Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best educational toys for a 4 year old boy?

At Wicked Uncle we have uncovered and tested some of the best toys which are both fun and educational. Whether it is robots, dinosaurs, microscopes, or construction kits, we have some of the best, most fun educational toys around!

What is the average height of a 4 year old boy?

The average height for a four year old boy is around 3ft 4.5 inches. It's important to bare in mind that children's heights can vary a lot plus they go through stages of growth spurts.

What is the best birthday gift for a 4 year old boy?

Boys at this age are increasing in their dexterity and so toys that help foster this are perfect. We have kits to make robots, games of musical freeze, rockets that they power themselves, and remote controlled gadgets. Our toys are fun for everyone and help kids learn more skills. Don't forget we can gift wrap and send directly to the birthday boy himself!

What is a typical 4 year old boy like?

Four year old boys are an energetic bunch. It seems like they're always on the move! At this age, they're eager to try new things, and they have lots of energy. (More than we do!). Gifts that get them outdoors and active, like stomp rockets and sports equipment, will always go over well. (Their tired parents will thank you!)
At four, most children enjoy singing, rhyming, and making up words. And they love to be silly! Help nurture their bright little minds with toys that are engaging and creative, like craft sets, musical instruments, and building blocks.

A typical four year old knows about 1,500 words. This is enough to answer simple questions and express their feelings, and it prepares them for phonics in kindergarten. But learning to read can be hard work! Do what you can to keep him enthusiastic about books. Read aloud from stories he'll find interesting, including non-fiction and books with more adventurous vocabularies. (Just maybe not 'War & Peace'. Save that for his fifth birthday.)

Four is sometimes called the "magic year" - partly because it seems like magic that they're finally in preschool and listening to grown-ups, and partly because it's the age where their imaginations start to run wild! It's common for kids this age to develop imaginary friends. This is a sign of a healthy imagination, and it can be a lot of fun to watch. Help them make believe with 'play pretend' toys - just don't be surprised if you have to buy a second toy for their imaginary friend!

Always Good Choices for Gifts and Reliable Service

I honestly haven't ever seen the products I've purchased because they're all for my young niece who doesn't live in my state.She's loved everything I've gotten for her, that much I know! I've ordered from Wicked Uncle at least 4 or 5 times and the gifts go out right away and the wrapping is great. I like that you can choose an age and get appropriate suggestions for that age.
