Ideas for toddler girls?

[Senpai]

I know there's already toddler threads, but they're for boys. :)

Last year we went way over board and bought her a bunch of useless plastic tat she never plays with. We're donating most of that this year and replacing it with new toys that will be age appropriate. We're looking to scale it back this year with just a few quality toys and practical things.

I'm hoping for some good ideas for quality unisex toys or "masculine" toys that will still appeal to girls (she already has cars). Nothing against girl toys, family already has that covered. Looking for balance.

At the moment she loves Chalk, My Little Pony, Balls, and Putting things in buckets.

Oh, practical things that you think toddlers will need (outside clothes of course) are also appreciated.

DD got wooden garage for her 2nd birthday, which she still enjoys (4 next week).
Balance bike (+ funky helmet, check out Kiddimoto).

Outdoor stuff - excellent quality waterproofs, wellies and warm coats from Spotty Otter.

Watching with interest. Dh niece is 20 months and is extremely girly. I haven't a clue what is appropriate.

For a more unisex idea, what about the playmobil zoo. I'm always recommending playmobil 123 for toddlers, my kids have just gotten so much use from them.
There's lots of nice duplo sets too, farms and a vet set that my ds 2 especially, adored.

DD2 will be 3 at xmas.

We need ideas for the main present. She already has a bike. And her birthday is just before xmas so that narrows things down.

We are getting her a wooden train set. She loved the toot toot garage when she was a bit younger. And there was a car transporter that we bought in Smyths for her cousin's birthday and she cried because it wasn't for her, so we might get her that too.

I have been considering a farm, but haven't seen one I like yet.

Both my DDs are real girly girls, but I am trying to encourage more unisex toys. Though DD2 loves cars and diggers and tractors, so at least that is a bit of variety.

garage with cars, train set, big big hit, the one where you move trains youself, toy kitchen, puzzles, painting, craft. little live pets, things that move....slinky...

We got a wooden ELC kitchen when DC1 was 2, 8 years and 3 more children later it is still used several times a week. The wooden food that velcro's together and they can "cut" apart with a wooden knife is very good. Can also get similar style pizza and cakes.

Duplo
Puzzles
Play-doh, just basic tubs and tools.
Doll and pram
Dolls highchair so they can feed their dolls from their kitchen.
Playmobil 123 also great.

Toy farm

oh yes duplo

Playmobil 123
Duplo
Brio or other wooden railway starter kit
Cosy coupe car if you have space outside
Toy farm
Playdoh

Most have been mentioned already but those would be my top suggestions.

We've got DD (2) the asda wooden shop/cafe.

Schleich animals, very realistic. Not cheap but often on 3 for 2 offers. We have a range but mainly dogs and horses but they can be included in all sorts of play.

scliech YY also lots of schliech in those buckets in chairty shops...child would never know!

Ooh just looked up Schliech animals. I have a couple of those on my shelves for decoration. I didn't realize they were an actual brand. :)

We actually have a balance bike on our draft list, but are on the fence with if it'll be her main gift, since her birthday is in spring and she might actually get to use it outside then.

I think we have decided on a balance bike, some balls with both feminine and masculine colors, and a my little pony plushie with the possibility of the Schiech animals for her birthday a few months later. :)

Thanks guys!

Sounds good! Keep a look out for a "pimple" ball ours loved them as toddlers. Come as various sizes but are textured with big pimples all over them....

DS has lots of Playmobil 123 stuff, started getting it when he was 1.5 and still plays with it every day at early 3. I think we'll be getting a lot more use out of it for a couple of years yet. The suburban house is good.

My DD turns 3 just before Christmas. For her birthday she's having a Frozen Fever Elsa costume, a Peppa Pig scooter, new Frozen knickers, a skipping rope, and some crayons.
For Christmas, two weeks later, she's having a Lalaloopsy doll, Anna and Elsa soft dolls (kind of like rag dolls. I picked them up in Brantano for £6 each!), felt tips, and Sofia the First pajamas.

DD was 2 in August - favourite presents were Duplo farm and train and a big tent thing.

Christmas is going to be - kitchen from one set of grandparents, rocking horse from my mum and I'm still slightly undecided but I think some kind of shop/trolley combination.

And lots of play doh as she's currently obsessed.

I don't know who has kids with bikes, but they sell some super, super cute animal helmets with animal ears on top or looking like unicorns.

Here's a dinosaur one:
