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.
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.
