Here is the giant mecha Devin 2011 Gonna-b-4 Wish List of DOOM!!! ^TM
I'm thinking the big thing is to get her something that will make her want my phone less ;). The choices are the
Vtech - InnoTab vs. the
LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet. Both have pluses and minuses. I'm currently leaning toward the LeapFrog one, but I think Devin would love either ;).
"Books" for her V-Tech V-Reader:
Disney's Cars 2Disney's TangledMickey Mouse ClubhouseShrek's Vacation Dev's VERY into her dress-up and play-pretend these days. Some ideas include:
Snow White's Dress (specifically asked for) (and tiara and wand)
Disney's Rapunzel's Dress (specifically asked for)
Shoes
Melissa & Doug Children's Chef Costume Construction Worker (specifically asked for)
Jewelry, Glasses
Wings (yes)
Tutus (!!)
Hats, headbands and tiaras (yes)
Feathers and big, fun hair pieces

Phineas & Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension Little girl is always up for a game! And, uh... the less little pieces, the better ;):
Richard Scarry Busy Town board gameChutes and Ladders Super Hero SquadUniversity Games Super Why ABC Letter Preschool GameLet's Go Fishin (actually a Disney Princess one)

And other than all that...:
Playdoh and molds/tools for it
Dolls... open and vague. She enjoys brushing doll hair and undressing them. I don't love Barbies and prefer Princess dolls, but that's the Disney snob in me ;). I think My Little Ponies might fall in here too.
Littlest Pet Shop (yes!)
She has NOTHING for her Loving Family Dollhouse she got last X-Mas...
living room,
bathroom,
kitchen, etc.
Playfood. STILL. Though she has a ton.

et alAny of the
Safari figurines, like the
Sealife,
Fairy Fantasies,
Mythical Realms,
Down on the Farm,
Dawn of The Dinos,
Zoo Babies Toobs... she was ENTHRALLED with the fantasy individuals collection at the toy store like the
dragons,
fairies and
mythical creatures, and has said she wants ALL the dinos <3.
Things more for her ROOM, for chaos and comfort:
Toy chest/container (for dress up and for general toys ;))
Doll net for her wall
Wall mounted shelves
Gift card to
Simple Design wall decalsTwin sized bed sheets
And... clothes... ;)
She is solidly in T4/4 (she wears both pretty well), so anything to be worn sooner should be in a 4, anything Springier I would think should be a 5. She's in size 6 undies. She's in a shoe size 9 right now, but I think we'll be outgrowing that soon. Blue is still her favorite color. When given the choice, she wears a LOT of dresses these days. No jeans please; she has a ton and refuses to wear them all. Refuses pajamas too. Leggings are popular, and she seems to like corduroys. She loves sweaters. We are Very Fancy <3. And Very Soft. (LOTS!)
Annddd... I think that's good for now. Enjoy these guidelines ;). And PLEASE shop around, prices vary wildly.
