DD doesn't seem interested in her dolls / dressing up anymore.... so just wanted suggestions.

TIA Smile

Lots of colouring/ making.

But still plays with Playmobil or other pretend figures. Especially animal ones.

Sylvanians
Any craft

Sometimes she'll do a big scene involving DS's Lego and GoGos, the Sylvanians, cuddly toys and tea set.

She also likes the odd puzzle and loves games eg Jenga and Crazy Chefs.

DD was 5 in March and to be honest tends to go for arts and crafts; colouring, painting, drawing, sticking etc over any actual toys at the moment. She does still sometimes get engrossed in a game with her 'herd' (a big collection of different farm animals, dinosaurs etc) but largely ignores her dolls, Sylvanian families/playmobile etc.

She does still like playing with all her soft toys making up games/tea parties with them normally when she's supposed to be in bed sleeping

Moshi monsters on the internet.
Lego.

yy Moshi Monsters. DD just has the cards and binder - is it worth getting online with it?

She liked role play like playing schools so notebooks, registers (I printed out an Excel with names going down and squares to mark present or not), clipboards, stampers with slogans like "Good Work!" , plastic folders where she could keep lesson plans (I kid you not!), gel pens (especially glitter and metallic) ...
She also liked collecting things- stickers, Morrison Disney cards, Moshi Monsters or whatever, skipping, learning song lyrics from print outs, listening to music, Hama Beads, Lego, colouring in and Aquabeads.
