    What are you buying your 3/4 year old for Christmas?

    My DD will be 4 in January, and we have no idea what to get her for Christmas.
    With her birthday in January also- I need LOTS of ideas!

    I'm in the same boat this year aswell right down to DDs birthday in January. For her birthday in considering a cabbage patch doll, the only other things on my list is some craft supplies, a new school bag for pre school and a few new dresses

    My DD was 4 in Oct and for Christmas she is getting a bike (all the kids are getting bikes) she is also getting some gardening stuff like a wheelbarrow, garden tools etc as she loves spending time in the garden with DH and wants to grow her own flowers. She has also asked o
    If Santa can bring her a fishing rod, as you can tell she is an outdoorsy kid

    My 4 year old is getting a framed print for his room, a novelty pillow in the shape of a truck, books and lego. Maybe a train table and dress ups too depending on the budget.

    Thanks ladies!

    Yesterday we wrote a letter to Santa, with a 'wish' list.
    Turns out, she had a lot more ideas than me!
    Here are some:
    Dolly that cries and walks
    Dolly pram
    New thongs
    Peppa pig towel
    iPod
    Sunglasses

    Yes, DS is a lot more opinionated on what he wants these days!

    His list includes:
    A scooter
    Lego (he's told us a couple of specific sets)
    'Hard' Puzzles

    We've also bought him:
    A globe
    Basketball hoop
    Hammer and nail set thing (sounds like what Feeb said!)
    Zoo calendar

    Might not give him everything at Christmas, and one pressie will be from baby brother when he's born!

    We got little tent/sleeping bag sets and headlamp/compass sets for our 5.5 and 3 yos
    DD will also get bandaids and stickers and postit notes, probably, as she loves sticky things.
    DS got a mini tool set at 3. And we've done gardening stuff, too. Last year, 4.5, he got telescope and binoculars (they both love that sort of thing).
    I like the camera idea. I'm forever deleting pointless pictures off my phone.
