What does your 6yr old dd play with?

[Lolaismyfavouriteandmybest]

Just curious....

Mine is obsessed with teletubbies and I try to have things here for play dates and to try to encourage age appropriate play. I have the feeling I'm falling behind.

Thanks

Anyone??

Mine loves Playmobil, her dolls (plays schools etc), Barbies, Lego, dressing up and endless amounts of drawing and craft.

Mine's just turned 7, she plays with nothing. Only does outdoorsy stuff - bikes, climbing, scooters etc. and a bit of craft. I suspect she has aspergers traits though (not really much creative play going on)

Mine (DS 6yo) hates arts and craft, but loves colouring-in. Loves outdoors play, and loves Lego. Loves cars and train sets, but often enacts scenarios where there are terrible crashes, multiple pile-ups and horrible death tolls. He still has a thing for In the Night Garden (which I hate and don't think is good before bedtime anyway), but also loves a creepy episode of Scooby Doo. Hope all is OK with your little one...

Thanks for the replies.

I love playmobile so I could indulge myself with the justification that it's to help dd fit in

Are baby dolls too babyish (if you see what I mean!) should I be upgrading to barbies etc?

The boys who come to play get dd playing with Lego (another one of my favourites) but she won't think to play with it on her own (or with me!)

I know I'm obsessing but we've got the first rumblings of the other girls noticing how different dd is and some of them aren't being very kind. Just want to try to steer her towards fitting in as much as a square peg in a round hole ever can.

My six year old and her eight year old still play with baby dolls. Don't push her to grow up too quick.

Aw she sounds like my DD. She's 5 next month and has been obsessed with the teletubbies since she was 2. She still watches her teletubbies DVD regularly :)
She also likes moshi monsters at the moment - I think they're similar to teletubbies but for older children. Both cute colourful creatures that make unintelligible sounds and live in their own weird world

DD, seven in two weeks, plays.......Playmobil, Lego, colouring in and other crafts, Baby born dolls (really loves them), bike, scooter, skipping (especially double dutch), climbing trees, monkey bars (adores her school climbing frame ), Wii fit, building sandcastles and lots more.

Baby dolls are definitely not too babyish. My dd is 7 in a couple of weeks and the other day she was pretending to breastfeed her baby doll in the back of the car. I think she'd feel a bit sheepish though if her friends saw her, and many of the girls in her class seem a lot more grown up than she is, but I would be so sad to think of her growing up too quickly. She still loves CBeebies too, even though her 4yo brother refuses to watch it any more!

She loves Barbies as I've already said, but plays with them very much in a 'princesses going to the ball' way.

Her favourite doll is one from Gotz that looks like a little girl - it's like the American Girl dolls which are v popular in the US. I think there is a cheaper version in Argos - called Design a Friend or something?

Your dd sounds absolutely lovely and I can understand the obsessing about them fitting in.

DS loves Lego & DH's old ghostbusters & he-man stuff. He also likes to draw.

Thanks. I really appreciate the comments. I would like to stress that I'm in no hurry for dd to grow up . I just worry that the children we kidnap for play dates will find her toy selection a bit babyish and I'm trying to keep up ( they have grown up so fast in yr 1!)
