[thundersweet]

I am looking for things for my dd for her 4th birthday. She is getting a bike. I also ordered a Joys Waldorf button baby but doubt it will be here in time. My mom is getting her a doll highchair and cradle from www.playstoretoys.com along with a little mermaid waldorf doll.

What are some great toys your kids love? I prefer the natural type toys but want to hear all your ideas. Also, whats your fav online store to buy from?

Thanks!!

Favorite toys? Changes too often to say. But my girls love to play dress up and they love their felt boards.

My twins were 4 in Feb. Their favorite toys:

Leap Pads
My Little Pony
magnetic paper dolls
their art boxes (coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, chalk, chalkboard all in a box with a blackboard lid)
princess dolls with different outfits
baby dolls
blankets - they are blankets for picnics, wrapping paper for presents, used on the dolls, sacks for their small toys, capes, etc.
purses - good for carrying their toys all over the house
legos
blocks
horses

And they play with *all* of this every single day.
