Preschooler gift guide, coming in hot! I rounded up my absolute favorites and scoured the reviews to bring you the best Christmas gifts for preschoolers!
Some of the things on the list were also on my Toddler Gift Guide list because my bigger kids (ages 5 and 7) still play with them, so they’re good for preschoolers, too.
Like the toddler gift guide, I’m opting to only recommend toys, books and stuff that I think you’ll truly use for years to come.
In this preschooler Christmas gift guide, I have a mix of fun and practical – yes, I’m totally THAT MOM who gifts essentials like markers or toothpaste – it’s all in the presentation ;).

Here are 80+ gift ideas for preschoolers for Christmas – check out my favorites!
Best Gifts for Preschoolers
1 // Colored Domino Set
These could be used about a million different ways + love that they’re wood.
2 // White Paper Rolls
ALWAYS stocking up on craft supplies here – looks fun wrapped under the tree :).
12 // Reusable Sticker Pads
These are easy enough for littles to manipulate themselves + reusable is key!
23 // Warmies
I’m generally anti-stuffed animal but bought one of these for each of my kids last year and they’re so loved – microwavable to act as a heating ‘pad’ + they can go in the freezer as a little ‘cold pack’ too. So many cute animal options too!
25 // Helmet
Whether they’re scootering or biking or even riding on an adult bike (or behind one), a helmet is a must!
26 // Karaoke Microphone
Against my better judgement, I’m grabbing one of these for my kids this year.
28 // Bounce House
This thing is worth its weight in gold, especially this year. We have ours in the basement and its fantastic for a rainy day + when it’s gross outside. My kids (3-8) all play on this!
30 // Princess Read Book
Emmy (3) LOVES this set – the little ‘tablet’ reads the books to her when she presses thee corresponding button. Keeps her busy for like an hour!
32 // Rocking Balance Board
I ordered this for my littles – great for balance and imagination – “whatever you imagine it to be – a swing, a bridge, a shop, a cabin, a stepping stone, a racetrack, a lounge chair, fitness equipment, a puppet, a small football goal, a teeter popper…” – ok sold!
34 // Toy Kitchen
We’ve had this kitchen for a few years and the quality is great, it’s not obnoxiously ugly, and kids of all ages love it.
35 // Osmo Kit
I don’t actually own this yet but considering it – “This kit features Osmo’s bestselling Little Genius Starter Kit and select early learning games. Practice early reading, number recognition, shapes, and even social-emotional skills while interacting with on-screen characters and physical game pieces.”
*Exact set can be found HERE
36 // Foldable TeePee
A great fun FOLDABLE teepee that comes with twinkle lights + a mat for inside at a super reasonable price!
38 // Slippers
These are SO stinkin cute – I have them for Emmy and they come in pink, purple, grey + ivory.
39 // Play Cleaning Set
The quintessential toddlere/preschooler toy – just getting them primed for real chores someday ;). This is something all my kids will occasionally circle back to.
43 // Personalized Plate
I have these for each of my kids and they’ve held up well so far with regular washing in the dishwasher. TONS of personalization options!
44 // Quiet Busy Book
This is a must for us – I got it before a road trip and the moments of silence are #worthit. Machine washable, too.
45 // 20 Pack of Hair Bows
This set of bows is SO good – looks so high end but the price is ridiculously low and the colors are great.
46 // Tempura Paint Sticks
These seem like a hot mess but they’re actually great and my kids love using them.
48 // Alphabet Legends Book
These are so cute and there are SO MANY OPTIONS (hockey, Seinfeld, country music, fashion, etc) for these Alphabet books.
49 // Cub Balance Bike
The cutest balance bike for littles. We had one for Coop and the quality is great.
50 // Webbed Swing
This is a super fun swing for outside – ours hangs from a tree but you could also attach to a swingset.
52 // Bilibo
My kids got these last year and while they don’t use them daily, I definitely think they were a good buy! Good for balance and imagination.
56 // Decorate Your Own Squishies Kit
Every kid loves Squishies and this kit adds a crafting element.
57 // Kiwi Crate
LOVE Kiwi Crates for age appropriate learning STEAM activities delivered to your door – get 30% off your first month through my link
58 // Family Photo Matching Game
You can have this matching game custom made with your own photos. Doing this for Emmy this year!
60 // 4 Pack of Puzzles
This set of puzzles is SO good – my kids love it.
Best Stocking Stuffers for Preschoolers
6 // Jelly Clips
So many options on these bubble jelly hair clips and they’re from a mom-owned small shop.
7 // Goldfish Swim School Lessons
Swimming lessons are a great gift + life skill. We love Goldfish – they’re a franchise and might be in your area, too!
9 // Aaron’s Thinking Putty
This stuff is worth the $$! Coop has some and the UV light ‘draws’ on the putty.
10 // Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Having a water bottle is essential to not having to get 2557735 cups of water daily + no spills. Tons of color options, too!
14 // Spot It Game
This is a little “spot the difference” game with perfect reviews + it’s meant to develop focus, visual perception skills, speech language skills, and fine motor skills.
15 // Water Wow Coloring Books
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these – even my big kids love these. The included refillable water pen ‘colors’ the pages and then they dry and repeat!
21 // Kids Electric Toothbrush
These came in the kids stockings last year and they LOVE them – rechargeable and electric toothbrushes do a better job cleaning teeth, too. Built in timer too!
