Starting my Christmas shopping. My poor daughter seems to always have to play with her older brother's toys. I haven't really figured out what she likes yet. Any suggestions?

[Mommy_of_two]

I have a four-year-old daughter. She loves to "perform" so she really loves musical instruments. We got her the Dora castle last Christmas and she loves it. She also loves the Crayola Color Wonder paper and markers because the markers are clear, but on their paper it makes a cool design. She loves Play-doh (which makes a good stocking stuffer). Does she have a bike? Our daughter got her first big girl bike for her third birthday. Hope this helps!

That's a huge help, and now that I am thinking about it, I think we got my son his first bike when he was three also!

She seems to like to pretend a lot (mostly using Little People). She also likes to perform, so the instruments might work...maybe dress up clothes too.

Yes, anything that allows them to use their imagination, or creativity at 3 is great. I find my little girl playing with all her big brothers toys too, so this year I will be getting her some very "girly" stuff for christmas, things that hopefully she will love but are more Hers... probably a barbie car so they can drive cars together... LOL

mommy_of_two, I was just talking to my husband today about those markers. Miss 2 draws over the walls with whatever she can get her hands on, so I can't allow them to have pencils or textas much, I was thinking the clear markers would be a great idea, I might have to go and track some down

Oh, like Crayolas? Do you have crayolas? I am hoping to get to the Crayola factory in Pennsylvania with my kids one day...it is supposed to be a great place!

I just picked up the Fisher Price Star Station for my daughter. I think she will love it! It hooks up to the tv and it is sort fo a video/karaoke machine. I can't wait for her to try it out! Has anyone else seen these?
