3.3 yo DD3 is getting this castle, a knight to go with it, some Julia Donaldson books, some blocks like these and some old age-appropriate new to her toys dug out from the attic.

My DD 2.8 is getting far too much as I started shopping in September shoved it all in the attic and kept forgetting what I'd bought/seeing another bargain! She's getting

A wooden train set (65 down to 30 in ELC)
A kiddizoom twist
Hello kitty scooter( might save this for her b day)
V tech till
Peppa pig medical set
New jigsaws
New books
Gruffolo and gruffolos child DVD

My mum has got her some happy land stuff in laws gave got her new clothes and a Walkie talkie set I don't wanna know what other people are getting as it ruins the fun!

What a lucky lad!

My ds who is 3, has got a jungle junction play set, bannana and pyjamas play set, fireman Sam erasel, cars2 sqinkies, vtech motion plus with 4 games, elc wooden fireman house, board games, lots of art and craft sets (mainly to help with learning) leap pad learn and write.
Ds games (as he is getting ds1 old one) chad valley airplane.

Inlaws are getting him a STILH toy chainsaw and strimmer set, dressing up trunk.

Agree ELC - last year I bought a happyland train set with loads of bits and pieces on ebay great gift, a quick wipe down but in superb condition and well played with.

Duplo (lego) do loads of lovely stuff - I like the car & caravan but again on a budget there are loads of sets on ebay - I've bought DS2 a used cargo aeroplane and collected locally.

VTech do a playbus with phonics which both boys play with, they can even sit on it. Ds1 uses it now and he's 7!

"Tummy Ache"....greatfun for all the family. (Its a board game)

(don't use netmums for anything else mind you!)

Register with netmums.co.Uk - choose your local site - I pop on mine daily - I've had amazing stuff and because you go to collect from peoples houses it is always immaculate and much cheaper than eBay

Nearly new site? Why have I not come across that before now??? . Where can I find it?

the netmums nearly new site is always really good for a bargain.

Cool, thanks all! We've also been looking at the ELC wonderland stuff - looks quite good and is available on eBay. She loves imaginative play with fugues, so Peppa is also a good suggestion. Times are tight here, so love the eBay suggestions too. Thankyou so much!

We bought our then 3 yr old last christmas a box of ebayed peppa pig toys - it was a selection of stuff someone had collected. It always comes out when friends come to play - we also have the happy valley fire station, shops etc which we got various people to buy for her too so she had quite a set. They are always popular.

My 3yo is getting playmobil and a barbie as well as some little bits and jobs. I second an electric toothbrush - DD has just started using one and loves it! She is only 3 and a bit , we have lots of things from DD1 but barbies and playmobil are her faves.

She's just 3. Off to look at those suggestions - thanks all, a fine range! Back soon......

Thanks Katiebeau ('twas me who asked), does it seem fairly robust? I like the whole folds flat when not in use bit.

I'm a bit of a space geek enthusiast so DS and DD stand no chance really. They WILL like it

Oh and a kalaidoscope!

My dd got a Little Tikes playhouse as a joint birthday and Christmas present. Expensive, but she is the eldest of 3 siblings (well, dc3 not yet born) so will get a lot of play out of it over the years.

Other things include:
-Some cars and a playmat with a roads system printed on it
-Electric toothbrush (her friend has one and she is very taken with the idea)

Am pondering a Glo-clock for her bedroom too.

Slinkypebbles it was this one. http://www.eenymeenykids.co.uk/2-6-years/boys-2-6/cardboard-rocket-ship.html.

Apologies I don't know how to link and I'm on the phone so no crib sheet

I'll dig back through my email tomorrow and get back to you re cardboard rocket (presents stashed at back of attic currently ) I bought it a while back when I saw it.

If she hasn't already read it, she might like the Julia Donaldson book "Paper Dolls". You could give it along with some paper and a pair of scissors for making dolls of her own.

I got a set of fairy-tale shadowpuppets for my 6 year old. I'm not if they would be sturdy enough for a 3 year old, but they have a lot of storytelling potential.

People whose children like dressing up might like play and wear pyjamas, which are a dressing up outfit and fancy pjs in one. My kids have the astronaut and the Knight of St George ones.

My 3 year old will be getting fingerpaints, a set of Kapla blocks (shared with his big sister), a torch that can project pictures of animals, a couple of books and a hand-me-down fingerpuppet theatre.

Mansion - 20% more off with code E4HD glamour mansion. Worth ringing your local one?

Slinky - is she just 3 or closer to 4?

Our 4 year old DS received lots of Playmobil for his birthday and it has been a big hit with both him and his 2.5 year old sister. Their favourite is this plane and this spy car. They spend ages playing nicely with it together and DSS who is 9 will still play with it too, so it has longevity.

Katiebeau - where did you order your rocket from? I can't find it on the (utterly brilliant) thespaceshop.com site.
