What would you buy for a three year old girl who is not particularly girly

[exasperatedmummy]

I reckon we have a budget of about £50, i wouldnt want to spend much more than that. I really just don't have a clue wht to buy DD, she will definately know about xmas this year and be excited - but i just cannot think of anything that might be special. She has a very indulgent gran who buys her so much during the year from charity shops so she has lots of toys and puzzles.

Any ideas because i am completely at a loss

stomp rocket?

My dd sounds just like yours. She has never wanted girly things until very recently. She is nearly five. I have an elc farm herewhich she LOVES and I got with 20% off with the birthday code and schleich animals here which are lovely.

My dd3 is getting (birthday and Christmas)
Playmobil ark (she loves giraffes)(secondhand off ebay £30 inc p&P)
Colour pad and pens
vet set with cuddly toy.
Dora the explorer talking backpack.
Stephanie dress up set from Lazytown.

How about an explorer set - backpack, magnifying glass, torch, binoculars and notepad and pencil.

Playmobil is great if your child is into role playing with little toys. Ours go on all sorts of adventures when she's in the mood and it's been well worth the money. But some kids just don't play like that.

I'd definitely second the stomp rocket if she hasn't got one. Ours is easily the toy that has most earned its keep. It just keeps being rediscovered and it keeps them amused for ages, despite being thoroughly battered around the edges.

My dd isn't the slightest bit girly either. She hasn't touched the Baby Annabel purchased for her third birthday!

She prefers climbing trees and riding her bike...and bossing her little brother around!

She quite likes the idea of a digital camera, but the kids' ones are ridiculously pricy
