Best Toys for 4 Year Olds in 2024 in the Science category

Four is fabulous! It is such a great age, full of wonder, excitement and saying everything you think of out loud when you think of it. Four year olds soak everything up around them from adding new words to their expanding vocabulary to learning to master everyday tasks such as buttoning, zippering and brushing. If you’re searching for the perfect gift for the four year old in your life or are looking to add engaging toys to a pre-kindergarten classroom, Fat Brain Toys has you covered with our comprehensive list of the best toys for four year olds.

Sure four is fabulous, but every toy isn't ideal for a four year old. With typical manufacturer suggested age ranges, it can be hard to know if a toy is a good fit for a four year old. You want something that will challenge a four year old's developing young mind as well as one that ignites his or her imagination. However, you don't want the toy to be too hard or to be too babyish. That's why we worked hard to compile our list of top toys for four year olds.

From active toys like the Teeter Popper that work on gross motor skills and engaging toys that get developing hands working like Squigz, Fat Brain Toy's best toys for four year olds collection has it all. Simply head to the shop by age icon and click on those fabulous fours and explore our collection of Top Toy Picks for four year olds. Whether it is for a fourth birthday party, fourth Christmas, Hanukkah, Valentine's Day or because four is such an incredibly fun and inquisitive age, you will find the perfect four year old gift at Fat Brain Toys.

We offer a flat shipping rate of $4.99 on most orders as well as same day shipping if you order before 3 p.m. CT. Remember four really is fabulous even when your four year old tells it like it is to everyone in the grocery store checkout line.
