My D is 3.5 and seems to be a bit bored with her toy. I'm not the type of Mum who rushes out buying things every time the DC looks bored, believe me, but she has seemed bored for a few months now!
She already has:
tea set
saucepans
train set
puzzles
some play fruit and veg
a dolly and pram
animals
cars and trucks
lots of books (and she will get lots more for Chrissy)
Duplo
drawing/painting/sticking things
some dress up things
The only thing she seems interested in atm is her duplo, which she and DS play with a lot.
I'm not at all keen on beeping/flashing/talking/plasticy toys, and I don't think she would get any sustained enjoyment from these anyway. We don't have loads to spend. She and DS are getting books, a balance bike and scooter (courtesy of MN competition!) and a coupld of DVDs for Chrissy.
So, any thoughts? Does she even need anything new, or will she eventually learn to play with her existing toys in new ways?

what toys does your 4 year old DD love to play with? My DD seems a bit bored, but I'm loathed to spend on things she doesn't need...
