Hama Beads

While the Euro might be worth more then the American Dollar, that is okay, we harbor no ill will to the Europeans and we love their toys. Europe is know for the high quality, excellent craftsmanship, and innovation of their toys. Europe has centuries of history and some of their toys reflect that.

First and foremost you can’t go wrong with dolls, girls love playing with dolls. There seems to be millions of dolls on the market place so choosing a doll can become difficult because there are so many choices. If you are looking for alternatives to the traditional dolls besides Barbie how about Soft Doll Nele, Doll Paola, Doll Phil, Doll Souri, Doll Lukas, Doll Lilli, from Haba. These dolls would be sure to please any little girl. L’oiseau Bateau offers a unique type of soft doll handmade from France.

If your little girl is into animals how about stuffed animals from Kaloo. They come in a different variety of rabbits, bears, and cats, and are very well made. How about Moulin Roty Mini Friends plush animals and Anne-Clarie Petit Pocket Bunnies from Basic French. Deglingos is another type of soft stuffed animals that are aos very unique and will get your little girls attention. What girl wouldn’t love these stuffed animals? If she would enjoy colorful puppets how about a colorful and vibrant one from Doudou et Compagnie.

Girls love jewelry at any age, guys can attest to that. If your little girl loves jewelry and needs some place to keep them the Jewelry House Sunlight from Haba would be the perfect place.

There are many types of jigsaw puzzles for girls as well such as The Fairy and the Unicorn, Ballerina With The Flower, The 3 Little Pigs, Queen of Hearts, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and more from Djeco.

If your little princess is interested in art how about introducing her to Princesses Stencils, Mosaic Flowers Art Kit, or Swan Lake Stencils. Hama beads would also make for great art projects for little girls. They come in a variety of design so whatever your little girl is attracted to they will have it. Since the beads are small they should be used by older children, preferably 5 years or older. These will enhance the creativity in young girls but are not limited to just girls.
