Boys and girls of this age group are gradually moving away from the more babyish toys to more challenging ones. Gift ideas for 8 year old girls should be oriented toward toys which are right for children of that age. While it is true that boys and girls, aged 8 years old, have their own toys, they can also share toys with brothers and sisters.
An example of a shared toy is a classic board game, such as Monopoly, possibly where not only children can take part, but adults as well.
Eight year old girls are moving away, at this age, from dolls and becoming more interested in their appearance. That means they will be interested in make-up and all the accessories that go with it, lip gloss, nail varnish, etc. They would be interested in clothes as well, especially fashionable ones, as they become more self aware at this age.
They will want to be seen wearing the same trendy clothes as their school friends are wearing. Items of jewellery, necklaces, all manor of accessories which can be worn in the hair, also become great gift ideas for 8 year old girls.
While children can differ in their interests and the toys they choose to play with as they grow up, bear in mind that there are some toys, apart from the board game mentioned above, which all children will love to play with together. Video games are one example. At the time of writing WiFi is a popular choice of pastime for 8 year old children.
If your 8 year old children are interested in sports, either as spectators or are actively involved, they will want to wear the right outfit for that sport, which can be quite expensive. But, there are usually cheaper alternatives available either on-line or at your local store, where there are often discounts to be had.
