Present idea for three year old dd who loves organising

[sunshinehayley]

Any ideas??
My three year old dd loves organising/sorting things out so I would love to get her a Christmas present along these lines. As a few examples, she loves fiddling with marbles, crystals etc and putting them in order (eg colour, size).
Any ideas for a present that will give her the opportunity to do this??

Post office toy, Hamma beads,

i bought a telescope that comes with star charts and a book to check off what you see recently - that might suit her. they also had a binocular set with all different wild life to find and log.

Post Office

Do you think something like making these mosaic pictures would appeal to her?
Or [[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fantacolour-Daisy-240pc-10mm-Pegs/dp/B0002BAHTQ/ref=sr_1_16?s=kids&ie=UTF8&qid=1384964058&sr=1-16&keywords=quercetti this?

Sorry, or this

My 3yo is an 'organiser' too. She plays with her Russian Dolls every day.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. We've got a post office ( which we played with this afternoon) and she's got a peg game which she enjoys. I'd never thought of Russian dolls - I bet these would be right up her street. I'll look into all the other ideas too. Thanks again x

A partitioned box and a selection of buttons?

My dd is the same. I got her some pattern blocks and she loves making pictures with them then sorting them out in size and colour. www.learningresources.co.uk/product/135663.do?src=GOOGLEPS&gclid=COCJz7Ks9LoCFSbkwgod-GoAhg

Sorry can't do links on my phone.

How about this

Domino rally, Noah's ark, dd2 still loves lining the animals all up and she is nearly 7, or a farm with lots of different animal families. Dd2 loves my old farm set when we visit my parents.

A Playmobil (or similar) school - she can set up the classroom, organise the children, tell them what to do etc .

My God-daughter who is nearly 18 now had one and it was hilarious listening to her 'organising' the children.

Organising and sorting is a sign of maths skills. Might she enjoy related games like matching pairs or happy families?

My first thought was 'Post office'

How about other 'shop sets'?

'Stuff' to be a teacher.

Beads in a box with lots of different compartments.

Lego.

Does she like jigsaws? Puzzles?

Or charge her out by the hour :) Take her around to friends with messy play rooms and have coffee while she sorts them out

Why don't you try and get hold one of those large plastic sweet jars and fill it with different sized and shaped buttons (and other bits and bobs) - Ebay/Charity Shops/Car Boots sales etc are normally a good source for buttons) - then she can amuse herself sorting through the jar..

..not sure how suitable small buttons would be for a three year old though ???

...ops I see that someone else has also suggested buttons...

...failing buttons - how about a selection of large colourful dried beans !!!!

Dd liked playing with something called Compare Bears at nursery. Litle rubber bears that you could sort according to colour, size and weight.

How about a farm or a zoo set?

My dd was like yours, she played for hours with a farm set, organising the animals, loading them up on a trailer, feeding them etc.
