The preschooler's love of pretending is reflected in the stories and television programs she enjoys, the way she plays, the way she dresses, and the art she creates. Give props for playing "all grown up," or gifts that stir the imagination. |

gift ideas (excerpted from Present Perfect) A trunk full of dress-up clothes, shoes, gloves, purses, and jewelry will inspire hours of "let's pretend." Hats and other headgear also make fun gifts. Choose from engineer hats, fire fighter hats, baseball caps, football helmets, cowboy hats, sailor hats, tiaras, berets, derbies, and crowns to start. ADA Discount Dancewear carries a wide assortment of hats and accessories. Phone: 800/882-9882. Internet: www.adadance.com. In your own voice, make an audio tape recording of a child's favorite book(s). Be sure to let the child know when to turn the pages. Give blocks, blocks, and more blocks: wooden blocks, plastic blocks, giant cardboard blocks, magnetic blocks. To accessorize the block structures for creative play, include small animals (farm, zoo, and wild), cars, trucks, dinosaurs, and people. Remember the Slinky, the Etch-A-Sketch, Lincoln Logs, Erector sets and Tinkertoys? These classic toys, along with other favorites from yesteryear, can still be found at many toy stores and department stores. A rhythm band set, a chalkboard and chalks, a tricycle, a dollhouse and furnishings, a painting easel with paints and paper, a train set (nonelectric), and storybook tapes are also great gifts for three- and four-year-olds.
