What's a good B-day gift for a 4 year old Girl?

[lyterae]

It depends on the girl... My 4.5 year old is currently obsessed with princesses of any kind, she also very much enjoys doing puzzles and reading books.

At that age, DD liked a wide variety of stuff:

- Supplies for drawing and other arts/crafts (I preferred getting stuff she could do herself)
- Books
- Toys for imaginative play (tent/house, play food, kitchen and tea party stuff, dress up clothes)
- DD was (and still is) very into "homework" workbooks (at that time, for learning the alphabet, simple spelling, or numbers)
- Board games

DD was also into princess and fairy stuff (as well as superheroes), but that was generally more of one of many themes in the above list rather than separate toys.

My DD enjoys her kite, anything to do with birds (from flashcards to soft toys!), her space hopper, anything to do with bugs, her metal detector, her dress-up clothes (mostly homemade) and her books.

stomp rocket!- my 3 yo got one this year and then we gave one to our friend who turned 7yo. Everyone from the 2 yo to the adults had a BLAST playing with it!

We're getting DD her first bike (with training wheels, of course!).

DD is turning 4 next month and these are some of the gifts we are telling family who ask:

Books

Lg floor puzzles
Small backpack
Liv doll (sold at Target)
Wooden food sets:cupcakes, bread, food & beverages
Barbie in A Mermaid Tale- DVD (this series of Barbie movies are better than you think!)
Pretend & Play Cash Register Play Set

if its a child you dont really know then try some oddball art supply. not the usual colouring book, crayons kinda stuff but more the KLUTZ brand of toys. or look at your local art store. they have great ideas at our art stores. or if you have the time putting together a bunch of items in a basket that she might enjoy. at that age they are fascinated with miniature things - so anything you get miniature would be a hit.

oh i also wanted to add. the invitation itself can be the clue. if it has princesses on it, you KNOW anything princess will go great. i always though include the gift receipt in case of multiplicity.
