Present ideas for 3 year old girl

[ifonly4]

Looking for inspiration please for an Xmas present for my (nearly) three year old niece. When we asked Dad for ideas he said she likes purple and is presently learning the alphabet, but these aren't a specific stipulation. Any ideas welcome. Cost approx £12-17.

Marble run.
She would need to be supervised for a while and would probably need a hand to build it etc.
I'm a preschool nursery manager and it is by far THE most played with toy we have.

i always go with books, i love rebel girls but other ideas could be:
Craft bit/colouring in
dressing up clothes
doctor/vet set
play food
toy cars
lottie doll
handbag - primark does fun ones
dvd - sing and trolls are good
audiobook
clothes
baking stuff
duplo set

They had marble runs in lidl the other day...

...by Lidl I meant Aldi!

I recently got my niece Sylvianian dolls cosy cottage it was about £15 and she loved it she is 3 years

I'd get her a tub of foam bath letters and another couple of bath toys such as Crazy Foam Soap, Gelli Baff or bath crayons.

Bunchems are lovely. Mine love them.
Art stuff

The only time I have seen Bunchems is in pictures like this

Saxoflute
Melissa and Doug Alphabet Block Truck
Mega Sketcher
Books

My two Ds have very tight haircuts

My 3 year old loves
My little ponies
Her play tools
ABC books
Paw Patrol
Dressing up

I hope that is through choice, rather than as a result of using Bunchems, Littlelamb!
