Nothing says Christmas more than a child eagerly unwrapping a Christmas gift with the biggest smile on her face. If you are looking for a great Christmas gift for a child ranging in age from three to four years, rest assured that Christmas 2009 has a lot to offer. It really does not take much to find a great gift that will unwrap a great smile and the warmest ''thank you''.

Perhaps the most important factor to keep into consideration is ensuring that the gift is age appropriate. Fortunately, most toys are required to report the suitable age on their box. This should be the first thing to glance over even before checking the price tag. Another thing to consider is that the toy is not a duplicate or close to something the child already has. Nothing is more aggravating than receiving a toy that a child already has played with! Following are some great gift suggestions for the hottest Christmas 2009 toys.
