Hobbies And Interests
Stickers and Portfolio
Help a girl begin a sticker collection by presenting her with an album and assortment of stickers to place in the album. A variety of themed sticker kits are available at craft stores, gift shops and online, or choose an album and purchase a number of packs of stickers that speak to the girl's specific interests.
Craft and Science Kits
Help a girl release her creativity with a craft kit. Kits can be found for beginning knitting, purse decorating, scrapbooks, button making, fashion design, manicures, jewelery making and more. For the girl who likes to mix science and pampering, spa kits with make-your-own make-up and bubble baths or kitchen science kits which result in baked goods are a good option.
Digital Camera
Girls in the 8- to 10-year age group may want to capture life as it happens around them. Digital cameras for kids come with a moderate price tag and style that a young girl would like. They can be colorful, with vibrant patterns and offer simple features for ease of use. Disney, Nickelodeon, VTech, Polaroid and Fisher Price all offer cameras with kids in mind.
Technological Toys
MP3s for storing and listening to music, girl-focused laptops like the Moxie Girlz or Barbie laptops, hand-held game systems, such as the Nintendo DS, and games, electronic diaries and Webkinz plush animals with codes for online play are all hot technological toys that work from any budget, ranging in price from less than $20 to more than $100 dollars.
