Little Girls Tell All: What I Want for Christmas
As the holiday shopping season approaches, parents and grandparents begin the quest for that perfect gift or gifts. The gift that brings a light to their daughter's eyes, a smile to their lips and a great big hug that tells you your gift is - as my daughter says, "Perfect!"
To find out what it is that preschool girls want, I went straight to the source, preschool girls! Armed with my Wal-Mart, Target and ToysRUs shopping flyers these little preschool aged princesses speak out on what they really want for Christmas.
All I Want for Christmas is . . . Doll Houses:
Doll houses seem to be tried and true throughout time as a perfect gift for little girls. There is a wide range of dollhouses available, but our play date friends prefer:
Fisher Price Loving Family Grand Dollhouse: Best priced at Wal-Mart
This dollhouse comes with eight rooms, a staircase, a beginner house and family set complete with mom, dad and two babies and we were able to purchase it with the bonus patio pack that includes a grill, swing, and slide and patio furniture for the family.
The Fisher Price Dora Dollhouse (approximate cost $79.00), based on the popular Nickelodeon characters.
The Imaginarium 3 story Barbie Doll house w/ elevator: Toys R Us Price $129.00. The unique thing about this house is it's so tall; your children can stand and play as well as sit.
All I Want for Christmas is . . . Baby Dolls:
Is there a little girl alive from the ages of 3-5 who does not have a baby doll of some sort on her list to Santa? Our girls tell all with their baby doll list which includes:
Baby Alive Learns to Potty (approximate price $48.00); complete with potty chair, dress and 2 diapers
Baby Alive Go Bye Bye Doll: (Target Best Priced with an approximate price $24.00): complete with dressed doll and "carrier"
Chou Chou Bye Bye Baby: (Target Best Priced with coupon for $24.99) this four in one baby doll comes with carrier that folds to create a purse or seat for baby. The baby doll is interactive and says "bye bye" phrases when you wave her hand and makes kissing bye bye sounds.
I think there is a pattern here. These girls want their babies to act like real babies and they want to be able to take them with them wherever they go.
All I Want for Christmas is . . to get moving
Don't get me wrong, our girls are not only interested in their dollies and dollhouses, but really want to move and groove. Their Christmas list for Santa includes:
Radio Flyer 1st Scooter for Girls: Approximate price $40.00 pretty in pink, and folds for easy storage. And we old people remember the radio flyer scooter from the long ago Christmas movie classic A Christmas Story.
Fisher Price Power Wheels Barbie Princess Little Quad: Approximate price $50.00 a battery powered ride on toy that let's your little princess go four-wheeling just like the big kids.
Also on their moving Christmas wish list is an assortment of bicycles such as the: Girl's Dora the Explorer Bike 12" by Huffy; the Girls 16" Barbie Bike, and Girls Huffy 12" or 16" Princess Bike, depending on the age and size of the little girls.
Note to parents: be sure to pick up a helmet for your little girls safety, knee pads and elbow pads are also a must for just learning how to ride little girls.
All I Want for Christmas is . . . a Computer
The little girls in our group love to imitate mom and dad. Let's face it mom and dad spend time on the computer, so these girls want to too. Among their picks for their own laptop computers are:
ClickStart from LeapFrog: Approximate cost $45.00 plus $20.00 per game. This keyboard turns your TV into an interactive computer game for your child to play. With a variety of software programs to purchase with your child's favorite cartoon character from Princesses to Bob the Builder children can learn basic keyboarding skills as well as basic skills such as letters, numbers, counting, matching and others.
JumpStart Tag Along Laptop: Approximate cost: $34.99 comes with several different levels of games, plus the ability to customize and translate words from Spanish to English.
V-Tech Laptops come in a variety of designs to fit each one of the little girls in your life. The "Tote and Go" is attached mouse and easy to carry handle is the one we own. You can also get this in Pink. Other available designs include "Little Einstein's" with a piano keyboard; and the "Thomas and Friends." Prices vary depending on design from $20-25.00. Each comes with a great selection of learning games and activities to play.
All I Want for Christmas . . . .I have seen to many commercials:
Our little girls seem to be feeling the commercial influence this year, as they also choose the following gifts for their Christmas wish list:
My Meeba Interactive Pets: Approximate cost for each $14.99
The Rescue Pets Swim to Me Puppy: Swims in the tub or pool, and "walks" along with your child. Approximate cost $30.00.
Princesses: The Disney princesses are popular with this group of girls. Anything princess, it doesn't even have to be Disney, but it sure does help. From vanities to dress up and dolls, princesses really rate among our little princesses.
and
Barbie's: All that is Barbie, from dolls and dresses to houses and play sets.
It is true, commercials, peer pressure, and what the "Jones'" have can influence your children even as young as preschool. But with our little preschool girls to guide us, we can use their Christmas wish list and the best of our parenting skills to provide them the Christmas presents we know they will love. With this helpful buying guide - sponsored by the 50 some parents in our playgroup, you can start your Christmas shopping early, and get exactly what your little girls wants.
