7yr Old Tomboy Girl

missjennipenni

Im really stuck for ideas for my 7 yr old daughter. Shes too old for dolls & barbies (and doesnt like them anyway) and doesnt have any interest in clothes & such.

I have about £80 to spend, and i am hoping to get a few things for that. Ive already got her a password journal (that she asked for) and a digital camera.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

ELC do a new range of toys for kids 5-10 which is all about adventure and learning and there are some fun kits in there. Bakerross do great craft kits if she is into making things.

My 8yr old niece is getting a Cella sticker maker, some hama beads and a make your own snowglobe from us for Christmas. Boots do a nice range of crafty/educational type things, might be worth a look? 3for2 as well

How about something like Magnetix - they can keep children occupied for hours. I remember seeing lots of really positive comments about these sets last year on this site. However, can't find them now - think it must be due to some of the older posts being missing.

Oh, thanks for that! I presumed that the ELC only catered for small children

she does like crafty things (as long as they arent too messy for mummy lol). Our local Boots is too small, but im guessing these are available online?

I did consider that, but with a baby on the way i did wonder if it would be suitable to have in the house

Im probably just being too over-protective though

Hi


How about a puppet theatre with hand puppets. Went down a treat with my tomboy. We had lots of alternative versions of Red riding hood, wolf was often the hero though.



found this one on ebay for about £22
good luck
