Moms help me please

What do I buy a 5year old girl for her birthday and an almost 4 year old boy??

[eb777888]

Well, 4 y/o boy would be puzzles, stickers, Legos, cars/trucks, dinosaurs...

[Deleted]

Legos.

[gretchenindisguise]

Yeah, pretty much anything Frozen would appease my nearly 5 y.o.

Also books/stickers on butterflies and princesses.

My 5-year-old is also obsessed with Frozen. She also loves Lalaloopsy & Hello Kitty. Gift certificates for places like Target or Toys R Us are a lot of fun, too, minus the headaches it can cause parents as they agonize over just what to get.

[Jermys]

For the girl, anything Frozen, Doc McStuffins, or Princess Sofia. Or stickers. Or Lego for either kid.

Every five year old girl I know likes easy craft things. Like

or this

Legos, Magnatiles, or a fort-making kit for the boy.

Crafts, legos, books for girls. I was just at a 5 y/o party, and the biggest hit for all of the girls was a Barbie. I was surprised! They all screamed & squealed.

go to the fisher price aisle and buy ANYTHING that says, "imaginext" on it.

I will second this. DS loves his Imaginext city and the accessories. I joke it's like a Barbie dream house for boys. He will spend an hour playing with it.

Lacing beads are another favorite. Melissa and Doug has a good set.

These are HUGE hits for my kid. She got some for her 5th birthday, and no lie, went and did a 1000 sticker jewelry box all in one sitting, alone in her room. She was obsessed. Still loves them.

Also - Perler beads. OMG, she can't get enough of the Perler beads:

For boys, I'd also say crafting stuff - maybe a puppet kit they make with stickers on a paper bag (obviously this would work for a girl too). Otherwise I'd say puzzles or legso (good for girl too) or trains.

My son is 4 and he loves a lot of the same things others have mentioned.  Here are some pics/links of things he has and plays with a lot:

Superheroes and their villains of any sort like these:
  



Legos (especially the lego people).  He has various sets, but he loves this one b/c it combines with his love of superheroes  ha




Imaginext Rescue City Center and accessories  (other vehicles, characters, etc... - they talk to each other, it's pretty cool  ha)



His football uniform:



For girls, he just got invited to a party and I just got her a Frozen story/cd readalong and some Frozen wall decals.


Sorry this got so big - hope it helps, and happy shopping!

my 3.5yo boy would rather chew through his own arm than do crafts. LOL!

see, as a mother of only girls, this is where I fail.  I basically figured "I'm not going to be all sexist and suggest that crafts are just for girls.  They do crafts at preschool, so OF COURSE boys would want crafting stuff at home."  I'll go back to my craft and sticker infested, princess and glitter bombed bubble now.
