Perhaps get her some toys for the outdoors? My son loves his baseball bat and ball and his golf set. I bet she will get into coloring more as she gets a bit older too, so you could get her some supplies for that. As well as some books and other things in that category...

that what i thought, could get some paints etc, but maybe for her i would be best saving some money and waiting to see what shes into at the time....It changes what she like to play with all the time haha

iv just bought my 2.5yr old some 'my first Hama beads' and he loves them!
I was concerned that he wouldn't be able to enjoy them but actually he's been great. he obviously doesnt make a 'picture' like an older child would produce, but he makes shapes in colours that he's chosen and it's been great fun.
if nothing else he's learning colours and patterns! highly recommend them

amazon do little starter kits for less than £5 that you could try out perhaps before buying bigger sets? HTH

My DH thinks of Factor as xmas countdown too. It never really occurred to me until now that it finishes so close to xmas to associate them together.
