3 yo DD would like - to quote "the Beatles and a Magical Mystery Tour Bus. Ringo has a pink top".

Can anyone help with this?!

What are your children's strange requests, and what have you bought to fulfil them?

Simps - have you seen the fairies in Hawkins Bazaar? Don't know if they're any good but she might like one.

Mine wanted "a jellyfish with wheels" when he was 3. Didn't succeed with that one.

JKS - the fairy must have wings.

As long as it has wings she will beleive it Smile

pigleychez · 20/11/2010 16:55

Simpson- What about these? Watch the video :)

Here

I love the jelly fish with wheels request. Grin

Not surprised you didn't find one.

simpson · 20/11/2010 18:08

Pigley - they look perfect Grin

Are they the ones you mean JKS??

Just hope DD is not too heavy handed with it Hmm

I drop her off at nursery on tuesday and its right near a hawkins bazaar so will check them out Grin

DD (2.11) wants a pink parachute....

JustKeepSparkling · 20/11/2010 19:56

Simps - yes i think it's those, i saw some on display in the shop the other day fluttering away, DS1 was most intrigued, but i have no idea how sturdy they are.

zanz1bar · 20/11/2010 20:50

A bottle of venom

"I won't hurt anyone, I just want to hold it".

To add to ds list that includes crocodile teeth, a trex bone and a gun.
Somehow I don't think twister is hoeing to cut it.

DD wanted a penguin to keep in the bath and tke for walks when it rains a couple of years ago. This year it's a horse. Thankfully she asked for a holiday for her birthday - she got that Grin!!

TopsyAndTimsMum · 20/11/2010 21:55

DiscoDaisy would a bag of fools gold pieces work? Otherwise a while back one of those collector magazines launched with a bottle of 24k 'real' gold flakes, cost about 99p, could prob find one at a charity shop/bootfair.

simpson argos are also selling flitter fairies if hawkins are out.

ds3 (2.7) has helpfully asked for 'a present' and when pressed 'a new one' Confused

TopsyAndTimsMum · 20/11/2010 22:00

zanz1bar cheap crocodile fossil teeth and loads of other things he'd probably like.

runnervt · 20/11/2010 22:12

ds1 (4) has decided he would like an elephant's nose so that he could blow people down when he sneezes. It's from a Dr Seuss book. When I said he couldn't have one he said he'd ask for one for Christmas as if that solved it all! If he can't have that he says he'd like either duck feet or a long tail! Might need to hide the book!

MrsColumbo · 20/11/2010 22:27

When DS1 was 6 (now much older) he requested a remote control so that he could control the world. And an electric eel suit to dress up in.

FreudianSlimmery · 21/11/2010 08:27

Runnervt - could you get him the game 'dohnutters'? You have to wear elephant noses :o
here

And wrt duck feet... Flippers? Or ELC do tiger feet here maybe you can find a duck version somewhere?

pigleychez · 21/11/2010 12:01

runvert- duck feet

Might be abit big though :)

pigleychez · 21/11/2010 12:03

Elephant nose!

runnervt · 21/11/2010 16:48

Thanks for the suggestions! I might have to get the mask pigleychez.

zanz1bar · 21/11/2010 21:09

Oh thanks topsy that site is fantastic

IHeartKingThistle · 23/11/2010 17:18

Last year, DD kept asking for a 'turning bunny'. We had no idea, she's a bunny obsessive anyway so she got lots of bunny-related stuff and didn't mention the 'turning' one.

This year, a 'turning mouse'! Hmm

Errmmmm · 23/11/2010 17:19

Dd2 wants some pringles. She's not even fussed what flavour they are. I could understand if she were three, but she's almost 12 Shock Grin

DoNotFeedMeBiscuits · 23/11/2010 17:36

DD (2.5) would like Farmer Duck, a yellow trumpet and a green chair. very specific, but not too difficult compared to some of the requests here!
