Any ideas for 8yr old girls toys??

[littlebearegg]

My partner has a near 8 year old who visits us every school break as she lives far.

Wanted to get some bits and bobs to stay at ours for her! But I have a 9 year old boy and he very much just likes gaming at the moment!

Any ideas?

Also for Christmas and birthday too!

Thank you xxx

DD is 7 and a half and isn't massively into toys, but she loves craft stuff. She loves a trip to The Works, The Range or Hobbycraft

Their tastes vary so much and from month to month, so I'd be wary of spending a lot, if she's a fairly infrequent visitor. Have you any way of asking her mum (assuming that's who she lives with the rest of the time?)

Lego/Lego Dots seem to be popular at the moment

Hama beads? If she likes craft stuff? Hard to say without knowing their interests. A lot have outgrown a lot of toys by that age.

Lol dolls are big with girls that age.

My oldest loved our generation dolls at that age but my stepdaughter only liked gaming - it really depends on the child

Lego?

Lego, craft and science kits are biggest things here.

Hama beads
World of Walliams jigsaws
Kumi Kreator
IHome Sound Factory
Top from Selfie Clothing Co
Roller skates or blades
Popcorn machine
Recipe book, apron and cupcake making accessories like cases and sprinkles.
Galt rainbow lab
Netball hoop and ball
My Fairy Garden
Spirograph
Tie dye kit
Bath bomb making kit
Lego dots

depends entirely on the child. Some love cuddly toys & crafts, others prefer gaming & football.

If she doesn't see you often, probably something that you can do together is good, so board games / baking / sport that both kids like?
