[blparent] Christmas gift ideas for a 9-year-old girl

[Pickrell, Rebecca M.]

Why not get her museum passes? 
Or see if there is a stable or even a vet's office that would let her do
kennel duty. I guarantee you, she will learn a lot. 

If there is a noncommercial airport nearby, see if they have a Young
Eagles program, she'll learn a lot there. 
Also, see if there are model rocketry competitions she could get
involved with. 
And then you always have music, see if there is a community band she
could join. 
Education and learning can be found in all things.

Oops, I forgot another thing, the movie Highschool Musical things seem
to also be the rage for girls this age.  Especially the doll Gabriella.
she comes with a little microphone that when you put it ot her mouth,
she sings. 
If you put the mike to your mouth all you hear is music.  Of course, i
don't know how much she costs.  Hanna Montana parafinalia is also good.
Educational gifts would be hard to get unless you know that she has a
computer, what version it is if she has a Leap frog or Nintendo D s.
Hey, I just thought of something else that we want, Scrabble or Boggle.
They are educational and fun.
