Christmas for 4 year old girl

[lemonsherbert83]

Looking for inspo for presents for 4 year old girl please! When I ask her what she wants she says she doesn’t know. I should be grateful I know because this won’t last!

I couldn’t find a post covering this already but if there is one please link it.

This is the Christmas thread

When my DD was 4 these were popular presents:

Sylvanian Families
New Yoto cards
Orchard games
Dinosaur annual
Magnatiles
Craft kit (pom pom pictures, early sewing, paint your own moneybox)
Little characters from TV shows she likes
Build a Bear with clothes (that we mostly bought from Vinted)
New trainers/party dress
Dressing up clothes
Funnybones books
Duplo/basic Lego

My DD’s absolute favourite gift at that age was a school set - it was much bigger than I expected but she still plays with it daily to teach her babies, 2 years on:

Have a look on Etsy for potion kit refills, quite a lot of variety there. Some bits you could buy bigger sizes of bath salts, dried flowers, cornflour, etc. and refill yourself.

Two things which we got a lot from: a My First Calendar, a magnetic board which had the days of the week, the months of the year, the seasons of the year, the weather and the numbers for the day of the month. Every morning DS would change the day and the date number and anything else that needed to be changed. It was fabulous for instilling the notion that the week is a cycle, as are the months and that they will all come back round again. He learned all the names fairly painlessly and in a fun way. If they're still available, I'd get one of those for a pre-schooler or reception age child.

The other thing was an easel with a chalkboard on one side and a magnetic whiteboard on the other. I bought loads of magnetic letters and DS would use it to his homework as well as playing schools, leaving messages, etc. Ours was from ELC but it wouldn't be hard to find others, I suppose. It had a rod for hanging a roll of paper on so you could just pull down and tack the bottom of the paper to the bottom of the easel.

We had years of fun and valuable scholastic input from both. Other kids liked them too.
