What to get a 6 year old?

My niece is 6 years old and going in for heart surgery (she does <b>not</b> have CF), and we want to get her some fun gifts while she's recovering. I'm figuring since she'll be in ICU for a few days we might just wait to have the gifts sent to her house once she's back. She'll have about a 2 week recovery time at home.

What would be some good suggestions for us to get her? The gift will be mailed so it can't be too heavy. Any ideas? I was thinking of getting her a bunch of little things that will make her happy and help pass the time.

I figure there are so many parents on here with similar age girls, you might be able to help me, b/c I don't really have a clue. I do know she loves princesses.

Thanks!!!!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Webkinz are awesome, if she has a computer (stuffed animal, with a code that you use on-line to dress them, make their room up, play games, etc. Kid friendly/parent controllable). My girls love stickers, markers, activity books - and you can definitely find those in princess themes. Polly Pockets are small, have neat accessories, and have lots of play value (think very tiny Barbies). There is a set that comes with little sparkly animals now - very popular! Littlest Pet Shop - anything they make is fun. There are also magnet dress up sets, think paper dolls but magnetized. "Melissa and Doug" makes a set, I think. Have fun shopping! I hope your neice recovers nicely - I will say a prayer for her.

I have a little boy, but he LOVES drawing -- maybe some sort of drawing kit, pad, bright markers or crayons... I think I saw some crayola ones at Target with princesses...

Maybe one of those big activity books? That has the coloring pages, the mazes, dot to dots, hidden picture game, etc. and a nice big box or crayons and/or markers? Oh, and a bag/organizer of some sort to keep it all in, so she can drag it to her doctor's appts. afterwards <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> .

Oh! I also found a book the other day that has the plastic stickers that are reusable- vinyl maybe?- that has a town fold out page where you can decorate your town (people, pets, cars, etc.) and has a short story that you can put the stickers in the sentences- it was pretty neat.

I will be praying that she comes through her surgery well. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
