Telling older siblings

[Blackout81]

My DD is nearly 4. If all goes well tomorrow at the NT, we'll probably finally tell her this weekend. Any cute, simple ideas? Most of the stuff I see is geared towards 2-3 year olds and she's a bit older and will really get it pretty quickly, but I'd like it to be special.

What about buying a little inexpensive baby with a couple accessories for her? We got DS the cheap TRU brand "You&Me" newborn doll with a bathtub and a couple other little accessories to show him a couple newborn type things. It wasn't to tell him about the pregnancy, but he liked to carry around his baby and show us how he's going to hold his new baby brother etc.

Mine's younger (3) but we just told him. Nothing really cutesy. Just "You know how you want a brother or sister? You're going to get one."
