S/O: Christmas gift ideas for 4 yo DD

[catpagmo]

The thread about xmas gifts for a 4 yo boy has me wondering what I can get for DD. I have bought a few things for her already, like dress up stuff, a leapster, a movie, coloring books and Hanna mocs.

I should mention that her bday is on Christmas day, so I am doing double the amount of shopping. I need lots of ideas!

Have any ideas?

DD4 is getting the following from us or family:

Bitty baby bath tub, snack set, and matching night gown.
several books/snow white dvd
Tag reader and lots of books. I was able to buy a bunch super cheap in the summer.
Snow white dress and matching doll dress (made by nana)
Towel for her baby doll (she is really into her dolls!)
She is also asking for the Precious Place Swan Palace and Swan Boat. I was thinking about getting her a couple of the extra figure sets to go with it.

DD really loves do-a-dot markers and using the activity books they make as well. I should get her another book for christmas....

I'll be watching this thread! I have a 4-y-o DN to buy for. But her Mimi (grandma & primary caregiver) doesn't like anything with lots of parts. I'd love to hear your ideas!

This sounds great! Can you tell me more about it? Where do you get the markers and books?

I have bought mine at Lakeshore Learning, but they usually have them at teacher supplies and then nicer toy stores like Learning Express. I wasn't planing on buying the books, but a worker at the Lakeshore store highly recommended them, and dd has gone through 2 books already since I bought them this summer. They are kinda like a coloring book, but made for the dot markers. DD loved the mermaid one alot.

Thanks traciann! My DD would love those!

I have heard that you can sometimes find them at Michael's. At least worth a call to the store.

Bumping!

Still hoping for more suggestions!
