DD is 2 1/2. She loves to sing and color and do imaginative play. We have tons of crayons, markers, paper, poster paper, easil etc... We also have a ton of dress up and a play kitchen already. Anyone have other suggestions of what to get for her this holiday season?

DS is 5. He is into the human body, the solar system and of course spiderman, batman and ben 10. He has SID so he is just now getting into riding a bike and a scooter (we have both). He isn't into computers or computer games (we have a leapster he rarely uses). Does anyone know of any age appropriate items related to the human body and the solar system? (FWIW, we are getting him the game operation).

Your kids sound a lot like mine! DS got a cool human body "puzzle" of sorts, it was a fairly small bust of a body that came with organs and pieces that came out. You then had to figure out how to put them back in, it might have been from Hearthsongs or something? I can try to find it.

And I'm getting DD (who is very theatrical and imaginative and into singing) a standing microphone, I think it's called the Star Singalong Mic.
