Christmas gifts for kids ages 5 to 10
Building sets, science kits, art supplies, a scooter and two family games for kids about 5 to 10, listed from the youngest to the oldest. Each pick gives the age rating from its Amazon listing, so you can match it to the child.
Making a list with your kids? Let them pick from this page and tap "Add to my wishlist." Grandparents, aunts and uncles then reserve from the shared link, so nobody buys the same LEGO box twice.
"Add to my wishlist" puts the item on your WishFinch list, with no account needed. If you don't have a list yet, you'll start one. We picked well-reviewed products, mostly from well-known brands, and checked every listing on Amazon on November 6, 2026. We don't show prices because they change daily: "See on Amazon" shows today's.
