I highly recommend these dress-up dresses for any girl who loves princesses AND getting muddy! They wash up super well in the washing machine and are very durable.

I will always recommend art supplies and gifts that are “consumable” (aka don’t create clutter!)
This is the ultimate screen-free gift that will stand the test of time. They can listen to stories, music, and podcasts with no animated images. It’s easy to use and such an amazing gift! It also has an “okay to wake” light option.

Any of the Wellie Wishers by American Girl would be a perfect gift for a young child who is interested in dolls! They are a smaller (14”) version of the American Girl dolls and are absolutely adorable!

Calico critters are the perfect gift, especially if they already have some of the same type of toy. I love gifts that build on something they already have, kind of like Legos or train sets.

It’s a classic for a reason. This is the toy my daughter has come back to time and time again. It’s lasted her two years so far, and it’s still going strong!
