Product Information

If [your child] likes science, some of the Galt Science sets are perfect for that age. My five-year-old loved the rainbow science set (largely colour mixing and crystals) and the bubble set.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Equimum) Our verdict The Barbie Day to Night Dream House is the ultimate in doll houses. Standing 43 inches tall and 41 inches wide, it has three floors, 10 living areas, a pool and a slide. Even the puppies have their own play area and pool! There are many options to choose from, but we like the LOL Colour Change Pets collection - each character comes with five surprises to unbox. To start the fun colour change feature, feed the pet water from its bottle and place the bubble stopper in. Twirl, shake and see the sparkly hair come to life. My son liked the Botley Coding Robot at that age - slightly more expensive but often [included in] offers.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Littlestpogo) Our verdict My son is nearly five and is really into Playmobil at the moment. I got him the Playmobil catalogue and he loves looking through it and asks for almost everything but I can see by his level of excitement which his favourites are.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user User64323) Our verdict

This Hape set is made from brightly coloured birch and rubber wood - making it one of the best toys for 5 year olds in terms of sustainability and longevity. We love the addition of the spinning windmill and spiral feature, the latter causing marbles to spin in tight circles before dropping down the shoot. Children can sit on the gingham picnic blanket and set up a feast for two with its wooden flask, cups and plates and serve sandwiches, fruit and cake for you both to enjoy. At five years old, children still get so much out of pretend play - they can use their new reading and writing skills to write a menu, add prices to the food or set up a teddy bear’s picnic. Orchard Toys are hugely popular among Mumsnet users and it’s not hard to see why. This game combines magic and numbers to make sums fun, even for the most maths-averse of children. While there are plenty of fun maths games on the market, Magic Maths has been designed by teachers specifically for KS1. It helps to develop their numeracy and social skills whilst inspiring their imagination.

With larger expansion sets available, there’s no end to the fun that can be had playing with marble runs, learning some valuable skills in the process.Orchard [Toys] games are great and are educational too: Pop to the Shops, Magic Maths, Shopping List and Match and Spell.” (Recommended by Mumnset user BEE08) Our verdict With easy-to-follow picture-based instructions, this expansive set includes a barn, greenhouse, tractor with trailer and loads of accessories, helping five-year-olds act out a wide range of fun role-play scenarios set on their very own farm. Children will love the independence of bringing their creations to life, with the freedom to follow each step without adult assistance. The Galt science set is one of the best toys for 5 year olds to encourage STEM learning. Other popular kits include Slimy Lab and Space Lab and Rainbow Lab.

Dobble is a rarity in the world of board games. Your whole family will love playing it too, which is why we think it’s one of the best toys for 5 year olds. Five-year-olds will probably need some assistance with the experiments and we'd recommend taking it outside to avoid spills and limit clean-up. Some verified reviewers say there isn’t enough bubble solution inside the kit, so you may also want some extra on standby.
