Tinker Bell
Christmas Gift Ideas For Girls in 2010
With Christmas fast approaching it is easy to get into a dilemma about presents for children. On the one hand you can fall into purchasing something that will satisfy a quick fix, a toy that is popular now but has no substance and will fall by the wayside a few weeks after New Year.
A little bit of forethought can alleviate this issue by taking time to find toys for children that are engaging, well made and will last a long time, despite trends that come and go. If you are wondering what to purchase a little girls this year for Christmas then take a look at a few of the following ideas as they each have merits beyond the immediate phase or initial excitement.
The Leaspter Explorer is a new handheld console from Leapster that combines an educational learning tool with a games machine. The third in Leapfrog’s line of Leapster toys this latest version comes with a touch screen capability. Games that come in the form of downloads or cartridges bought separately, feature favourites like Tinker Bell, Dora, Disney Princesses and Toy Story.
Each game has a specific curriculum focus and girls will want to learn Maths as they journey along with Tinker Bell on the quest for the lost treasure, or spelling with the Disney Princesses in their storybook land. The games are empowering and meaningful and test more than how fast you can push a button. The Leapster also includes access to ebooks for further reading fun and means the toy will keep her interest for a long time.
If you are looking for something more wholesome then try the Calico Critters range of animal figures. Small and cute but with intricate detail this range of toys is sweet and innocent, with a touch of playfulness. The animals all have their own names and characteristics and come in family groups. They can interact with each other or with the various houses and vehicles in the range.
Musical toys are also big this year and you can check out guitars from Paper Jamz or the Hannah Montana Guitar from Washburn, both of which have play elements coupled with educational features to teach chords and basic music theory.
Disney Fairies are always big and with a new Tinker Bell movie out this year, they are sure to be popular again this Christmas. There are a wide range of Tinker Bell books and toys but choose wisely as some are fairly cheap and will not stand up to regular play. Amazon is a good place to read about other parents’ experiences.
The best toys are those that grow with your child, they challenge and inspire kids, allowing them to create their own stories with the tools they have. These toys for girls will allow them to play and grow for month after the Christmas period.
