It is only November and people are already talking about Christmas - presents, pictures (of babies) for Christmas cards.... Actually, maybe that's better because I always wait until the last moment and then - panic! So let's start soon this year... And on that note, here are some ideas for a 4 year old... She pretty much has all the toys I can think of, except a teepee and an easel. A teepee is a little out of my price range, and I actually wanted to make it myself, but there is not time for that right now. So I am currently looking for an easel. What I have in mind is a wooden easel with a blackboard. Ideally I would like it to be unfinished wood so I can paint it pink - she loooooves pink. So here are some possibilities:

Fantasy Toyland tabletop and regular easels
Children's Artist Easel
Adjustable Child Art Easel
Easel and Chalkboard
IKEA Easel
