Looking for gift ideas for 5 year olds and you want it to be an instant hit? Try giving them something they can play with right away. A toy that requires assembly, such as a puzzle or a dollhouse, is sure to be appreciated. You could also buy them a craft kit or a board game. These types of toys help teach children important life skills, such as problem solving and patience.

When we launched Zanypig a couple of years ago, we knew including STEM toys in our range was very important to us. Now it’s one of our largest categories and includes many of our best sellers, including maths board games and educational toys. Little did we know then how important STEM toys would become in 2020 and into 2021. With the onset of Covid and the advent of mass home-schooling, educational toys are growing in popularity.
