      NOT a Barbie; those things are bad role models for little 5 year olds. Get her another kind of doll, like a baby doll or an American Girl doll or something like that. A book would be too boring a present for a 5 year old…hope this helps!

      A book.

      At aged 5, she’s too young to worry about body image, clothes, fad things, etc. All those things that Barbie (and Bratz) represents.

      but dont be afraid to start introducing books to her, its never to early to learn but dont make her grow up to quickly.
