5 year old female

Does anyone have any good suggestions of birthday gift ideas for a girl who will be turning 5? That girl happens to be my oldest daughter, and for some reason, we are at a loss of what to do for her. Her birthday is April 25th. She enjoys: make believing (playing coffee stand, going to grocery store, playing mom and baby, etc,) drawing, playing outside, reading. She is not much into: TV/movie watching. Thanks for your help!

She sounds a lot like Aubrey. Some thing Aubrey has gotten in recent memory that she has enjoyed are an art easel with 8x10 canvases and nice paint, the American girl baby doll, a Hello Kitty boom box followed up by me burning her several of her own cds, a bin of art supplies (pads of paper, new markers and crayons, stencils, sidewalk chalk, cheap oil pastels, felt, etc.), a new two wheeled scooter, and old fashioned paper dolls. Five is a fun age!

Thanks Sara! All very good ideas! And you're right, this IS a fun age!

Carrie, just FYI, I am getting her a hexbug nano starter set (because she LOVED Bridget's bug at our house). (I'm also doing this for Damian) I was going to say you could buy a habitat for it, but since she probably won't get our gift till later that might not work.

That's awesome! And just so you know, Sam also LOVES Bridget's bug! :)

He and Jenna might have to fight over it:) (Actually, she's getting TWO bugs because I figured that way she wouldn't have to share with Jocelyn.)
