There are so many great gifts for kids in the “big kid” age group (for our purposes, I’m talking about kids in elementary school and maybe into middle school), but it can be so hard to sift through all the options. Kids this age like making things, building things, and playing games that are age-appropriate. I’ve rounded up 20 of the best gifts for big kids (at least in my opinion!), and all of these are available on Amazon!
If nothing on this list jumps out, you can check out last year’s gift guide for elementary school kids!
Southern Savers 2023 Gift Guides | Best Gifts for Big Kids
This was a big hit with some of my daughters this year. It’s great for kids who don’t have phones to still be able to take pictures!
Elmer’s Squishies Kids’ Activity Kit
Squishies are all the rage, and this one includes two special mystery ones.
Squishmallows have been a top gift for the last several years in this age group, so combining it with Bluey makes for an awesome choice!
Head to your store to look for these Target unadvertised deals! This week at my store I found almond milk for $1.49 and more.
