A trampoline
Every 9 year old girl loves to jump around, right? Making trampolines one of the best toys for 9 year old girls. Assuming there’s a suitable space in her parents’ backyard, that is.
Springfree promises to sell only the highest quality trampolines in Australia. Add to that their firm focus on safety, and you can see why we’re recommending this retailer. You can buy only a trampoline from them, or opt for a bundle that includes other items too.
Springfree offers a ten year warranty on their products, and bundles come with accessories such as a basketball hoop that attaches to the top of the trampoline. They even stock limited edition trampolines if you’re seeking something different, as well as a range of complementary accessories.

Pre-teen books
If you want an alternative to more plastic toys, why not opt for a book or two? Booktopia is the one of the best bets here, as they’ve helpfully divided their stock into sections. We recommend browsing the pre-teen (ages 9 to 12) category if you want to find the ideal books for 9 year old girls.
There’s a good range of popular and lesser-known titles to choose from. You can also pick between fiction and non-fiction titles. From the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series or Dork Diaries to The Detectives Guide to Paris or the Heartstopper series as featured on Netflix, there is so much scope here.
Another great store to buy kids’ books from is Amazon. You can narrow down your search to focus on books for 9 year old girls if you like. When we tested this, titles that stood out include a Nancy Drew Mystery Stories box set, Katie the Catsitter and the intriguingly named The Girl Who Drank The Moon.

A neon sign
Whether it’s a slogan that will really resonate with her, a cool symbol or a custom-made version featuring her name, neon signs are one of the best toys for girls who are 9 years old. Amazon offer a good range of these, so you don’t have to hunt high and low to find something she’ll love.
Pick a cactus to complement a green room, or opt for Just Be Yourself, Good Vibes or Hello Gorgeous if the idea of a slogan neon sign appeals. Order a personalised one with her name on it, or choose a banana, a cloud or even a gaming controller.
In fact you can order any neon sign you like, really. Plenty of the neon signs on Amazon are fully customisable, so why not take a look to see what you could come up with?

A hoverboard
One of the most awesome toys for 9 year old girls and boys is a hoverboard. This fun and funky toy will get her outside in the fresh air, too, and is something that’s easy to share with her siblings. Though they might need to establish some sort of fair rota or sharing system first!
It can be a challenge to keep kids of this age active – and away from screens – when they’re not at school, but the fact that a hoverboard is simply so darned cool guarantees to get them out there and moving about. After all, who wouldn’t want to be seen riding on one of these?
Illuminated wheels or platforms – or both – only add to the appeal. These also double up as a good safety feature, especially when she’s riding it in the rain or after dark. With some models available at around a couple of hundred dollars, you don’t necessarily need to break the bank to get her riding high this Christmas.

Cool clothes
At age 9, girls are often just getting into fashion in a big way. By this age she’ll know what she wants to wear and when, so buying her some cool threads really can be the way to go. This can also help out cash-strapped parents at an expensive time of the year.
Best & Less is where to shop when you don’t want to splash too much cash yourself. They offer a great range of girls’ clothing for ages 8 to 16, so it’s easy to find something lovely for a 9 year old. Again, it’s an awesome alternative to picking between the top 10 toys for 9 year old girls.

A friendship bracelet kit
Girls aged 9 do, on the whole, love to get creative. In our experience, anyway. At this age she’ll hopefully have a few firm friends, as well as a wider circle of school and other chums.
All this adds up to the fact that a friendship bracelet kit is the ideal gift for a 9 year old girl. As there are plenty of affordable options here, it’s also a pocket-friendly choice. What’s not to love?
While rainy days may be rarer here in Australia than in other countries – and even more uncommon in Queensland – making her own bracelets is a great rainy-day activity. Which might be useful when she lives in Victoria or Tasmania, or when it’s just too hot outside to do anything.
Friendship bracelet sets vary in terms of what they offer. Some contain enough to make a fixed number of bracelets, or may offer special features such as glow-in-the-dark threads. Amazon also offers lots of boxes containing a seemingly endless number of beads, threads and other essential materials. Buy one of these and it might well keep her busy right up until next Christmas!

Box-fresh runners

There are literally loads of brands to choose from when you shop at The Athlete’s Foot. These include Asics, Adidas, New Balance, Nike, Skechers and more. Pick a colour she loves and this is guaranteed to be her new favourite toy… Even though it’s actually a much more practical choice.
You can also pick up a pretty pair of runners at Amazon. Many available here – including some Skeckers sneakers – have built-in flashing lights, which mean she’s bound to become much faster on her feet. These can also be a useful safety feature after dark.
If Skechers are what you know she wants, you can also shop on the official Skechers website.

A nail art set
One of the best toys for a 9 year old girl has to be a nail polish set. It’s creative, it’s glamorous and it will make her feel very grown-up indeed. This is also one of the more affordable picks that’s sure to go down well with any girl of this age.
There are plenty of branded and non-branded options to choose from. Whichever you opt for, the sets of course tend to be non-toxic, and often contain nail paint that can be peeled off. This means there’s no requirement for strong nail polish remover later on.
While some sets contain only a selection of nail varnish colours, others also include accessories. These might be sheets of nail stickers she can use on her fingers, or toe separators for painting her toenails neatly. Sometimes there’s also a dryer included so she won’t have to wait too long. Which can be pretty important when you’re 9 years old!

Fidget toys
Nothing says 9 year old girl toys quite like fidget toys. Restless kids of this age love to fiddle with something colourful. They also love to collect, so adding a new fidget toy to their selection satisfies that urge at the same time.
Should she not yet have an array of fidget toys to her name, you can also buy a big set to get her started. Some include 40, 50, 60 or even 70 items, so she’ll even have a few to give out to her friends as New Year gifts! If she doesn’t want to keep them all to herself, that is.
The options for fidget toys include cylindrical puzzles, fidget cubes, poppits in all sorts of shapes and sizes, squishy balls and characters and chains. These also make ideal autism toys for 9 year old girls and boys, so they’re perfect for kids with additional sensory needs.

But have you come across LEGO® Dots yet? These super cute sets are ideal for 9 year old girls. When giving one of these as a Christmas gift, you’ll give her the chance to construct something that’s all her own.

As will her parents, who will of course be funding her new-found penchant for the most fashionable drink around.
In case you’re not familiar with it, bubble tea contains little balls known as boba. These pop in the mouth, releasing whatever flavour has been concealed within. They may match the flavour of the tea itself, or might contain provide a pleasing contrast.
