Five is kindergarten age in most US states, and building and drawing start to take over from pretend play. This page leans that way: a big LEGO Classic box, a Crayola case with 140 pieces, a Hot Wheels track with a motorized booster and Kinetic Sand, plus a digital pet for the child who wants something to look after.
