30 Gifts for 8-Year-Old Girls Who Will Rule The World

What’s the difference between a meteor and an 8-year-old girl? Eventually, the meteor will crash into something and stop. But little girls are just as bright, fast, and awesome as a shooting star, and — when encouraged properly — they’ll just keep going on and on bouncing from idea to idea, interest to interest. Being the adult in their life may be exhausting, but if you can keep up, their enthusiasm and wonder are contagious.

We’ve gathered a great assortment of books, STEM projects, games, and toys that encourage creative play and that they’re also sure to love… even if they don’t know they love it yet. Because that’s the other great thing about 8-year-old girls (as if we could count everything!): They’re open to new ideas, adventures, and games. So who knows, this gift might be something that sparks a new interest or passion!
