    Anyone with a 4 year old daughter....?

    I need some inspiration.

    DD's birthday is next week and I just wondered what sort of things your 4 year old is really into.

    She's not really into dolls at all, though she does like "girly" things and dancing. Loves to draw, create etc.

    Just a bit stumped for something a bit different

    i have a four year old niece - and she is pretty much like your DD - dolls she can give or take, but she loves creative things

    some stuff she got for her bday -
    disney princess suitcase set - she packs all her horses in this (though i know she initially said her coloring books)
    art set (paints, textas, pencils etc)
    beading set - larger beads
    playdoh stuff
    lots of arty stuff (coloring books etc)
    pretty stuff for her hair
    horse books

    not sure if that helps at all...

    When my second DD turned 4 we got her a bulldozer LOL - it's what she really wanted so we got it for her (no gender stereotypes here LOL). Anyway other things that she is into are all the crafty things, beading - anything she can make herself. For stocking fillers this year I was going to get her some Kids music CD's, hair stuff, little lip glosses etc.

    For a 4 year old girl you can't go past a hula hoop! They have them at my DS1's kinder and the kids love them!

    For her 4th birthday Grace got a bicycle (with training wheels) and a helmet, a baby alive doll and a dancing dora doll. She is a doll girl, obviously! A friend of mine also gave her a scrapbook, chalk, pencils and felt pens and she loved that - she likes colouring in and drawing. Another thing she got that she loved was a little craft set where she had to decorate a tote bag. Everything was stick on - she had great fun doing that.

    My goddaughter will be four in February & she's right into Bindy Irwin, so she gets lots of animal type presents (and a trip to the zoo each year!).

    When Matilda turned 4 in June I had friends & family get colouring in books and texta's and stuff like that. We actually just did a party... a wildlife party with heaps of lizards and geckoes and snakes... we didn't actually buy her a gift. The party was huge and she got enough gifts. I don't think she even knew that we didn't give her a gift.

    ATM she loves playing with the kitchen stuff and cooking things, play dough, doll house, swimming (floaties etc are good pressies for that, goggles), books... books... books. We went and bought a heap of pre-reading books lately because she's recognising letters and wanting to learn.
