I can’t wait to give you some ideas of what to get a 4 year old who has everything! Beck’s birthday was a blast this year! It was so fun to see him get sooo excited about every little thing! He was counting down the days. We celebrated the day with tons of Beck’s favorite things- Chick-fil-A, fishing, a new scooter and just being outside all day- I got sunburnt!

Beck has sooo many toys so I really tried to not buy things that are just toys. I got a few toys but they are more educational gifts for a 4 year old boy than toys. When grandparents asked for ideas I gave them these ideas and wanted more educational and outdoor toys versus plastic.

Wondering what to get a 4 year old who has everything? Here are the gifts that us and others got for Beck this year! I will include some ideas he just got for Easter last week too. A full guide to what to get a 4 year old who has everything!
