What are you getting your 6/7 old girl for Christmas?

[auprincess]

I think this is about the age where kids start to split into those who still like toys and dolls, and those who like older things. So, it really depends on your daughter. Mine is turning 7 in November, and she is more on the younger age. She still loves princesses, drawing, dolls, etc. She wants her birthday party at Build A Bear. It's fine; I'm in no rush for her to grow up.

This ~ my 6 year old DD is also into the younger stuff still. So far I have gotten her a John Smith doll and Pocahontas' clothes from the Disney Store (she has Pocahontas and the dolls have been 2 for 18). She really doesn't need anymore barbies, but I thought this was a good compromise! The problem is, she plays with the same types of things ~ barbies, small prinecesses, etc. I think I am going to get her, and my other 2, each one of the toddler princess dolls, they are $15 at Wal-Mart. Probably some princess squinkies; some kind of craft and books and a game. I also bought her a few nightgowns (7.99 at disney store). She has been eyeing the Lalaloopsy treehouse thing ~ problem is she only occassionally plays with the dolls, but I'm sure if she had the set she would play with it more.

my 6 & 7 y/o granddaughters are getting:

* ipod shuffles with cd's to share (ant farm, victorious and shake it up and selena gomez)
*Lion king dvd with plush simba and nayla from the disney store
* PJ's & Slippers
* barbies
they want the barbie townhouse but at $149 I'm not sure. It doesn't look very sturdy and I don't know how much they would play with it after the 1st few weeks. their lists also keep changing weekly

Keep an eye on amazon. I found the Disney princess castle a couple of years ago for $38!!! I was totally stoked! It was about a week before Christmas.

My DD7 is getting (I think...):

*Boxcar children books

We love the Boxcar Series. My turned-eight-last-week daughter is also eating up the Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls series by Meg Cabot.

I solved the Barbie Townhouse problem by bringing mine down from my parent's house in Michigan (thank gosh they are mini-hoarders). I think the fact it came out in 1977 is a bit of a novelty, as well as the fact we still have all the original furnishings and the box! I can't say it has gotten tons of play, but at least my two daughters know to cross the 2011 version off the list!
