Please help!

Playing with magnetic tiles, paw patrol action figures and vehicles and doing jigsaws.

Reading Julia Donaldson books and that sort of thing.

Oh and she has a bike and scooter that she likes to take on the skate park/bmx track.

Thanks. Very similar to here.

With Christmas so close, I've run out of ideas!

Anything magnetic. We are reading a chapter of the magic faraway tree every day.

I don’t have a four year old, but I love the look of the Yoto player. Especially with a new baby, it might help to entertain him but without screens, and he should be able to operate it by himself.

Understood OP, my daughter is 5 next month and people are asking what they can get her and I haven’t a clue.

I'm in the same boat

Lexibook Powerman robot was a big hit on my four year olds birthday. Book wise, the 'Oi Dog/Cat/Aardvark' series, or 'You're Called What?!' always makes them laugh.

Toniebox is the current favourite
