Dry Erase Workbooks
For the child who loves to learn! I know my daughter would be thrilled to get one of these, she loves the books we have right now that make it easy to practice writing her letters and numbers independently.

VTech Learning App Touch Screen Tablet (InnoTab 2)
If your budget can afford about $60-70 then the VTech InnoTab 2 would be my recommendation for the tech-loving preschooler. This awesome tablet comes with a few downloadable apps so you dont even have to buy games for it right away, and there is plenty to do on it! Its a camera, photo viewer, MP3 player, eReader, art studio, and game console all in one!

Preschool Games
For the child who loves social games. 🙂 Here are some of the ones we enjoy the most:
Memory Matching Game
I Spy Card Game (Go Fish)
DK Very Silly Sentences
Lets Go Fishin
ThinkFun Snack Attack
Pattern Blocks
This is one of Emmas favorite sets to play with, both with the pattern sheets and without. She has created so many imaginative scenes with them, I love it! There are plenty of sets out there, but theMelissa and Doug Magnetic Pattern Block Kit is our favorite.

Twilight Constellation Night Light
This is usually a gift that is associated with babies but my daughter absolutely loves having stars on her ceiling at night, and its the coolest nightlight Ive come across so far. 🙂 Honestly, Im thinking about getting one for MY room.

Games for Their Favorite Game System
Im featuring MarioKart for the Wii because thats Emmas favorite game right now, and 4-6 is the perfect age to be playing this! She also has it on Nintendo DS and likes to play it that way, too. I just think the Wii is more fun because the controller is actually a steering wheel. 🙂
