At five children are still so inquisitive and full of wonder. At five we started buying less toys and more materials or tools for learning and creating. Shadow puppets are on my wish list for Caspar and while researching this post I ordered a Sunprint Kit. This post contains some affiliate links and I have included US and Australian suppliers where possible. Thank you again to Neptune for the suggestion of the Cuboro - that's on my wish list too!

I still have one gift idea list left to write and that is for one year olds. I hope you've enjoyed this series!
