Cousin’s DD. I have no idea what she already has. Must be able to get from Amazon because I need it for Saturday. Help! |
Stuffed unicorn |
Something she can enjoy and use even if it's a duplicate. Maybe order one of those craft/creativity sets with a bunch of different little crafts and art supplies in it like suncatchers, etc. Get a theme like Frozen or something if you want. There are some that are for ages 3+. They can always use it on a rainy day for entertainment, or have a friend over to do a craft.

+1 to some sort of craft set
Crayons/coloring books Small set of magnetiles |
Playmobil fairy garden play box
Or the playmobil horse play box |
I like the small Tegu sets. Good for travel, okay if duplicate, small (so parents don't get annoyed). |
+1. Stickers or a new craft (especially one that isn't super complicated) can always be used up and enjoyed. |
sticker books are fun, portable & no clean up or pieces to keep track of

Melissa and Doug magnetic wooden "paper" dolls. If she hasn't entered the princess phase yet, there is also this nifty one with clothes for different professions.

What's the earliest age for which you would recommend Zingo? |
Says 4 and up but 3.5 can probably start |
NP: my DD played Zingo successfully with friends just before they all turned 4. It’s a favorite and I’ve recently bought it for gifts for her other friends.
I would recommend one of those big Melissa & Doug wooden bead kits. My DD loved it when she received it as a gift at 3.5. She loves painting but I don’t always have time to supervise real paint. Kwik Stix are awesome for this! |
