25 Gifts and Toys for 10-Year-Old Girls

These Micromallows bring a 10-year-old Squishmallows collector a fresh batch of characters for her growing set.

She picks which character comes along to a sleepover and which ones stay home with her collection.

Not ready for a hamster?

A Tamagotchi Original puts a digital creature in her care, a good fit if she feeds the goldfish without being reminded. Its needs pop up through the day, so the pet rides along in her backpack for check-ins at recess.

Lights out is when this Ravensburger Eiffel Tower earns its place on her nightstand.

She builds the 3D puzzle herself, and after the lamp clicks off, the finished Paris landmark glows softly in the dark, its outline easy to make out from her pillow.

Recess trades start with bands she knots at home on this Choose Friendship loom.

Learning the knot pattern takes a few tries, so expect some do-overs on the early bands.

Coding puzzles come off the screen and onto the table with this Osmo kit.

It needs a compatible iPad or Fire tablet connected to the internet, so check yours before buying.

A miniature record player from MGA's Miniverse becomes the centerpiece of her bookshelf collection.

It is a display piece, so keep it up on a shelf, out of reach of younger siblings.

When you want a present that gets her out the front door, the Razor A5 gives her wheels of her own.

Kids her age want to reach a friend's house without a parent driving, and a scooter covers that trip. Her quickest route to that friend's door becomes a record she keeps beating.

These UGG Funkette slippers give a 10-year-old with cold feet a pair from a brand she knows.

She pulls them on before breakfast and shuffles from her room to the kitchen table. Check her shoe size first, so the pair you order fits.

This Klutz LEGO Gravity Drop kit lets a girl who redesigns her brick models build a contraption, then remake it her way.

Old enough to follow her own plans, she swaps a section and checks whether the new layout works.

Marble tracks sprawl across her bedroom floor with this Fat Brain Toys course builder.

Loose marbles can roll off the track, so a play area away from younger siblings works best.

Library hold lists move slower than she reads.

This Kindle keeps a whole series in one reader, with the next volume ready to open. A cliffhanger right before bedtime means the following book opens that same night, its cover showing in color on the screen.

Side paths tempt her more than the main quest in any game she plays, and this Zelda adventure offers a huge world to wander, with plenty to find off the trail.

One thing to confirm first: this edition plays only on a Nintendo Switch 2.

Quick word rounds with TAPPLE get the whole family shouting answers across the table after dinner.

It runs on two AA batteries, so keep a spare pair in the game drawer.

This Ravensburger Mischief Makers jigsaw puzzle gives a girl who likes slow, quiet projects a picture to build.

Its maker labels it for ages 9 and up, so she sorts edges and sections herself. Cousins and grown-ups can stop by the card table and fit a few pieces too.

Spot It! gives a 10-year-old girl a fast race she can start with friends at a moment's notice.

She deals the round herself and calls out each match as soon as she sees it. At recess the deck comes out of her backpack for a few rounds before the bell.

Bubble letters across her weekly planner pages come to life with Crayola Clicks markers.

She may go through favorite colors fast, so a spare set makes a handy refill later.

Headbands she decorates herself become part of her school-day outfits with this Pretty Me kit.

Decorating takes a steady hand and some patience, so set her up at a table with good light.

This Make It Real clay and spin-art kit suits a girl who makes homemade presents for friends.

She chooses the craft that matches her mood, then plans who gets each finished piece. A swirly print slips into a birthday card, and a clay piece sits on a friend's shelf.

Squidge from Fuggler's Laboratory Misfits rides in her backpack as a deliberately weird mascot for the school week.

Its odd look is the point, so it lands best if she prefers silly over sweet.

Stuffed hot dogs from What Do You Meme? hand the class clown a snack-shaped joke she can squeeze.

She lines them up on her shelf and picks which one rides along in her backpack. A friend can borrow one for the day, then hand it back.

Juggling suits a kid who never sits still.

This Klutz book breaks the skill into small steps she can practice in her bedroom, and since plenty of drops come before the pattern clicks, counting catches before each drop sets a number to beat each time she picks the book back up.

Smile by Raina Telgemeier gives a comics-loving girl a graphic novel she can read on her own.

She can finish it in an afternoon on the couch. Afterward, it is easy to lend to a friend at school.

Out of My Mind gives a girl ready for meatier chapter books a novel by Sharon M.

Draper. She can read it during quiet time at home, a few pages a night. Afterward, it gives her plenty to talk over with classmates reading it too.
