The time has come for The Ultimate Preschooler Gift Guide for the Holiday Season! Whether your preschooler loves to play, has a creative streak, or simply enjoys exploring, we’ve got something in our holiday guide just for them! Take a look at Amanda’s top picks and support small businesses this holiday season! Below you’ll see a mix of items from Etsy and Amazon.

Gifts for the Creative Preschooler
You can never go wrong with awesome tie dye crayons and a Hollydog coloring book! Customize your crayons with your child’s name, then let their creativity soar while coloring in 40 illustrations of our best friend, Hollydog! Not only are these gifts super fun, but they help your little ones build fine motor skills! Did I mention those super sparkly dog bone stickers build pincher strength? I love all the stickers from Glitter XO Designs!
Fun Preschool Games
Check out great games you can play with your little ones, including fun play foam and magnetic tiles that build fine motor skills and hand strength! I personally played Yeti in my Spaghetti with my niece and nephew and we all loved it! I also played Twister Junior which was a huge hit and Don’t Break the Ice has gotten great reviews.
The Ultimate Gifts for Let’s Play Pretend!
What is the most important thing for our preschoolers to do? That’s right, play! I love Aunt Mel’s Diner, where you can find almost any type of pretend food. Check out cookies, pizza, even ice-cream sandwiches and goldfish! The superhero cape is so colorful and fun! Get your cape, mask, and arm bands! Being a dog lover, I had to include the most amazing vet set! Personalize your vet bag with you own name!
Keep the pretend play going with a cute wooden register complete with coins and bear money, a fabulous unicorn headband, and customizable wooden tool set!
Tea Party Essentials!
When it comes to having a tea party, look no further! We’ve got all the essentials! Grab yourself a customizable tea set that will last you for many parties. Next, get your pretend tea bags and pretend macaroons. You will have by far the best tea party in town!
The Best Books for Preschool
I have personally read and love each of these three books! The illustrations in each book are unique and engaging, plus I love the main characters. Each book has a positive message and encourages your little ones to be brave. Shy Willow, Negative Cat, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas all make for great Christmas gifts!
The Best Plush Animal Preschool Gifts
I LOVE these three picks for a stuffed animal gift! The cotton, handmade woodland creatures are amazing! They are super cute and can also be customized. I am obsessed with the pocket worry creatures! Chose from a variety of animals and bring your tiny creature with you when you travel, go to preschool, or head out on an adventure! Finally, the squishy stuffies are always a huge hit! They are super soft and bonus, they can be customized too!
Stocking Stuffers Sure to Bring Joy!
Check out some great stocking stuffers that will make Christmas morning exciting! I love the magic play dough mini kits! Pick from a variety of themes and make playdough time even more fun! Of course, I have to have Pop It’s on the list. Every preschooler in the world loves Pop It’s. We can’t forget about Christmas ornaments! The Crazy Ornament Lady has everything you need to personalize your preschooler’s perfect ornament!
Big Ticket Items
These big ticket items are over 100 dollars each. Keep an eye on these products for November sales! Ok, first I don’t think you can possibly go wrong with an American Girl doll. Obviously, the historical dolls are my favorites! Next, there’s the Tonibox! I predict that this will be the hottest gift of the season. Your Tonibox plays music and stories, with little characters that fit onto its top. Finally, preschool is a great time to learn to ride a bike!
The Most Popular Picks of the Season (so far!)
These are some of the most popular picks of the season, so far. A cute karaoke machine can foster your little one’s love of singing! Gabby’s Dollhouse is a super popular pick this season. My niece wants one for Christmas! Finally, the customizable dino night light is an awesome was to light up your little one’s bedroom!
