gift ideas for my soon to be 4 year old!

My daughter is 4 in August so wanted to start thinking about finding something to make for her. Last year i made her a tea set ( http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/crochet-tea-set-foodstuffs ) and she loves playing with it Happy
This year i want to make her another thing/things that she will love. I've been looking on ravelry for ideas but so far haven't come up with anything.

It doesn't necessarily have to be crochet, i can sew and generally craft (can't knit). If any of you have seen anything cute feel free to share with me!

OOOH! Lucky, at least you get a girl. My neighbor is gonna be 4 in july, He's a great kid but he is hard to make gifts for, and I almost never have any money. Usually I have to go to the dollar store, but back to your question:


Colored bubbles: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/colour-bubbles

Make her a similar tiara to this: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/blow-your-own-trumpet-tiara (((( I recommend, if doing this, that you make a princess kit, with a dress, wand, crowns, ect. ))))

Rainbow crayon : http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/rainbow_crayon_2 If you do this you could also make a coloring book by printing out black and white pictures

You could make her a chef set, to go with the teaset. Make a hat, apron and felt food along with some of your old cooking utensils (no link, just an idea)

Here you can make a toaster, to do whatever with: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/free-tutorial-diy-felt-toast

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/felt-toy-pattern-doll-house That is for a doll house, which you could do with felt covered card stock/board

There is a lot of ways to make dolls, if you make one, maybe make some clothes to go along with?

This is a treasure. DIY dress up station out of an entertainment center

Another out of an entertainment center: play kitchen! http://easypeasypie.blogspot.com/2011/02/play-kitchen.html AND another variation http://betterafter.blogspot.com/2011/03/winner-and-hot-pink-and-zebras.html That one is more pink, and whatnot.

Dancing rings: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/dancing-ribbon-rings

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/ispy-sensory-jar I spy jar

http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/stained_glass_kaleidoscope Kaleidoscope with stained glass




And that is all I could find. Most of the things are small, but fun. When I was little, my parents got me like 12 or 15 tiny gifts, and made a scavenger hunt for each gift, and that was really cool. But anywas, I hope I helped, and if you have any ideas for a 4 year boy, shoot em my way Happy

My boyfriend's little sister just turned 4 a few days ago Happy. Try dress up items! Bling a crown (you could even put her name on it), make a pretty fairy wand and wings, ballet slippers with ribbon, or make some flower and ribbon clip-ins for her hair. There are so many pretty things you can make for a little girl Happy

Well I decided on a pirate captains coat for her as she's obsessed with pirates ATM. Will also try and make accessories like a coin bag and some pirate-y necklaces Happy
