Our DD (7) and DS (5) desperately need new bikes so they are getting them for Christmas. But when we were at the bike shop 'looking at bike locks for Dad' (eyeing up prices and sizes for the kids) it was the 3 year old who was most excited about the bikes.
But...we have a perfectly good 12 inch (boys) bike we were planning to pass on to her from her brother. It's very boyish, which she probably would be okay with. It's the right size, in good shape, etc -- no need to spend money on a new bike for her.
It's just the Christmas morning thing -- Santa brought your sister and brother these big presents, and you get...what?
Any ideas for a suitable biggish present that would make her not mind the bike thing? We've got no garden so it can't be a playhouse or slide, we have a play tent, we have scooters (the mini micro scooter would be good, but it's so expensive we might as well get another bike).
Poor thing has hand me down everything.
