...And then your little one turned 4! Steadily on their way to get ready for “big school” in a year or two, they have learned how to hop, draw shapes and how to use a more versatile vocabulary. 


At this stage, their toys might need a shakeup as they master new skills and get ready to take on new challenges. Luckily, help is at hand - here’s our handy list of the best toys for 4-year-olds to help you and your child make the most of playtime!

#1. Car and truck fun

Playing with toy cars that mimic the real thing offers loads of opportunity for real-life play. Classic in every sense, this brightly painted set of three wooden vehicles includes a taxi, a London bus and an iconic racing green car. It is sure to delight your child as they zoom and zip across the floor.

#2. Wooden sensory blocks

Your child is without a doubt learning about shapes and their names – so, treat them to a lovely sensory block set that adds an element of fun and colour to their learning.

This set includes 16 large hardwood blocks containing beads, transparent acrylic, coloured sand and water/glitter filled pockets in 4 different shapes (square, rectangle, triangle and semicircle). It offers a variety of learning experiences and is designed for hours of fun!

#3. Bamboo build and construct set

All 4-year-olds love to build and create their own little structures - so, treat them with our bamboo build and construct set! The play opportunities with this delightful build and construct set are endless.

#5. B is for balance bike
