My cousin's little girl is turning 4 this weekend and she is apparently really into arts and crafts. Her mom said markers, stickers, play-doh, etc. Any ideas on toys/ activities your kids are really into?? There is so much out there to choose from.
::butting in:: I remember when my oldest niece was 4 she absolutely LOVED stickers - any kind of stickers, but animal ones and sparkly ones were the best. I found a Halloween Wonder Pets sticker book the other day, but T doesn't want to put them in the book, she wants to wear them, hee.
Also, it sounds totally random but we bought her a pack of sparkly pipe cleaners a few weeks ago when it was raining and she seriously played with them for HOURS! Best two bucks I ever spent!
They have lots of "kits" at Hobby Lobby. I'd get something there. The foam stickers are great. Glitter paint pens (made by crayola) are great. They have them at Hobby Lobby too (in the back of the store)

We got this for our niece for her 4th b-day:

It was inexpensive, and she LOVES it.
