Girls age 10-13 can be a tough age group to buy for.  They aren’t kids, but they aren’t in full “teen mode” yet.  I’ve learned that you can pretty much never go wrong with crafts or toys that involve creating something.

Top 10 Gifts for Girls Age 10-13

Hasbro Nerf Rebelle Flipside Bow
retails for $24.99
Bow and arrows have become a big item for teens over the past couple of years.  A Nerf bow is definitely a safer alternative.  The Flipside bow has 2 five-dart drums that flip around for 10-dart fast blasting. Pull the string back and release it to send a dart flying through the air up to 80 feet.  A plus is that this bow looks really cool and your tweenage girls are going to love it.

LEGO Belle’s Enchanted Castle
retails for $49.99
In case you’ve been out of the loop lately… Beauty and the Beast (live-action) is being released next year.  We’re only going to be seeing even more Beauty and the Beast toys and you can’t go wrong with them.  The playset features all of our favorite areas of the beast’s castle.  Includes 2 mini-doll figures: Belle and transforming Beast/Prince, plus Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Babette, Wardrobe and Stove.

PaperPunk Ape

Shrinky Dinks 2D Butterfly Lights will be the perfect decoration in your girl’s room.  The fun part is that she’ll get to make them herself.  She can color and shrink her butterflies and attach them to the battery operated string of lights. With the custom colors she chooses, she can make the right atmosphere for her room.

Ann William’s Group Craft Crush Stencil Scarf
retails for $16.99
I’m not going to lie, I kind of want this one for myself.  If you have a fashionista crafter on your list, this is perfect.  The kit includes a scarf, two fabric markers, card stock stencils and embroidery thread.  They can fringe it, style it, and make something that they’ll love wearing.

Dune Craft Libby Lavender Terrarium

IDO3D Vertical Five Pen Art Set with 3D Vertical Light
retails for $29.99
I got to take a look at a 3D pen at a toy conference I went to last year and, wow… it was seriously cool.  Your little artists can make whatever their heart desires.  Moving cars, animals, buildings, it’s endless.  Draw straight up into the air and the light will dry the pen’s creation instantly.

The kids will be able to enjoy hours of educational fun learning about electronics while developing analytical and problem solving skills.  One of my favorite things about this kit is that no tools are required!  The world seems to only be introducing more and more electronics, so what a good skill for your kids to have!  Snap together electrical components designing and building models of working electrical circuits.
