Toy ideas for 4 year old (girl)

So, I feel like my daughter has outgrown lots of her toys since she turned 4. I hoped she’d get some good new toys for her birthday (October) but it didn’t really happen so I’m doing research before Christmas. What do you have for your 4 year olds that they like? She’s got a bit bored of duplo, not quite into her train set yet, doesn’t really like puzzles, enjoys the play dough (if I don’t suggest it too much), loves her doctors kit. All suggestions appreciated.

If she likes the doctors set them maybe some dressing up clothes or you could make a vet set by collecting a few random bits and putting them in a case. There are some self sticking bandages that aren't actually sticky which can be applied to cuddly toys. That and a pet carrier might work?

My dd loved Playmobil. Her favourites were the zoo, camper van and horse farm. She also had some Sylvanian Families handed down from her cousins which got lots of play. She loved FurReal and Little Live Pets and started to get into Tiny Treasures dolls at that age.

Sylvanian families, craft things, jigsaws, board games, MakeDo cardboard box building kit, a den building/fort kit, a musical jewellery box, Djeco Tattoos, dolls house,

Forgot about Pop Beads, Magnatiles and the Melissa and Doug ice cream stand.

My 4 year old girl is all about her dolls and playsets atm. So stocked up on several kinds. She also goes bonkers over those surprise eggs for things like l.o.l

Play doh sets or sticker sets are cool. I've bought some sticker books which are either like dress the doll or decorate the dollhouse kinds to keep her entertained.

I second the Melissa and Doug ice cream set and magna tiles both big hits with dd1 who is now 5
Roller skates if she likes outdoors
Micro maxi Scooter if she has not already got a scooter
Our generation doll
Dress up clothes- Vinted has loads of Disney ones and they are a bit better quality than the ones from the supermarkets and v. Cheap

Play doh extruder was a massive hit here at the same age, and a big bag of plastic cutters/knives/rollers etc to shape the dough.

If she doesn't have one already, a play kitchen and stuff to go in it is probably the toy DS has played with the most. He preferred real things to go in it, so I got him various saucepans and non-breakable plates/cups/utensils and put them in a big box wrapped up. He's nearly six now and still uses it to do tea parties and pretend restaurants several times a week so it's got good use!

A good selection of Orchard games and puzzles is also pretty failsafe in my experience. DS likes the Dino-Snore-Us one especially. Magic Maths is also very popular but I think your DD might be a bit young for it this year.
