She's getting a doll and some accessories, and a Lego brick box to share with her sister and another set. This is not all just from us, btw, but from grandparents and aunts. She wants more Calico Critters but those will have to wait until her birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas/page/2#post-2655147 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 09:49:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 2655147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She doesn't need anything really, she's asking Santa for a Puppy Alive (already bought) and grandma is getting her the new Leap Frog Platinum. We are surprising her with a big trampoline for our new house (when we move.) </p> <p>otherwise some clothes and books. WE are going to GWL for a mini family getaway in January. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas/page/2#post-2655128 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 09:28:14 +0000 looch 2655128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Same here, we're going with the Hot Wheels AI system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653349 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 18:43:19 +0000 Boogs 2653349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS really wants a certain lego so he's getting that and not sure what else. An iPad would be so nice, especially since his school is asking for kids to work on certain educational apps at home. But, they are so expensive and it feels like they don't last as long as they should for the price (like you can't update the software anymore after a couple of years 🙁) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653333 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 18:17:13 +0000 Mama Bird 2653333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to get DS this book:https://www.amazon.com/Good-Morning-City-Pat-Kiernan/dp/0374303460</p> <p>If DH lets me, that is... he gets so upset when I get anything for the kids, because we have no room and other people keep getting them stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653261 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 16:07:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 2653261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: OK, so after some more research and speaking to some co-workers who were more familiar - it sounds like the pieces &amp; parts on this are very delicate. there is a metal rod on the cars that powers it around the track, so they cannot be played with... also the tracks are more delicately put together.... SO, since we have a 13 month old, who will definitely want to crash into this and play with the cars, i'm now leaning towards a hot wheels style set up that is more sturdy and the cars are easier to replace, and can be played with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653074 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:50:18 +0000 Mrsbells 2653074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: DD is really interested in the calico critter family of toys. I loved these growing up although they used to be called sylvanian families so I'm excited that she likes this sort of toy and cant wait to buy it for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653068 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:42:26 +0000 honeybear 2653068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year (5), we gave him Legos and the illustrated Harry Potter. This year the Lego catalog arrived and my husband handed it to him pretty much straight out of the mailbox (!), and he promptly decided that his life will be incomplete without one particular plane set, so I found it on sale and that's what he'll get. We already added the new HP to our bookshelves, but I'll probably buy a few other books I want to get and that will be it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653046 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:18:28 +0000 MaisyMay 2653046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girl turns 4 on Christmas Eve. So far, I have some princess puzzles for her, and made her sinew butterfly wings. I also want to get her some new books and make her a dress up trunk for the dresses she already has. </p> [attach=407/16/ogqtas.600x337.20161112_211744.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653043 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:11:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 2653043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: YouTube has some videos of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653042 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 11:09:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 2653042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: no I haven't. I'd like to if possible. It has good reviews! I'm hoping for some sales on Black Friday or cyber Monday too. And yeah, my husband wants it as much as our son.

LO *loves* taking pictures with my phone so I was thinking about getting her her own camera or something like that, but a watch with a camera might be even better.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2653026 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 10:43:15 +0000 looch 2653026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: My husband is trying to convince me to get that for our son too, but I am not there yet! Yesterday was the first I'd seen it. Have you seen it in person? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652895 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 06:51:47 +0000 hellobeeboston 2652895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: also, which leap pad?

I know I uses to love them growing up, and I've bought them as gifts for my nephew before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652877 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 23:52:42 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2652877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dylan got the Vtech smart watch for his birthday and loves it! It takes pictures, audio, has watch faces, timers, has a little guy that runs when you run. I wanted to hate it but I kinda like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652676 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 14:10:10 +0000 ocean81 2652676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old nephew only talks about this.

He gets Amazon videos aka commercials before potty time during our bedtime routine. Both my husband and I have lists set up that we add to. He also really wants a remote control BB-8. We've told him that his grandparents will get that for him. He's beginning to understand wanting big things for Christmas or birthdays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652668 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 14:03:01 +0000 skipra 2652668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has been asking for games. He specifically wants Connect 4 and I am thinking about the Sneaky Snacky Squirrel. He is also asking for a steam roller truck and maybe a Paw Patrol toy too because he is newly into it and we don't have anything. I am also looking for some longer picture books and some Stage 1 readers.</p> <p>ETA: The Hess truck too. My dad gives them to my kids and my nephews and they are always a huge hit. My nephew is 6.5 and still getting one this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652634 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 12:50:50 +0000 dolphin 2652634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: what kind of Early stage 1 reader books did you get? I want to get some for DD too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652469 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 07:38:45 +0000 Truth Bombs 2652469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO turns four in 2 weeks. For her bday we're doing a dress up station. For Christmas her big gift is a ride on car. Haven't decided which one yet but leaning towards the Range Rover (if mama can't have one at least she can 😂). Other smaller gifts are Usborne Books, a purse, and some games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652457 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 05:28:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2652457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the osmo kit may be our big santa gift. </p> <p>Early stage 1 reader books<br /> New winter boots<br /> Climbing passes to the zip line<br /> Maybe some doll clothes or dress up clothes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2652456 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 05:15:14 +0000 imadreamer 2652456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered the Osmo kit for my 3 year old. My friends 4 1/2 year old loves it!</p> <p>I also got her 1 year membership to the zoo, a book and will probably get her some leggings/shirts because she'll need to move up one size soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2647399 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 13:10:01 +0000 KayKay 2647399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't actually done the shopping yet, but on her list I have a sleeping bag (family camping trips next summer!), some headphones to use when flying, memberships to the zoo/etc, and one of those monthly subscriptions that is part learning/part fun (she loves getting mail...plus this way the toys are kinda spread out over the year?). She also randomly wants a fishing pole and some roller blades... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2647384 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:58:00 +0000 LulaBee 2647384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got about 10 books for her so far :shocked: and she's circling what she wants in the Target toy ad. Will pick something from there to be from Santa. Will probably throw in some Legos cause she is really into them, just worry about my 1 year old putting them in her mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2647355 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:28:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 2647355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a set of construction vehicles/car transporter things.

I'm not even going to lie. It takes up a lot of room. The nice thing about the teepee is that we can fold it up and put it by our big window when the kiddos go to bed so we don't have to have it up at all times, but still annoyingly big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2647341 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 12:10:37 +0000 kiddosc 2647341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to turn his train table into a lego table and he's getting this imaginext superhero playset. <a href="http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-imaginext-dc-super-friends-super-hero-flight-city-playset/-/A-50768560" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-imaginext-dc-super-friends-super-hero-flight-city-playset/-/A-50768560</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-4-5-year-old-for-christmas#post-2647315 Thu, 03 Nov 2016 11:35:30 +0000 NorthStar 2647315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are getting her Legos, perhaps a few puzzles, a few animals for her farm set (she loves to play with her farm), a rock/mineral project kit (she LOVES rocks), and I'm not sure what else we will do. I don't think that we will do a large gift this year. </p> <p>My mom got her a purple unicorn on a stick (like a ride on thing - she really wanted this) and a pretend school set:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Pretend-Standard-Packaging/dp/B00021Z2FU" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Learning-Resources-Pretend-Standard-Packaging/dp/B00021Z2FU</a> </p>
