What sort of game/toy would a 3 yrs old girl be happy to receive..?

Girls of that age also seem to be into Dora or Fifi. I'd check first though as you so don't want to get them muddled up !

A till...seriously all three year olds love tills!!!!! They are about £4 at Tesco or Asda and come with a basket of pretend food and some plastic money! they love it!!!

My 2 1/2 neice loves make believe stuff. Toy iron, kitchen etc etc. As the summer is coming up she ADORES her little gardening set that she follows mum around with

Well, I'm ready to be flamed here, but 3 year old girls love Barbie or Polly Pocket in my experience. Parents get all po-faced about it, but they do. Sod the ELC puzzles and intellectual stuff , that's what they tend to like and they play with them for hours at a time for years. And they don't end up brain dead, just happy absorbed little girls.

OK, so I only have boys, but at that age, the most popular toys with them and their cousins (boys and girls) are/were the kitchen/food/shopping toys (what about some of the velcro food that you can slice up etc?), and house-y things like vacuums.

Bags are also popular - they don't have to be anything special either. My two years old's favourite bag is a Sainsburys jute bag - one of the small size ones - because it looks just like mum's (they do the little ones in Asda too, don't think Tesco do though).

You could always get one of these bags (usually £1) and fill it with a selection of play food. Add one of the tills mentioned earlier, and you have a ready-made playset.
