For more active kiddos, an indoor bean bag toss aids them in perfecting their aim and a bowling set their strikes.
