Puppet theatre?

Also bit different fropm the areas you mention but we started dd3 on playmobil last year for her 5th birthday and it's been a huge hit. Great for imaginative dc.

Not acting, singing, dancing but Hama beads are great. My very nearly 5yo loves getting creative with them and they keep him occupied for ages.

Lego also good - DS builds it and then does creative play for hours with it a but like Playmobil.

Another vote for Hama beads! I've also been known to play with them when the kids r in bed Wink

I think we are going to get our DD a bike. I am hoping to persuade OH to let her get a girly swirly (but preferably not Disney princess!) one if she wants it.

as for the Hama beads - they are also sold in IKEA as Pyssla.
My DD finds them a bit fiddly but she has taken them out several times recently to play with. It's a bit annoying having to iron them but a nice quiet activity.

Hama beads sound good, and I must say that the school role-play could be spot on.

We were also contemplating a small trampoline for the garden (been saving up for a while!) - does anyone have one?

I.E does anyone recommend for 5y old, as opposed to 'do you have one I can have?' ......lol
