My two (7 and 5) are engrossed in Crayola Colour Explosion books. They are great. Black coated paper with special pens than make images appear in bright colours.

DD also loves her Magic Trick set and DS Lite(obv! - thought she was going to faint as I had told her they were FAR too expensive and she would no way be getting one!).

DS loved his dinosaurs best.

My 3 yr old dd is playing with her barbie pooing dog! This was her favourite gift and the only thing she asked for!

DS1 (3.4) likes his pirate dress up and pull string woody (toy story) and DS2 (almost 2) loves a chunky Thomas the Tank Engine toy and ELC click clack track. I like my perfume and slippers!

DD1 - Pink DS Lite - also thought she was going to faint with shock when we gave it too her - TOTAL surprise for her
DD2 - Baby Annabel Pram
They were both given Scamps dogs as well which were a great hit with both dds and their grandparents [grin. Caught my stepdad talking to them like they were real many times

both dds - mini tramp, wooden stove and sink, beach towels in little backpacks - been walking around the house with their backpacks on. Dd2 loves the huge rag doll my mum got her - it is as big as her.

DS1 is loving ... hmm .. having Grandad here, so he can make him do things.

DS2 is loving his Fisher Price Garage, as much or more than I hoped. He kept sneaking off from Xmas lunch to go play with his garage.

Criss cross crash, which was a very last minute addition and a huge hit.

L-Max and after that it was quantity, not quality, games, books, more sweets than you could shake a stick at.

ds (15 mths) is particulary impressed by the ribbon from the presents and has been walking around covered in it, while throwing balls around (he got LOADS!!!)
