Gift Guide: Little Lady



Clockwise from top right:
North American Bear Company Big Sister Doll: I love these dolls for their classic, squeezable design and variety of skin tones available. There are also lots of cute outfits and accessories to add to the fun. Perfect for 3-6 year olds.
Disney Tangled Deluxe Story Bag: My little one has just about all of the Disney Princesses in this style of figure. They are the perfect size for an older toddler or preschooler. Each figure stands about 3" tall, perfect for playing in her Melissa and Doug castle, or for mixed play with her Fisher Price Little People. She loves to change their outfits and act out her own little princess drama's.
Just Dance Kids for Nintendo Wii: Embarrassing admission ahead: I own the adult version of this game and play it on my own sometimes in lieu of traditional cardio. My little one has caught me a few times, and wants to join in the "fun." This version has kid appropriate moves and songs, so adults and little one's can get in on the action, without worry that your little princess is going to whip out some Brittney Spears dance moves in Pre-K.
Melissa and Doug Fold and Go Princess Castle: My little one has the full size version of this at home, and its so cute. This is perfect for younger kids, trips to Grandma's, or those short on space {the full size castle takes up a good three square feet of space!}. There is also an adorable Woodland Tree House version, perfect for playing with Calico Critters, or Tinkerbell and her Fairy Friends, as well as a castle version for boys, and a traditional dollhouse.
J. Crew Crewcuts Girls' Converse® Jack Purcell® metallic sneakers: I want one of everything for my little princess. Crewcuts is J Crew quality and styles translated for little bodies. Whats not to love?
Lego's Large Pink Brick Box: A classic for encouraging creative thinking, coordination, and spatial skills-- in girl friendly colors.
Leapfrog Leappad: The gift of the season for the 4-7 year old. My daughter received this for her birthday and plays with it daily. There are lots of educational games and books, and it is really a perfect item to keep kids quiet, occupied, and learning.
Classic Games: Jenga, Connect Four, and Operation: As much as I love the Wii and the Leappad for keeping my little one occupied when I need to do something, like cooking dinner, they are not a replacement for interaction with your children. These games are all classics, and perfect for an older toddler or preschooler to have some traditional family fun with mommy and daddy. 

Other gifts I love for little one's are books, classics such as Berenstain Bears, Veggie Tales, and Curious George are always fun for little one's, as well as mildly educational or informative; Outfits from Gap Kids are always adorable; and crafty gifts like this fairy garden, butterfly garden, make your own tutu set, paper flowers, or this flower fairy kit which encourage little thinkers to get creative are another solid winner.
