Best presents for 4 year old?

DD will be 4 a few days before Xmas, so starting to think about presents for both occasions. Just wondering what your 4 year olds play with the most / what has gone down well as presents / been good value for money?

Bumping as my DS will also be turning 4 nine days before Christmas and I haven't a clue what to get for him!

Bump again - someone out there must have a four year old who likes something!

DD is 4.3 and likes (in no particular order)

Octonauts
Lego
Dolls
Pretending to be things - usually doesn't need much apart from imagination but she does make good use of her doctors bag.

We already know she wants more Lego and some Octonauts stuff for Christmas - she has worked out that Father Christmas isn't real and I think she thinks we're less organised than him so she's given us plenty of notice.

Interested in this thread?

Ah yes - another vote for Orchard Toys. Some of them are very similar though (Lunch Box / Tummy Ache and Spotty Dogs/Ladybirds for example) so choose carefully :)

Ds4 is into playmobil, happy land and his sister's Barbies!

Ok, thanks all -glad we are on the right lines with lego, which DH is very keen to get.
Lots of other good ideas there too.

Toy food, money and till

My ds, 4 today, loves playmobil figures or Lego. He plays with them for hours, making up little stories etc.
He also likes play-doh (it gets incorporated into his imagination play), painting, drawing and reading.

DS is now 6 but his faves at 4 were:

Imaginext (his favourite by a mile)
Octonauts
Lego
Bike (we got him one without stabilisers which he rode on his 4th BD)
Mini micro scooter

Get them a Nintendo DS with animal crossing wild world if you can read with her or get a wii U the DS is portable while wii U is stationary I recommend Pikmin 3 on it or a normal wii which you can get all sorts of motion games on.
