Which Christmas gift sounds like a better idea for my 3 year old daughter?
So it's the shopping season and I need some advice as to which would be the best idea for my 3 year old little girl. Considering our living arrangements (living with my parents) at the moment and the amount of toys this girl already has, I wanted to do something more constructive for her as a gift and just get her a few little things and some stocking stuffers to open Christmas day. She is a very energetic girl and loves playing with drums, keyboards, etc. and also loves to dance and jump and be active. I was thinking of either getting her an instrument along with lessons but I don't know if this is age appropriate or trying out something like karate, ballet, or gymnastics but I want something that might transcend with her as she gets older but I don't know which one would be best to start her out with now. Any advice would be appreciated or personal experience with one's own children, etc so that I get her involved in something that she might like now and perhaps later on. Thx:)
Answer:
Good for you for giving something that is going to benefit her way more than any toy!!
Either choice is great, but I would go with the music/music lessons. Music is a wonderful experience for kids at any age, and studies have shown that children who are involved in music often do better in school, especially in the areas of math and science.
Some music stores will offer lessons and will gear them to the age of the child. Or you can look into Kindermusik which start their programs at 18 months.
Both of my kids are involved in music and have been since they were 2. They love it, and it's a joyful experience.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!!

Getting the right gifts for girls
There are lots of gifts for girls to choose from, no matter what the occasion is. In giving a gift, you need to consider the age of the celebrator as well as her hobbies and interests because as girls get older, they tend to like different things. But some of the most wonderful gifts for girls include the following:
- Dolls – Whether it’s Barbie, Karikito Kids, Corolle, Bratz or Sasha dolls, you can be sure that most girls love to play with dolls. Dolls are a young girl’s best friends. They talk to them and sleep beside them. They can bring them wherever they go. Baby dolls tend to bring about a girl’s nurturing spirit, whereas older-looking dolls tend to give girls a certain model that they can take good care of or look up to.
- Dollhouse – If the little girl you’re giving a gift to happens to have a lot of dolls already, try giving her a dollhouse. A dollhouse may help develop her spatial and organizing skills. It usually comes with other small toys to fill it up just like chairs, tables, a TV set and even a tub. Imagine how fun and exciting it is for a child to design it, and later play with it with her dolls inside!
- Role Play Set – Girls love to dress up and play where they could play “pretend.” Among the most popular role play sets is a play doctor set which comes with a stethoscope, thermometer, medicine bottles, reflex hammer, syringe, blood pressure gauge and many others. The set usually includes a carrying case. There’s also a dentist role play set and a cashier role play set. There are so many possibilities with this kind of toy, and the more the accessories are, the more exciting it gets.
- Storybooks – Story books that are actually also coloring books are a favorite among girls. This helps them appreciate art more and encourages them to experiment with colors. There are so many storybooks and coloring books available for children so you can choose a personal favorite which you wish to share to the child.
- Musical instruments – Giving a child toy musical instruments will stimulate their interest in music. Who knows, she might eventually get a real musical instrument soon! The most common ones include electric toy pianos, guitars and drums. It is easy to find these things in any gift shop; you might not even need any assistance from the sales staff. A toy piano is usually more exciting because children love to push buttons in general, but remember that it’s likely for something like this to need batteries so make sure you also get a couple and include them in your gift.
