"Big" present for 4 year old

Wondering if anyone can think of a big present for a 4 year old?
I mean physically large, not necessarily expensive.
She is still small enough to not understand that something small can be expensive, and her younger sister will get quite a few bulky things as she is only 18 months. I feel she might be a bit disappointed if she only has "small" things.

The ikea easel folds flat when not in use and is great, and looks big.

Another option would be one of the colour in buildings from hobbycraft. They have things like igloos, houses and spaceships. They are made of cardboard and fold flat too, but look pretty sizable.

@FireworkParrot

Little Tikes easy store giant slide.....stupid money new but we picked one up for my 4yo DD second hand on Facebook marketplace and it is used all the time.

I would second dressing up costumes, TK Maxx often have a good selection.

Funny you should suggest that, I just saw one on marketplace for £20 but its already spoken for Sad

A big box of something.

It can be blown up balloons (add in the odd light up and a couple of helium balloons), ball pit balls, popcorn (maybe limit this one) or even just other boxes and some craft items, hobby craft does some packs of craft things.

Actually if you go down the craft and box route you can put in things like old egg boxes, wallpaper off cuts, left over wrapping paper, toilet roll middles then maybe add a 'junk art' kids book.

How did you manage not to have a Disney Princess girlie girl?!?

I never was one but somehow I’ve got one! Age four and obsessed with beauty and princesses! I think it was nursery influences…

Playmobil Farm / stables / spaceship - whatever you think would pique her interest. All come in big boxes and fab play value as well.
