Friend of mine going in for a breast cancer op in a week or so, and I want to send some stuff to keep her daughter entertained while she’s recovering. Daughter is 7 and is into Disney, princesses etc

Have you got anything reliable you’d recommend?

Usborne Sticker Books. You can get a variety of reasonably educational ones. My DD settled down with them for hours!

Disney Princess Lego. There are some great sets.
Bead sets.
Fancy colouring books with nice pens.

Comics / sticker books
Rainbow Magic fairy books
Sewing (DD has a cross stitch kit from John Lewis)
Skipping rope
Chalk drawing on the patio

If you have time/ you think the 7yo would like it, maybe offer to FT her occasionally and read or be read to? My DD loves doing that with my DM.

Interested in this thread?

My Dd used to like:
Making friendship bracelets
Jigsaw puzzles
Mosaic sticker kits
Hama Beads (needs an adult to be able to iron the beads at the end)
Writing and drawing in her lockable secret diary
Rush Hour Junior

Any kind of slightly fancy stationery -glitter pens, diaries etc
Little Live Pets - the birds are good
Lego Friends
Aquabeads
Puzzle books - mazes, jokes, wordsearch, spot the difference etc
Dobble is a fab card game if your friend would feel up to playing it with her. Or Uno

Not a gift but recommend Cosmic Yoga and Les Mills Kids on Youtube (kid friendly exercise), also free audio stories on Audible

Any craft sets - gem painting kit, mosaic sticker type artwork, colouring, usborne choose your own adventure books, bath bombs, Harry Potter Lego, magazines are studied for ages.
