gifts for 3-4year old

[Nauvoo]

Just wondering what Santa will be bringing to other 3-4years olds this Christmas? I'm at a loss.

When my dd was 3 she loved these Hama beads:

You can get all kinds of sets, they are brilliant.  Actually most the stuff she liked doing at 3/4 she still likes now although her play is more sophisticated so little figures, Lego, dressing up clothes, tea set and lots and lots of crafty stuff (scissors, glue stick, stickers, coloured paper etc). Outdoor stuff always goes down a treat too, sandpit/table that closes so can be used in the winter has been a great buy.

DS is 4 and we are getting him a leap pad explorer...x

Duplo has been the biggest hit here for the past year.   He now plays with it alongside playmobil

Dd is 3 and she will be getting a doll house.  This one to be specific lol.

There is another one that is cheaper but you have to buy all the furniture seperately and once you do that it ends up being more expensive!  And yes its plastic but dd has stated she wants Santa to bring her this one as her best friend has the same exact one.  Go figure lol

what is she into? does she love building, dress up, pretend play, outdoorsy things? Is she into animals, arts and crafts, adventure?

Last year Nick got a tuxedo, so that's not much help and yes, it was on HIS list...go figure. 

I love having craft kits to pull out on snowy days. a new sled, swimming lessons over the winter at an indoor pool, kids' magazine subscription, window sill garden, legos/playmobil, ... hmmm. thinking ....

The bead kit is a great idea!!!!!
She has a doll house that DH built, got it last Christmas. She also has a subscription to a magazine that she loves!!!! She loves for it to come in the mail, actually it's part of my subscription.  And she is getting a ton of legos for Christmas from her uncle.
However, I love the idea of a sand pit also!!!  And if it snowed here she would love a sled!

Wow those beads look kinda small for a 3yo. I bet they be great for their fine motor skills though.

Cadan has his 3rd birthday just before Christmas and on his list are -
Scooter
Button bracelets ( I don't think we'll get these as they are quite expensive and I really can't see him playing with them that much - saw a TV ad)
Mike the Knight Glendragon playset
Mickey Mouse plush toy
Name sign for his bedroom
Mr Men books (more, he has the main set of 50 already)
Wooden alphabet puzzle (he has this one already and loves it so wants another similar one  http://www.littlebundles.co.uk/alphabet-zoo.ir?cName=puzzles-alphabet-puzzles )
Dynamo torch (for his tent/camps he makes in the living room)

I think we did a lot of playmobil last year, that and craft stuff was the winner.

Also, construction sets but maybe they are very boy - oriented?

I love this blog and I thought these were good lists.  I'll be borrowing from them!
