Choosing the best gifts for tween girls

Pre-teen girls are between childhood and adolescence. While the age range can vary, the tween years are usually from ages 9 to 12 years old. It’s a transitionary period, and with the onset of puberty, they’ll experience physical, emotional, social, and cognitive developmental changes. 

According to experts, increased independence is a characteristic of the tween years.

She’s at an age where she’ll constantly be scrolling Instagram and TikTok, so you can be assured she knows what’s cool and trendy, which is why the latest accessories, gadgets, stylish items of clothing, and other popular items are a hit with tween girls. As they grow, tween girls become interested in games and activities that challenge them and test their problem-solving abilities.
