3 Top Picks in Toys for 5 Year Old Girls - 2015 Tried and True Favorites

This past Christmas, quite a number of new toys were released.  As someone who studies and writes about toys, I have found that waiting for the "dust to settle" after the Christmas rush is actually the best time to find which toys among all the new releases have received the best ratings and reviews from consumers - answering this question - "Which toys have stood the test of time?"

Now almost into summer-time, the list of toys for girls at or around age five that stand out are not as difficult to "filter out" or track down.

So - after quite a bit of scouring and researching - I picked 3 among the best toys for 5 year old girls which not only have maintained their position as great-sellers, but look like they will be true favorites for quite a while - and would likely be great gifts for just about any girl this age.

My First Disney Princess Frozen Snow Glow Elsa Singing Doll

Elsa was a mega-hit this year, as was the entirety for the Disney movie, Frozen. So – it should come as no surprise that her dolly likeness is one of the top 3 most creative, awesome toys for 5-year old girly-girls in 2015.

There are dozens of shimmering sparkles and gleaming glitters that give this Elsa an ethereal glow, and she beautifully sings a stunning rendition of ‘Let it Go’ for her newfound friends.

Plus, she wears a shining snowflake around her neck that lights up during the peaks in her song.

Kindle Fire HD Kids’ Tablet

When Amazon released the Kindle Fire, I was beyond excited and that tablet became my go-to for everything. Now, kids can experience that same exhilaration of having all of their favorite movies, books, and music on-hand.

The differences? These Kindle Fire tablets are designed especially for youngsters, as they have parental controls and child-friendly WiFi options.

There are also rubber bumpers around the edges of each tablet, meaning your youngsters can have their dropsy accidents without damaging the screen of their new Kindle.

LeapFrog LeapBand

Fitness is one thing that has always been somewhat of a constant focus in my life, and I do indeed believe that kids should go outside and play as often as possible. Or do some kind of exercise to keep their hearts and minds healthy. Which is why I absolutely LOVE the LeapBand.

This is the first activity tracker to ever be designed especially for kids. There are lots of intriguing, interesting games for youngsters to play – each one challenging enough to match a preset skill level.

As kids complete the activity and exercise missions, those games get tougher, offering fun challenges for kids to feel accomplished about completing.

Houses For Dolls - From Pink to Punk 2012

Monster High - High School Play Set

Kids aren’t satisfied with the traditional cardboard cut-outs that served as dollhouses in the late 80’s. Nor will they settle for a vintage Barbie house. They want more interaction; dream houses with multiple levels, in outrageous colors, with at least 3 functional devices inside. Taking this into account, some of the best toys for 5 year old girls in 2012 have been designed to be engaging, beautiful, and modern. 3 examples of those are…

Monster High -- High School (shown left)

Designed to resemble the HS from the Monster High webisodes, this playset allows little girls to explore the macabre hallways of their favorite monster-tastic teens. The set folds up for easy storage, but folds out to create two stories that include rooms like the mad science classroom, casketball court, and the creepateria. There are also elaborate decals that transform one room into a dance spot, complete with DJ booth for pumped up tunes. MH dolls are sold separately.

Disney Princess Songs Palace

Little People Disney Princess Songs Palace from Fisher Price

This writer’s initial reaction was, “That’s so cute!” FP’s Little People transforms the traditional Snow White and Cinderella into pint-sized beauties with smiling faces. The multi-level castle features 7 palace play areas where princesses can be “plugged into” portals, making them twirl and sing their trademark songs from the Disney movies. Decked out in extravagant furnishing and colored with pink and purple, this palace can accommodate any of the Disney Little People figurines.

Barbie Sisters Cruise Ship

Barbie and her sisters need a break from their busy lives and multiple careers. What better way to spend their vacation than on a pink-tinged cruise? A glamorous way to set sail, this ship features a 2-slide swimming pool with dolphin fountain accents outdoors; plus, a ton of fun accessories for the multi-leveled indoors.
