Best 10 Gifts And Toys For 9 Year Old Girls In 2018

Nine year old girls are just about to enter the tween years. It is the time when she starts discovering the world outside of her home and her daily life. She explores that world and develops opinions about it. She becomes more social, and her friends become a larger part of her life. In all of this, she is discovering herself and what her place is in the world. You have to take this all into consideration when choosing the best gifts and toys for 9 year old girls. Here are some of the things to consider and be aware of about the 9 year old age range.

Sports and Physical Activities

Nine year olds have developed enough strength and coordination to start enjoying sports and other physical activities. Her participation will still include her family to some degree but, as in many of her interests starting at this stage, it will also increasingly include her friends. So, she will appreciate bicycles, scooters, inline skates, and other sports equipment.

Pay attention to what sports and physical activities she and her friends enjoy and select items that she can use for fun and to enhance her performance. Just remember, before you buy her a professional-grade full gear set-up, that she is still exploring, and her interests may change. However, do not provide her with items that will be detrimental to her potential progress in any activity while you wait to see if she is completely and genuinely interested in that activity. It is easier to resell a quality piece of equipment if her interests change.

 

Kits for Building and Exploring New Areas

As she learns about the world, she will be reading about things that interest her, but she will also have a desire to actively explore. So, kits that she can use to learn how things work are good choices for nine year old girls. These make some of the gifts and toys for 9 year old girls. She may need help with some parts of a kit, but she will want to do most of it herself. If she truly becomes passionate about a subject, she may collect objects related to that subject, including scale models that she has built.

 

Craft Kits

Her desire to create and make things on her own will also lead to an appreciation for craft kits. Completing kits will expand her creativity and give her a feeling of success for completing the project.

 

Taking On Adult Tasks

She will want to become a more active participant in adult tasks, such as doing things around the house, planning family activities, and making decisions about issues that apply to her. This is the time to listen to her, appraise what she can do, let her try, be there to help and support, and explain your reasons when you have to say no or not yet. She may also want to use these tasks to earn money. This is a great time to teach her about money management.

 

Pets

She may start asking for a pet. You need to assess her level of responsibility and explain to her the responsibilities of pet ownership. If you can both agree that she is ready, then a pet could be a possibility.

 

Games That Are Fun but Teach Concepts and Build Skills

She will still be interested in playing games with her family and friends. Games such as Monopoly will teach new concepts like how the business world works, and games such as Scrabble will build vocabulary or other skills. Even computer and video games will teach social skills while providing fun interaction.

 

Friends, Fashion, and Appearance

Nine year old girls will also be focusing on fashion, their appearance, and their friends and peers opinions. This is where you have to make sure that she has developed good self esteem during her explorations and attempts at trying new things. You have to help her understand the healthy way to view and accept herself and others. You also need to help her make any reasonable changes, such as weight loss or contact lenses. Gifts that give her the opportunity to experiment and try new looks will be appreciated.

 

Music

When she was younger songs were fun, but they also taught her the alphabet and other lessons. Now, music is both a personal and a social experience. So any music-related gifts are good, especially those she can share with her friends.

 

Discovering Herself

All of these activities and gifts will be part of the process of her discovering herself, and as she goes through the process, she is likely to record it in a diary and record her thoughts about everything.
