DTwins will be 4 at Christmas. Girl/boy.

Presents include a marble run, magnetix tiles, some hot wheels shark munching thing, a furreal pony, Polly pocket set, my little pony set, a curlimal each and a v tech camera each. Which sounds a lot but thanks to the bargain thread, has cost bugger all.

Stockings will be the usual wind up toy, torch (this one projects a reindeer) gold coins and probably some festive bubble bath.

DM is getting them both a remote controlled car, DS a jigsaw that turns into a large road track, and DD something to do with bugs.

DNan will get them a new dressing gown.

I have no idea. Lego maybe. I think we should get DS a bike but DH is less convinced.

Playmobil and more playmobil with some Sylvanian families, playdoh and craft bits thrown in.

Across both he is getting the hot wheels t-rex hauler, personalised football kit and boots, tin of football cards/stickers (not sure what they are but he covets these at the supermarket!), lightsabers, orchard games (pigs in blankets and bug bingo) and a couple of Tonies figures (even though he only ever wants to listen to the same one every night!).

CoodleMoodle · 09/11/2023 20:18

DS was 4 last year. He got the Hot Wheels Gorrila playset, more HW cars, Lego, books, cuddly octopus. Think he got some colouring in/craft stuff too.

When DD was 4 she got the Playmobil hospital as her main present.

KeeefBurtain · 09/11/2023 22:25

Dd is 4y7m she wants the Barbie dreamhouse so I will most likely get that.

4 is a cute age because they have often started to develop their own little interests!

My DS will be 4 in January. I am just making his list now and am planning on getting him the 3 foot bat cave shaped like Batman.

The bloody thing is £150 so I am searching online every day to see if I can catch it on sale.

The only other person who buys for him is his nan and I co ordinate these presents as well. I’ll be asking for Schleich dinosaurs for him.

In his stocking will be chocolate coins, kinder eggs and some dinosaur related small blind bag toys. Maybe a push along car too.

DD is 4 this week.

For her birthday she's getting a Tonie box & Tonies, wooden launderette, Barbies, Playdoh, board games, books, a watch.

For Christmas she's having a bigger bike, Lego, Magic Mixies, Fingerling, Leapfrog Scribble & Write, Gabby boat, marble run, pogo jumper, Cookeez oven, more Barbies and more Playdoh.

Stocking filler/Christmas Eve box - new PJS, Christmas squishy, Christmas flashing snap band, kiddie nail varnish, bath bombs, paint your own Christmas decoration, colouring, fidget necklace, mini Rubix cube, sweets, Barbie Aqua Magic book

mine are much bigger now (8 & 10), but we've had a screen-free today today and they have got the Kapla Blocks out. We were given these when my youngest was 4, and at the time, I couldn't see the appeal, but they are still going strong now, even with a room full of Lego.
