1) Lego
So little boys love Lego it seems and now the Lego brand is tapping the little girl market. My little one loves them!
2) Necklaces
Starting from about age 3 little girls LOVE necklaces and bracelets and dressing up. There are such beautiful, colourful, fun things for them. The price needs to be right though as from experience, whether cheap or expensive, these things break with little fingers playing with them all the time... they are too irresistible! The one above is from Kangaroo Care at Etsy (http://www.etsy.com/listing/95858635/bright-princess-necklace-for-a-little) for $20 and $4 postage.
However Cotton On have great options that change all the time and are super cheap. This bracelet is $4! See http://shop.cottonon.com/shop/kids/
Seed (www.seedheritage.com) also do nice things for a bit more. These beads are $10 so still good value!
3) Build & Paint Bird Feeder
Craft is king for my 5 year old! So this gift has reigned supreme! I have a wonderful sister-in-law who always comes up with perfect gifts! This one came from the Australian Geographic shop, and is brilliant because not only do they paint and build but it then gets proudly hung in the yard for the birds to feast on. Our attempt does not look much like the picture (at all) but it is still a fun thing to have around the yard. One point to note, putting together was a bit of a challenge - we ended up using superglue to hold it altogether.
Here is the link to purchase from direct Australian Geographic at $24.95 plus postage (http://shop.australiangeographic.com.au/-Build-Paint-Bird-Feeder-P2410.aspx).
4) Paper doll dress up kit
This gift was played with for hours at a time, obsessively for days! The paper things did rip and tear but nothing a bit of sticky tape can't fix! I also had to remake the stand for the doll due to ripping (from overuse!) so I used the paper as a template to make a hardier, cardboard one. All that said it is a great gift idea!
By this age, my little one is really into Barbie. This kit has pretty, tasteful outfits to dress her rather than some of the slapper outfits available for the real dolls. Look at Booktopia (http://www.booktopia.com.au/runway-barbie-dress-up-doll-kit-the-five-mile-press/prod9781741789898.html?gclid=CNfihd-Gj7UCFYpZpQodr3UANw) you can purchase for $5.40 plus postage!
