Gift Ideas for ages 4-6

[My2CrazyGirls]

Since there have been lots of posts about Christmas 2011 and Black Friday 2011 I have been thinking about WHAT I am going to get my kids for Christmas! So I decided to start a thread for gift ideas for children aged 4 - 6. We can make thread for many age groups

Post what you are getting the 4, 5, and 6 year olds in your life! Post what they are asking for this holiday season as well as for their birthday!

My 6 year old will most likely be getting money for her summer vacation to spend at AG in NY($25-$50) a new bed set, some cheap smaller girl toys like little pet shop which now thankfully they sell at the dollar store She has enough toys and such, might throw in a few new outfits.

My nephew is getting custom made scrub PJ's if I like the ones that my DD is expecting in the mail from Etsy . My Niece ,I was thinking of doing the same thing or buying a handmade crayon/colouring book carrier from Etsy.

My 6 year old is really into her Bitty Baby twins, so we'll probably get accessories for them. She also likes craft stuff (kits to make necklaces, bracelets, picture frames, etc).

My 6 year old has a Pillow Pet but she REALLY wants a Happy Napper.

My almost 5 year old wants a DSi. She has a DS but it doesn't take pictures. I wonder if she would prefer the DSi XL or the DS 3D?

For Christmas gifts at the young ages I always waited until about November to shop as there is a good chance they will change their minds. I did pick up stocking stuffers as I found them.

For my boys it was more about 1-2 big things that they really wanted, and then we filled out with books and some smaller things.

But to really answer your question, my godson is 3 years old (almost your age group) and I got him a James (Thomas train) t-shirt and socks for his birthday. He loved them. For Christmas each year he gets one piece of a nativity set that I counted cross stitched. He already had the creche. So far he has Jesus, Joseph and Mary. (They showed up all at once!) an angel and a shepherd.

As he gets older I plan to give him gift cards for his birthday. Right now his mom knows just what he wants.

-Leapster game
-Princess and the Frog DVD
-Iron Man helmet
-book about the human body

They're like over-sized pipe cleaners. My 4yo loves making things with them and unlike play doh they don't leave a mess.

Are they like Fuzzoodles?

I'm not sure. What are Fuzzoodles.

Can I just get them nothing and tell them we're saving for Disney?

My 6-year old (girl) wants Furry Frenzies (like zhu-zhu pets, but there are dogs, cats, mice). She also has been asking for "GoGo My Walkin' Pup" since last Christmas, but that thing is $40-50 and I just don't know how much she'll play with it. She's also a sucker for tiny toys like Squinkies. Cute flower headbands too. We also buy blank paperback books at the art store and she writes/draws stories.

For my almost 4-year old boy, this is the year of the LEGO. He has the Duplos, but we're moving him up! My girls and boys both enjoy LEGOs, and we're going with a box of assorted pieces, as opposed to a set that makes one certain project.

And books. ALWAYS books!

My girls want new hockey skates and clothes for their American Girl dolls.

I do have to say my new favorite gift for kids are "Find It" games. Many times we draw names at Christmas for a second cousin's child and I have no idea what to get them. Everyone loves these!

I have been thinking about this alot lately!

I am thinking my 6 yo DS may be getting:

legos
books
some Discovery Toys games
new clothes
Cars 2 Bluray
a new bike


they usually get GCs to Build a Bear

and he will probably get 3DS or NGP

looking forward to some ideas!

Also....there are a lot of brand new & innovative board games that just came out for Xmas. Check Toys R' Us for the best selection.

My son is almost 6 and has been into Legos and Playmobil since he was about 4. I think these toys are great for girls or boys.

 

[My2CrazyGirls]

What will be better for my 5 year old girl, a DSi XL or the 3D DS? Pros and cons to each?

 

[My2CrazyGirls]

So what is everyone getting for their 4-6 year olds? I am getting Happy Napper, alarm clock radio (Hello Kitty), Jewelry Box, card game Zoobles, Dolls...
