i wanna buy a present for a 4 year old girl..

Help!

I only have boys. I have no idea what to buy for girls. It's for one of the boy's school friend..and I want to spend an absolute maximum of £10 (preferably less ;) ).

So far I've ordered for her a t-shirt painting kit, and a bead-bracelet thing, and had to return both as when they arrived I noticed that they were intended for much much older girls.

  • i bought a wooden, snakes and ladders /ludo board from WOOLWORTHS £6.99 it is quite thick wood and should last a long time. some might think it old fashioned but its good for adding up and recognising numers etc. when l visit the child she always asks me to play snakes and ladders with her, never with the other modern numerous toys she has.
  • I think this is an absolute bargain - http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Product.aspx/TruOrFindUsing/TruAZOfBrands/TruToysDisneyPrincess/329819?ref=Search

    All little girls love Disney Princesses and drawing pictures, I've bought a couple of these from my local Toys R Us as birthday presents for 5 year olds so they should go down well for a 4 year old too. Failing that what about a princess doll/Dora the Explorer doll, again my little un loves both.
  • i bought these of ebay for about £3 (GIRLS GOODY BAG BARGAIN L@@K !!!!! OVER 20.00 WORTH!!!!) its full of hairband, hair clips jewellery etc and they do it age specific. the ebay sellers name is bigmark987. My nieces loved them and they are VERY hard to please.

    My daughter is 6 and since she was about 2 she has loved glitter and glue and anything creative. You could either make up a crafts good pack by picking some great stuff from Poundland or Tesco/Wilkinsons or buy her a ready made craft box. Pink and silver glitter, pink feathers, a pink pencil and oh don't forget some stickers. Accessorize have some really pretty ones or there is Poundland again.

    hth :p :j
  • My daughters (6 and 3) love making things, anything artistic, playdoh, painting, cololuring especially if it has princesses, disney characters, dora etc.

    You can't go wrong with any of these as it doesn't matter if they receive more than one, they get through it at a rapid rate.

    Best of luck xxxx

    I have 2 girls, 1 boy and can say hama beads, or anything with Disney Princess / Barbie on is fine,
    generic game are good and i have bought a few 3d snakes and ladders from Tescos over the last year for girls and boys parties that have gone down well (about £5ish)

    depending on if you have time for delivery there is

    http://www.thingimijigs.co.uk/index.php/cPath/39_96

    free delivery from this company, mine have the shaker maker (in dora), and the sunglasses set, the sunglasses case is great (oldest has the hard one in Bratz), as it has handles so she uses it for her proper glasses at school like a handbag

    never shopped there myself but there is a big thread on grabbit about them, (there is a delivery charge), I like this item,

    hope it helps
  • i agree with arts and crafts... you can make her an hamper just get a box/basket and fill with art stuff from wilkos/the £1 shop... fantastic present imo plus her mother then can keep topping the box up :D
