Consider the types of toys and games your child likes. Does he or she enjoy puzzles and board games? Items such as a Madeline peg puzzle or a Madeline game will keep your child entertained for hours and start at about $10 each.
Use Madeline computer software and games as fun, educational tools. Try Madeline: Thinking Games; Madeline: 1st and 2nd Grade; and Madeline's European Adventures. These items range in price from $10 to $30.
Let your child share mealtimes with Madeline and her companions! A Madeline Dinnerware Set and Action Flatware Set will cost $30 and $10, respectively. How about a Madeline Soft-Sided Lunch Kit ($20) to take to school?
Read the popular Madeline series of books along with your child! Start with the original "Madeline" by Ludwig Bemelmans and share other Madeline adventures through "Madeline and the Bad Hat," "Madeline's Christmas," "Madeline's Rescue" and "Madeline and the Gypsies." Books start at $5.
Bring the "old house in Paris that was covered with vines" into your house! A brightly colored Madeline Music Box ($9) looks just like Madeline's boarding school.
Let your child keep treasures in the Madeline Jewelry Box ($18). A Madeline figure pops up and twirls to Madeline's theme song when the box is opened.
Look for Madeline videos to enchant and delight your little Madeline fan. Videos start at $10 and include titles such as "Madeline in Hollywood" and "Madeline's Rescue." The 1999 "Madeline" movie ($20) is now also available on video!
Give your child a place to put all those Madeline dolls and accessories! Madeline doll cases are available for the 8-inch and 15-inch Madelines ($20 to $30). How about a place to store those larger Madeline items and your child's books and papers? A Madeline backpack ($30) is also a great way to present your gifts!
Look for the "Madeline's Favorite Songs" CD or audiotape. This collection of songs includes Madeline's theme song, "I'm Madeline!"
