What are you getting your four yearolds for the holidays?

[kibba]

I find my daughters list is pretty small and I want to pick her up 2-3 more things but not sure what... Curious what's on your kiddos list or what you plan to get them?

So far we have a unicorn pillow pet, dont break the ice board game, and two tag reader books.

Mine's a boy, but I plan on getting him a video game, some dinosaur toys, books, clothes, a Christmas ornament, a pillow pet and maybe something else I haven't decided on yet.  The boys are getting a basketball hoop as well.

[sewaneecook]

Board games are a hit around here, so I have Chutes and Ladders wrapped up.  It's also tradition to get an ornament to unwrap on Christmas Eve.  Other than that I have a small tow truck toy that DS has been begging for the last few months (it's amazing, I can spend $5 and will make him the happiest kid on Christmas morning!). 

My ILs are getting us memberships to some local attractions - zoo, aquarium, and children's museum.

DS is getting an astronaut suit, books, including one about space, stickers, and a final set of brio construction we've had in storage.

I'm making him some pj bottoms and will probably get him a jigsaw puzzle with a space theme. I'd love to get him a rocket money box but haven't seen any here.

I know my Mum has knitted a sweater for him. No idea if/what he's getting anything from anybody else.

DS is getting the playmobil pirate ship from us (a splurge but I'm hoping he'll play with it for yrs to come).  For his stocking he's got a couple of card games, a book, an ornament, and a small stuffy.  From Santa he's getting a set of wood building blocks (a joint gift for him and his brother).  I can't wait to play with the blocks!

[kdescalzi]

Our ds is getting a playmobile volcano,a new wedjits set, these new magnaforms, and a marble racer. All things that he will play with for many many months to come. I am so excited!!

[kibba]

Came to see if there were anymore posts.  Kind of funny hearing about the playmobil stuff. We've decided on a playmobil barn! I've heard costco has a set so going to check that out in the next few days. It's pricey but I'd rather have one nice toy then 5 cheap ones that get forgotten.

My ds will be 4 in January. He's getting a wooden marble run building set, some kid sized headphones because he loves to watch movies on my laptop, playdoh and some wooden playdoh toys, water color paints and brushes and a tag book. I'm sure I'll pick up a couple more books closer to Christmas, maybe the Llama Llama Holiday Drama one, we love Llama Llama books. All he is asking for is "Spiderman boots and Spiderman gloves that are red with only webs on them" but I have had no luck so far. Looks like I may be painting some red rain boots with black paint! I'm thinking about picking up a memory game, but he's just not really into games yet, so I'm not sure.

My kids each get 3 gifts and a book.

E (4.5) is getting a remote control robot, kinex, and fortamajig

N (2.5) is getting a bouncy ball with handle, trio blocks, and wooden cookie/pie/cake sets for her kitchen.

My 4.5 yo is getting legos and Star Wars guys. A big chunk of the presents are actually for him and my 2 yo to share since they play with the same stuff now, lots of Imaginext and an easel. Also the Nickelodeon Fit game for Wii.

My oldest 2 are 3 yrs and 5 yrs and are getting a castle along with figures to go with it, movies, ds games, guitars.  I really wanted to get them a marble run but will wait til their birthday or next Christmas since my younges is only 2 and they are getting the castle.

[greenemami]

dd will not be quite four yet, but is getting an our generation doll (lke a knockoff american girl doll since she loves her big sisters AG doll), a paperdoll set with clothes, an art set, and some card games. 

[mamadelbosque]

DS1 is nearly 4 (bday early march), and he's getting a bunch of imaginext stuff (space shuttle, space station and one alien), along with some cars from the movie Cars, a nerf gun, umm.. candyland... thats from us. No idea what anyone else is getting him. Likely a pillow pet. :shrug

[Oliver'sMom]

my almost 4yo is way into christmas this year and dictated a long list for me to send to santa this year,but what he's actually getting is:

a playmobil airplane (funny how so many other kids are getting playmobil)

a bruder jeep with horse trailer

lincoln logs

maybe a new thomas train for his wooden train set

a stocking full of little things

[earthmama369]

Among other things, my four-year-old asked for a couple of pizzas, a real robot he wants to name Wally, a skateboard for his sister, bananas, and a jet pack. *lol*

I did find a pretend-play jetpack with wings that pop out. I think he'll have fun with that. Bananas and oranges will make their way into his stocking. I picked up a pair of dinosaur slippers and a dress-up veterinarian outfit for my grandmothers to give him (they're 90 and 89 years old and don't like hitting the mall anymore). We usually get him some books and a pair of holiday pajamas. I'm also making a boy doll for him and my father is making some furniture out of laurel wood from his property. I'm also making a doll for dd, and they'll be getting a tea set to go with the dolls and furniture.

Beyblade set, Leapster card game, Matchbox truck and car set, Transformer puzzle and one more thing that DH will buy later and wants it to be a surprise.  From my mom, a Leapster video gamer with two games and a couple of other items.  From my IL's, an air hockey table set and a couple of other things that are TBA.  A family friend got him a tool workshop set. 

We're bunking up the boys soon in to one room and then turning the other in to a playroom. That way, we'll be able to weed out the toys that are no longer being played with, set up a train table and a few other things that have been sitting in the basement.
