Present for playing teachers (7 y old)

My daughter is obsessed with playing teachers and has requested “pupils” for Christmas. Currently she is teaching around 6 cuddly toys (her brother was found unsuitable as a pupil) but she would like something more realistic.
She has a playmobil schoolhouse but does not like small world play.
Also, her room is very small. She has a blackboard, a desk, a “computer” and stationery etc.
Any ideas?

If your budget is at the very generous end, then maybe this? https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/gift-finder-3-5-years/our-generation-school-room-awesome-academy-playset/p/161125

If it’s slightly more average, then what about something like this? https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/fashion-and-dolls/barbie/barbie-sisters-dolls-with-accessories-4-pack/p/236054 Four dolls of different ages, so she could tailor her lessons?

Or individual younger dolls? https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/fashion-and-dolls/barbie/barbie-club-chelsea-doll-13cm-assortment/p/156699

I knew a child who had their own register they loved it don’t know if they still have them in schools or if it is done on a laptop.would be easy to make one.

When my dd was 6, I used Excel to make a register and I formatted it so that she could mark the children like her teacher did.
Her pupils’ names were her favourite friends and celebrities so there were names like Taylor Swift in her class.

She used her dad’s old briefcase and an old handbag of mine as her teacher accessories. She also used her younger sibling’s mini chair and table set from Ikea as her teacher’s desk and I bought her some stamps from an educational toy shop “Well done!” “Good work” etc which she also enjoyed.

It sounds like using toy babies that can sit might be the answer as long as she’s happy to teach Reception or Nursery. I believe that they often wear Newborn sized baby clothes and I bet that you could buy a bundle online so that they look older than babies. If she likes uniforms then you might have to buy polos for all the figures instead.

I second this. We love the learning resources school

I’d make her a lanyard with her name and photo on, she needs a whistle, a lidded thermos mug, some personalised “Miss Plume says well done” or similar stickers (eBay), a register and one of the big pens with the 4 different colours. And only then can she be a REAL teacher! Aww bless her.

I’d get a couple of ‘our generation’ type dolls second hand and dress them in school
uniforms - widely available on Amazon, eBay etc
