  2 0 Someone suggested this for me, and I'm passing it on: A marble run - my 4 year old can't get enough, and I think it will help with building concentration (and I think they have one at Costco right now). Also: Lincoln logs and tinker toys. If s/he loves dressing up, get him/her some dress up clothes, and ignore gender stuff - my son loves tiaras and fairy wings as well as capes (velcro neck closures only - my friend found her 3 year old hanging from a tie one luckily shortly after leaving him), varying hats, nerf swords, masks, etc. Also, my son is a HUGE hit at the park when he brings his stomprocket - I think we got ours at Top 10 toys. http://www.stomprocket.com/ Penny Lane answered in Gift Ideas for Kids about 1 year ago | Report 4 comments by Aislinn, tofu oyako, and Penny Lane… 0 0 My little brother had an awesome marble run set, and I LOVED it. Definitely gender-neutral, and super fun. Aislinn commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I STILL love marble runs. tofu oyako commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 It was squirrel girl's idea. Penny Lane commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 My three-year-old has a marble run, and she LOVES it. A word of advice: buy an open-ended system. We had a plastic one where the pieces all fit together and it stacked up rather than out, and she was bored with it after a weekend of play. We traded up to the HABA Kugelbahn system, which is expensive ($80 for the starter kit, and about $40 for expansions) but it's much cooler, more durable, open-ended, and it has really cool add-ons.

  1 0 gender neutral=Legos make-believe=Legos building/disassembling=Legos dressing up=dolls or legos (hats n hair) minute attention span = TV ________ (so the tally is 3.5 votes for legos, 1 for TV and a half for dolls). For that ratio, the Lego-brand video games might work nicely in a few years (lego star wars, lego harry potter)... in the meantime, Regular or Duplo lego brick sets, in various 'themes', should be a good fit.

Go for the big ones if you do. I was told if its small enough to fit threw a toliet paper roll it could pose as a choking hazard.

  0 0 It's hard for any store toy to be unique although many toy stores have something only they carry. You can get playful dress up clothes year round at Display & Costume, Champions and Top Ten Toys. Seasonal craft fairs can have more unique had made toys. My 4 year old likes puzzles and Plan City stuff.

  0 1 Homemade blocks. Then you can always build on top of that present each year with different lengths sizes shapes. My grandpa made my 2yr old son this. This year is circles. All you need is a cabinet grade 4x6 plywOod,dowl rods(largest size available) and sandpaper. Just cut them to different sizes and shapes and sandthe edges reall good. No need to color or seal them makes them neutral for anybody to play with. If you don't have the tools to cut the wood. I'm sure any nice neighbor would love to do it if you bring them some christmas goodies.
