the favourites in our house at the moment are Barbie dolls. As much as I dislike the concept, I love the imaginative play that they do while using them so they can't be all bad. They frequently go on holidays, go to school or go camping with a kazillion barbies, princesses, dinosaurs and the occasional stuffed toy

Otherwise, pretty much everything you've mentioned. Lots of different craft stuff - plaster of paris moulds etc that they make then decorate was yesterday's after school activity. Also finding now that they're both learning so much at school that educational based stuff is something they want - activity books for writing, reading and maths etc.

Jigsaw puzzles, board games and card games are very popular too. Also nice that they're now both at the point where they understand the rules and play by them (most of the time anyway!)

We have a massive toy room with huge amounts of storage but its totally bulging. I really need to go through and cull too. My problem is that I look at something I want to get rid of - like the train activity table - because they have no interest in it anymore but know I really shouldn't because Miss A is going to want it soon.
