Finding great gifts for children has never been easier when you shop online. The range of toys available is astounding and makes shopping for kids one of the easiest tasks ever. Whether you are looking for a wonderful gift for a boy or girl, newborn or teenager, you can find it quickly and within your budget.   

Many toys are age appropriate and since online retailers often categorize children’s items according to specific age groups, it makes it much easier to shop. If you know the age of the child you are shopping for, you can focus your toy search in a particular category.    

Newborns and Babies 0-12 Months

A new baby means all kinds of firsts. The first toys for baby should be designed to meet the needs and peak the interest of the tiny little one. Colourful, sturdy and stimulating toys are especially appropriate for children in this age category. There is a wide variety to choose from online that meet all these needs and more.  

For the newborn, one of the most popular gifts is the Butterfly Activity Quilt that was created just for babies. It is just $45.00 and includes a mirror, a variety of textured surfaces and bright colourful pattern. It is perfect for baby to lie on and take in the wonderful stimulating activities. For Mum, it is machine washable too!  

Brand new little bundles of joy will need a fine array of rattles and teethers. Get a complete set of 10 at a very reasonable price of $16.90. Baby will never tire of the many shapes, sounds and designs included in the gift set. This is a wonderful gift for a boy or a girl infant.  

Beatrix Potter is an enduring favourite for baby gift giving. With a huge selection of products online, finding one for the new addition is simple. The Jemima Puddleduck Pull Along at $ 39.00 is sure to be a winning choice.    

Toddler 12-24 Months

The toddler is at an age where discovery and movement are important factors in deciding which toy would be the most appropriate gift. Online retailers have this age group in mind with a whole assortment of toys for children aged 1-2 years.  

Hand puppets are an excellent choice for children in this age group. They love a puppet show or may want to take over themselves with individual play. The Alligator Hand Puppet with Sound for $25.00 is an interesting and will provide hours of fun for any toddler. Or the Dragon Hand Puppet for the same price is another good gift option.  

Since toddlers are very much involved in movement both in their toys and because many are now learning to walk, the toys that they want incorporate these things. The Little Tykes Shopping Cart offers a moveable cart with an array of pretend food accessories available separately.  

The First Steps Baby Walker at $99.00 is a truly amazing toddler gift as it can be used to help the child master walking and also have a number of mini-activities built in. There are numbers, shapes, animals, colours and other devices to stimulate new learning.    

Pre-Schoolers 3-6 years Old

Children aged 3-6 absolutely love to try out new things. They are curious and adventurous as they begin to explore the world around them. They prefer toys that allow them to try out all sorts of activities and enjoy the sense of accomplishment that goes with it.  

Puzzles made for children in this age group are well received as gifts. As the pieces are usually made larger and there are fewer in a complete puzzle, it allows the pre-schooler to work at the task with success and satisfaction. Starting at $15.95, they would be perfect as a gift and are available right now for online purchase.  

Most pre-schoolers and those just starting school are very interested in books. They are now learning numbers and letters and the content in children’s books for this age is very appealing. All sorts of cartoon characters and stories come to life as they see the colourful pictures and some even have sound too.  

School Age Children 7-12  

While many people think that finding a gift for children in this age category may be difficult, when you shop online there are many choices that are most age appropriate. Children enjoy games, learning toys and are often into computers and other tech toys.  

A Family Games Compendium for only $29.00 would be an excellent gift. It includes a variety of classic board games from Tiddlywinks to chess. Social activity is fun as the children may enjoy the games with friends or family.  

Construction toys are always favourites and a Meccano set for starting at $39.95 would be a great gift for a school age boy or a Bead Jewellery set for girls at only $24.95 can provide hours of fun. Fun with imagination and skill are both benefits of these kinds of toys.    

Teens 13-17 Years Old Teenagers are interested in toys that are somewhat unlike those that appeal to younger children. They are growing older and appreciate more mature gifts that reflect their teenage attitudes and interests.  

Toys that teach are very popular with younger teenagers. These may include science or tech toys that allow them to explore and learn more advanced concepts. A microscope set for only $ 30.00 may be a fitting gift for a child who is into scientific adventures and theory.  

Other teenagers would love their own pinball machine. The bright, flashing lights and the challenge may be very appealing to them. At $109.00, it would make a super gift.  

Electronic handheld games are wildly popular in this age group and would be a most welcome and appreciated gift. Teenagers are very attracted to these kinds of toys and can sit and play them for quite extended periods of time. Purchase them online as low as $12.99!
