What to Look for in Gifts for 10-year-old Girls

Collaboration

Tween girls are developing their social skills and love working together with their friends. The peer group is slowly gaining importance as their place in it becomes a larger part of their self-identity. Whether it's a jewelry-making kit that they can enjoy with their besties or a fun and competitive game they can play with a group, gifts that can be enjoyed in a social setting are a great bet.

Creativity

Ten-year-old girls are often drawn to creative pursuits as they become developmentally capable of both the fine motor skills and executive functioning skills needed to make their ideas come to life. They will likely enjoy projects that involve building, weaving, or otherwise working on an end product that takes time and persistence to complete. That's why more advanced Lego sets, embroidery kits, or weaving kits make great gifts for tweens.

Self-Confidence

As 10-year-old girls mature, they may become more interested in fitting in and it is important for the adults in their lives to help boost their self-confidence at this time. There are many gifts that can help do this.

Cute and colorful hair accessories or purses that make these freshly minted tweens feel mature are one option. You can also promote self-confidence by capitalizing on their deepening cognitive abilities. Games or activities that challenge them intellectually help these girls feel capable and strong.
