  • How about Hama beads.

    You can make lovely things with the beads, and they come in Maxi size now, which is great for this age group.

    You can get bumper packs, and lots of different designs.

    I have an old (real) till that my four year old totally adores. She'd play with that all day. And her little kitchen - making up little tea parties for us :D Colouring books and pencils.

    She also loves cars and buzz lightyear and thomas the tank engine.

    It's actually for my daughter, but I had been wondering about some lego, I know they do pink boxes full of Lego but wish they'd do more geared towards girls
    My daughter LOVES her lego! :j Hers is pink (and the bigger blocks, cos she was younger at the time) but I wouldn't think it'd matter what colour it is. It's still a toy, and still exciting to play with.

    My dd loves playmobil, dolls house, building dens/ forts, any role play stuff, dressing up, cutting and sticking, typing on mummys pooter. I think pink lego will be making an extrance soon - then if thats a hit she can inherit all her big brothers/ daddies
