Climbing gifts for kids

Hi all - any thoughts for gifts for younger kids interested in climbing? I'm visiting my 4 year old goddaughter later this year who's been apparently ripping up the kids wall in the local gym, and wanted to pick up something to increase the stoke. Any experience with kid's climbing shoes?

I don't know how well a bag of chalk would go down with the parents though!

Thanks!

Posters are still a thing right? Maybe a poster of one of the badass climbing ladies to get her inspired? Emily Harrington on El Cap or something similar.

Perhaps a playful chalk bag?
I ran a quick search on Amazon, quite a few fun hits

8bplus.com/ has some super cool chalk bags that a kid would love.

Any number of goofy trinkets that have a carbiner-type gate. Depending on the age, the little animal flashlights are cool.

Josh at TUFA can make custom bags for kids. He made a couple for my 4 year Olds turned out great.

I 2nd the Tufa suggestion. I had him make me a climbing bag, which my youngest liked so much he has taken it over as his daily school bag. Pick some unique colors she'll like.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
