15 Non-Toy Gift Ideas for a 4 Year Old

My baby turned 4 last week and I wanted her to get items she could use during the summer and not just toys because we have so many already.  So I went to my Facebook friends for ideas and got a great response!! Several of the ideas were items my daughter received and others will be ideas for other holidays and future gifts!!

Rather than keeping the information to myself, I decided to post about it here on my blog for other parents of toddlers to use as a reference.  Plus I'll be able to come back here when Caroline is invited to a party and get ideas for gifts for her friends.  Although as I was cleaning out the gift closet in my basement last week, I realized I already purchased several items for other kids.

I 'd rather find good deals throughout the year and grab gifts rather than scrambling to shop for gifts at the last minute.  The I pull out 3-4 choices for the girls to "shop from the closet." This limits stress of shopping at the last minute and allows our family to save money  and reduce the go, go, go that we are typically in during the summer.

So if you are looking for a gift for a 4 year old for your daugther, sister, grandchild or just a friend...here are some great ideas!!

Birds of Paradise - Chicken Recipe

Growing up, we ate a lot chicken. Chicken and rice. Chicken and salsa. Chicken casserole. I wasn't sure why we ate so much chicken. I thought it was just because my mom was on a Weight Watchers diet.  She would put the chicken in the oven and then go on a walk.  I always wanted to tag along on my bike. Now I understand. Chicken is quick and easy. Chicken is inexpensive. Chicken can be healthy. Now as a mom I also understand, my mom wanted to on on those walks alone...to have some peace and quiet time!
