Present for 5 yo girl?

Can anyone suggest a gift for a 5 year old girl? DH's cousin's LO is having her birthday party this weekend & I have no idea what to get her. I know she wants a dog, but will not be getting one. She is very girly. Thanks.

We have a cousin in our family who just turned 6, but for the last couple of years, she has been really into crafts. I find little craft kits at Michael's or Hobby Lobby -- jewelry making, paper dolls, etc for her for Christmas/birthdays.

She would probably like the jewelry making kit, but would her mom hate me for that? I just picture a million little beads spilling all over the floot.

My almost five year old loves books, My Little Ponies, anything princess, legos, pretty dresses, puzzles with 100 pieces (not the tiny ones though), board games.

Ooh yes, craft kits.  Melissa and Doug make a ton which do not have a million little pieces.

For books, Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy are big favorites for girly girls.

I have found some smaller kits that don't have a ton of beads -- and like wife said, the Melissa and Doug kits are really good, too!

What about a purse you can color? Would that be something your 5yo might like, or does it seem silly?

Sorry it isn't clicky.

Yup!  She would love that!
