I have got stocking stuff, some books etc. But no main present. I'm all out of ideas. She was three in september and I used them all up then.

She has lots of baby dolls and equipment, a dolls house, loads of barbies handed down from friends, ditto dressing up stuff. She plays with lots of her older brothers toys too - kitchen and food stuff, elc little people sets, duplo etc.

She doesn't NEED anything. Butt I have to get her something, if only for parity with ds.

Aquadraw is good.

How about a blackboard/whiteboard and easle. We have a Tomy one, but quite a few to choose from I think.

Also, dressing up is always favourite here and then dancing to a cd - were have little discos in the conservatory

littledonkeyrach · 19/12/2005 12:12

vbella Ballerina is a ballet bar and mat for little girls to do ballet on. Good in principle, but it comes with a DVD which stars a young girl as their "teacher" and has the most annoying theme tune throughout.

We only have it on in very small doses, but DD1 (4) does love to do it. And she practices what she learnt in ballet on the mat.

Argos probably do it.

puddle · 19/12/2005 12:18

God, she'd love that littledonk. She started ballet a few months ago and loves it - very very serious about it.
Am off to look up on Argos website.

Enid - thought of playmobile but the stuff in the shop near me was all emergency vehicles and dustcarts. (and of course, ds has a fine colection of those vehicles).

Bella dancerella (like Ballerina only tap) is reduced to £6.99 in Instore (used to be poundstretcher) if you've got one of those near you
