Can you please help out with a gift idea around $50 to appeal to a three and five year old that is also safe to have in the house with a 9mo?

Thank you!!

I really like the wooden cut-up fruit and veggies from Melissa and Doug.
That seems big enough to not be a hazard for the little one but fun pretend play for the bigger girls.
They also have a Pizza one but I don't know how big the pieces are that make up the toppings...
Those are only about $20 each though.
Were you looking for something bigger?

They are pretty small - about 1 inch

. Probably too small with a 9 month old.

My nieces loved this fairy bower canopy I got them one Christmas. It was about that much - maybe from Magic Cabin or some place like that.

Play silks?
Doll furniture?

The wooden food is a good idea, too.

good luck!

My girls are 2 and 4 and they really like the Littlest Pet Shop stuffed toys. One is $19.99, and then there is a set that comes with one plus a little one for $29.99, so for $50 you'd have 2 big ones for the older girls and a little baby one for the baby. They come in different animals so each girl could have their own animal (kitten, puppy, rabbit, etc) and the older girls would be thrilled that the baby gets a little one too. I don't think there is anything hazardous on them. I think they're adorable. Plus, they come with an online code to access the website. The 5 yr old could do that most likely, and the 3 yr old could watch. I bought one pink kitten and one brown puppy. Can't wait till Christmas when they open them! G/L!

i just ordered this for my 8yo dd but with help from an adult i think the two older girls could have fun and include the baby once she's a little bigger!
