Prior to this age, many kids pretend to cook meals in a toy kitchen, but at 9 they may be able to follow a recipe and prepare a real home-cooked meal.</p><p>When it comes to presents, you might consider giving kids this age more adult art projects and grown-up toys and tools. Real tools can increase engagement with a hobby and are likely to last longer than their toy counterparts. Most 9-year-olds are also deepening their friendships and spending more time socializing with other kids, so sports equipment and games that encourage group fun can be good choices too.</p><p>We asked child-development experts and members of our staff for gift recommendations.

The frame is a sturdy green metal; the loops, made from recycled cotton, come in 12 bright colors. You use a long metal weaving hook to thread the loops across the grid, and there’s a smaller crochet hook to finish off the edges (here’s a helpful YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcoHvf3TgYI" rel="noopener" target="_blank">tutorial</a>).

to ease anxiety, stress, or boredom. My daughters like wearing fidget rings as part of their school fit (that’s the lingo for school outfit), giving them the ability to spin it discreetly anytime it’s needed.

And Wirecutter has multiple detailed guides to help you navigate them, including our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/board-games-we-love/">guide to the best board games</a> and <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/board-games-for-kids/">board games we love for kids and families</a>. But sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a tried-and-true classic. <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/53103/185477/4/152621/?merchant=Amazon" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="7" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/53103/185477/4/152621/?merchant=Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-gtm-context="chapter_family-pursuit" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pid="53103" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/53103/185477/4/152621/?merchant=Amazon">Trivial Pursuit Family Edition</a>, for one, has managed to pass my household’s ultimate test: the tri-generation game night. Like the original version, this edition requires players to travel around the board, answering questions on a variety of topics and earning different-color pie pieces along the way. But the Family Edition has made some clever, peace-keeping tweaks. There are two decks of question cards, one for adults and one for kids, with corresponding levels of difficulty. (Don’t worry: The junior questions aren’t total giveaways.) And the rules have been adjusted to speed up and shorten the proceedings, resulting in less interminable rolling, fewer sagging moments, and—in our experience—more chipper attitudes (across all ages) when the winner is crowned.</p><p class="alignright">—<em>Ingela Ratledge Amundson</em></p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="the-gift-of-print"><h2 class="e823fba7"

pages over and over again. Illustoria (a collaboration between <a href="https://store.mcsweeneys.net/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">McSweeney’s</a> and <a href="https://www.youthwriting.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The International Alliance of Youth Writing Centers</a>) is a visual feast, with a focus on storytelling through art and literature. In addition to crafts and art projects, Illustoria presents stories through comics and profiles illustrators, artists, and makers. The cover of the award-winning Kazoo trumpets that it’s “a magazine for girls.” But themes like “Steampunk” and “Magnificent Mistakes”—as well as delightful stories, project ideas, and activities—could appeal to young readers of any gender. (We used to also recommend Bravery, which is devoted to female role models, but it is no longer publishing new issues; you may be able to find it in a local library.) These publications are bursting with creative ideas and inspiration, and they weave messages of compassion and inclusivity into their content.</p><p class="alignright"><em>—Winnie Yang</em></p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container" data-scp="removed"><div class="e5d43c70"><p class="cca4d3b6">Advertisement</p><a href="#after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6" class="css-777zgl">SKIP ADVERTISEMENT</a><div class="ad dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6-wrapper css-rfqw0c" id="dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div><div id="after-dfp-ad-chapter-mid-6"></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="a-locked-diary"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="a-locked-diary-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="A locked diary" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="9">A locked diary</h2><div id="a-locked-diary-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="a-locked-diary" aria-hidden="false"><div class="ebb615ab global-cob e1e566ad" data-scp="callout"><div id="callout-chapter-7-22" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="65494"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="65494"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="65494"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="65494" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/65494/Mudpuppy-T-Rex-Locked-Diary_20241022-170407_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mudpuppy T-Rex Locked Diary" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="7" data-pid="65494" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Mudpuppy T-Rex Locked Diary</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This diary is latched shut with a small metal lock and comes with two keys.</p><div class="dded66b7" data-testid="buy-product-box"><div data-scp="removed"><h4 class="efa3259d">Buying Options</h4><div class="b279b202 product-pricebox-0" data-source-id-order="0" data-country-code="US"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" class="b50e01ee" data-gtm-element="callout_buy_button_impression" data-link-type="button" data-merchant="Amazon" data-pick-type-id="7" data-pid="65494" data-store="Amazon" data-vars-store="Amazon" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/65494/208208/4/199451?merchant=Amazon" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-gtm-context="inline" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_button"><span>$10</span> from <span>Amazon</span></a><p class="ab4df9c8">May be out of stock</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p>I have fond memories of jotting down deep secrets into a journal as a child, and I coveted a friend’s locked diary (which she brought to school and baited everyone with, but that’s another story).

Shutterfly will print any digital photo on a high-quality board. The 252-piece version seems particularly fitting for a budding puzzle aficionado (the puzzles come in four sizes, including a 1,014-piece challenge for serious jigsaw showdowns). You can squeeze up to 17 different photos into one puzzle, and you may choose from dozens of templates and frames to get just the look you’re after. I gave my parents one of these a few years ago, using a group photo of our extended family. They were only mildly interested, but my nieces and nephews could hardly wait to piece together and disassemble their family’s faces every time we reunited.</p><p class="alignright"><em>—Caitlin

family game night. (It’s a favorite in Wirecutter’s guide to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/board-games-for-kids/">best board games for kids</a>.) Players select tiles that show different terrains (water, forest, fields) and align them to create a kingdom grid. The rules are few and fairly simple: A tile must connect to another tile with the same terrain type, and the grid must remain a certain size. But the quick pace, the dynamic game structure (the order in which players select new tiles constantly changes), and the need for complex decision-making make this game a challenging puzzle.</p><p

(there’s only one rule). It starts off simple but gets devilishly more difficult after the first few moves, so it’s a great activity for 9-year-olds who relish game-based challenges. Players must set their Tetris-shaped pieces adjacent to<em>—</em>but not touching any sides of<em>—</em>another piece of the same color on a large gridded board. (The pieces can touch the sides of other colors, however.) Blokus gets increasingly challenging as the board fills with red, blue, green, and yellow tiles, and players try to trap one another in corners. After the first few games, my daughter learned to plan ahead strategically so she could squeeze in the last remaining pieces for a well-earned victory. Lisa Regalla, former head of onsite and digital experiences at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, in Sausalito, California, recommended Blokus to us. Regalla said this is a fun game that also helps develop spatial reasoning skills, though it may not be appropriate for kids who get easily frustrated while handling tiny pieces.</p><p

several years, was not originally purchased as a gift for a third-grader. I initially bought this as a high school graduation gift, thinking it would make a fun dorm-room extra. When it suffered a severe (and rare!) shipping delay, I instead added it to the pile of presents for my family’s holiday Yankee swap. Then my own kid messed up the adult/kid Yankee swap gift ratio by stealing the popper away during a heated final round. It’s hard to imagine that anyone else could love it more. At 9, my son could make his own fluffy, buttered popcorn after school with little mess and no risk of burning. (Wirecutter’s own popcorn experts have declared it <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-ways-to-make-popcorn/">one of the best ways to make popcorn</a>.) You do need to be sure not to overload this machine, and I’ve found that it’s more effective to just melt your butter in the microwave, versus using the little plastic cup.

Players take turns adding magnetic tiles of terrain (forests, oceans, mountains) to their planet. Based on their terrain, they also compete to collect animal cards. The player who has the most desert terrain, for instance, wins the snake card. “It gets you thinking about the animals and their habitats,” said <a href="http://www.brianmayer.games/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Brian Mayer</a>, a gaming, learning, and library specialist in New York, who recommended the game. It’s also featured in our guide to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/board-games-for-kids/">board games for kids</a>.</p><p class="alignright"><em>—Ellen Lee</em></p><div><div

But don’t underestimate the low-key group fun of tossing around a flying disc. Kids don’t need any extra equipment to play, and the game is as enjoyable with one friend as with 10. You may already have a Frisbee (or several), but we think it’s worth spending a little more to get a disc that tosses and glides with ease.

But even the biggest skeptics among us may dissolve into laughter when confronted with this quirky card game—because, really, why wouldn’t you want to ruthlessly pummel someone with a squishy fake burrito? The aim of the game (which is best played outside, where there’s no risk of breaking a glass with an errant toss) is to swap cards until you find a match or play a burrito card, leading to a back-to-back “burrito duel” or an all-out “burrito war.” Sharp reflexes are a must.</p><p class="alignright"><em>—Ellen Lee</em></p><div><div class="ff31b4af" data-ad-element="outer_ad_container"

This machine can handle a variety of fabrics and stitch them evenly. It also comes with plenty of speeds and specialized features (like presser feet), which beginners can use as they become more skilled and comfortable with the machine. If you don’t have a built-in mentor among your family or friends, consider including a sewing class or lessons (your local sewing-supply store likely offers both) to help kids get started, says DePaul

(The rule of thumb is that a weighted blanket should be about 10% of your child’s body weight, but if your kid is under 5 years old or weighs less than 50 pounds, for safety reasons we recommend going with the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36320/158658/4/139960/?merchant=Sommerfly" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Sommerfly" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36320/158658/4/139960/?merchant=Sommerfly" data-vars-store="Sommerfly" data-gtm-context="chapter_weight-for-it" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Sommerfly" data-pid="36320" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/36320/158658/4/139960/?merchant=Sommerfly">Sommerfly Sleep Tight Weighted Blanket</a> instead.) The Nappling is made from loosely woven organic cotton that feels cool to the touch and, yes, heavy—but reassuringly so, not in a panic-inducing way. (I know this from all the naps I’ve taken beneath it while my son was at school.) Most kids over the age of 7 should be okay to sleep with a weighted blanket through the night (my son does).</p><p class="alignright"><em>—Ingela Ratledge Amundson</em></p><div><div class="ff31b4af"

national parks and federal recreation sites, and fourth-grade students can get a free pass for themselves and their families through the <a href="https://everykidoutdoors.gov/index.htm" rel="noopener"

That year of free admission can be a nice impetus to planning various outdoor adventures, whether it’s an ambitious family journey or a local day trip.

The little booklet is divided by region, with space for cancellations and stamps collected along the way. For those who are predisposed to collecting, the passport may help serve as motivation for planning even more park visits. And the booklet ultimately serves as both memento and diary, which just may start a habit of documenting a lifetime of exploration.</p><p>And note: If a child or other family member has a disability, they are eligible for a <a href="https://www.friendshipcircle.org/blog/2012/01/03/do-you-have-your-access-pass-yet/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">special access pass</a> that grants them (and anyone else in the car) free lifetime admission to over 2,000 national parks. Keep in mind that the pass needs to be applied for weeks, if not months, in advance of the visit. Additionally, there are many excellent <a href="https://havewheelchairwilltravel.net/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">blogs</a> and guides focused on accessible travel (the <a href="https://wheelchairtravel.org/statue-of-liberty-wheelchair-accessible-tour/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Statue of Liberty</a> often tops disabled travelers’ lists of national parks with good accessibility options).

It can be monogrammed (and why not?) for an additional $10. —Ingela Ratledge Amundson","title":"Luxe loungewear","slug":"luxe-loungewear","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-caption","attribs":{"id":"attachment_346643","align":"alignnone","width":"1024"},"children":[{"type":"tag","name":"img","attribs":{"class":"alignnone size-large wp-image-346643","src":"https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2023/11/giftsfor9yrolds-2048px-acrylicpaints.jpg?auto=webp\u0026width=1024","alt":"A person spreading paint on a palette, surrounded by art supplies including tubes of Arteza Acrylic Premium Artist Paints.","width":"1024","height":"682"},"children":[],"dbData":{"productionCDN":true,"source":"wp-content/media/2023/11/giftsfor9yrolds-2048px-acrylicpaints.jpg"}},{"data":" ","type":"text"},{"data":" ","type":"comment"}],"dbData":{"credit":"Photo: Arteza"}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"shortcode-callout","attribs":{"type":"alternate","id":"28"},"children":[],"dbData":{"ribbon":"Highlight","callouts":[{"name":"Arteza Acrylic Premium Artist Paint (set of 60)","title":"","images":{"full":"https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/35637/Arteza-Acrylic-Paint_20231103-202121_full.jpeg"},"description":"These acrylic paints produce vibrant hues, dry quickly, and can be applied to wood, glass, paper, or canvas.","notGreat":0,"ribbon":"Highlight","pickTypeId":7,"referenceId":199459,"inactiveSources":[{"id":162524,"store":"Amazon","price":{"raw":3157,"rawFormatted":"$32","formatted":"$32"},"buttonDetails":"","order":3,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":1,"rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NDNKQ1B/","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/162524/4/199459"},{"id":178110,"store":"Arteza","price":{"raw":6199,"rawFormatted":"$62","formatted":"$62"},"buttonDetails":"","order":0,"valueAdd":"","countryId":"usa","availability":0,"rawUrl":"https://arteza.com/products/acrylic-premium-artist-paints-set-60-colors","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/178110/4/199459"}],"sources":[{"id":157832,"price":{"raw":0,"formatted":"$0"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"Discontinued","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/ARTEZA-Supplies-Pigments-Painters-Painting/dp/B077Y87WR9","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/157832/4/199459","store":"Amazon"},{"id":158380,"price":{"raw":7902,"formatted":"$79"},"order":2,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"OutOfStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arteza-Acrylic-Premium-Artist-Paints-Set-60-Colors-60-x-22-ml-0-74-US-fl-oz/600721182","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/158380/4/199459","store":"Walmart"}],"productId":35637,"calloutId":"p28","deals":[],"hasEventDeals":false,"combinedSources":[{"id":157832,"price":{"raw":0,"formatted":"$0"},"order":1,"merchantName":"Amazon","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"Discontinued","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.amazon.com/ARTEZA-Supplies-Pigments-Painters-Painting/dp/B077Y87WR9","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/157832/4/199459","store":"Amazon"},{"id":158380,"price":{"raw":7902,"formatted":"$79"},"order":2,"merchantName":"Walmart","buttonDetails":"","valueAdd":"","availability":"OutOfStock","countryId":"usa","rawUrl":"https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arteza-Acrylic-Premium-Artist-Paints-Set-60-Colors-60-x-22-ml-0-74-US-fl-oz/600721182","countryCode":"US","currency":"USD","url":"https://wclink.co/link/35637/158380/4/199459","store":"Walmart"}]}]}},{"data":"\n","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"My daughter’s favorite birthday gift when she turned 9 was this ","type":"text"},{"type":"tag","name":"a","attribs":{"class":"product-link","href":"https://wclink.co/link/65497/207766/4/198683/?merchant=Amazon","rel":"noopener sponsored","target":"_blank","data-gtm-trigger":"product_link","data-store":"Amazon"},"children":[{"data":"acrylic paints set","type":"text"}]},{"data":", which comes with 24 tubes of vibrant colors—a nice selection for any budding artist.
