AGE ELEVEN · MAKE & MOVE
Gifts for an eleven-year-old girl who likes a new way in.
The inventive-eleven birthday list
At eleven, a present can be a new way into a favourite interest: build a marble route, experiment with circuits, redesign a creative object or get a group of friends moving outside. The wording of a search may say girls, but a child’s own interests are the better guide.
