Contemplating...

I collect pins for my 3 kids and my niece and although they have their favorite characters and themes sometimes they just like random stuff too. One of my boys loves the Orange Bird even though he has no idea who he is, lol. I love to look at Pin Pics with my kids and let them add stuff to our wants. Maybe you could let your niece make her own little wants list.

That is an awesome idea!!! Next time she stays over, that will be our little project! Thank you!

how great you are doing this! hmmm...having a 4 year old that is in to pin trading i think i might have to go with the little of this and that with Minnie definitely being part of it. each time we go to the park, she checks out lanyards for princesses. she has had several "favorite" princessess, as i do believe little girls go through stages of who their "favorite" is. currently it is Cinderella with her, but 2 trips ago she was wanting to find Aurora pins not saying she'll pass up any princess pin at all, just has her current favorites. with this said, she really does like Minnie Mouse pins. if there is a Minnie pin on a lanyard, she will go for that! i say this, as i wouldn't have been able to definitely predict when we first collected who she would want to collect, if it would be what she continued to want and if the next month we'd back to the first one. we've just let her collection evolve to what she enjoys at the time. i don't remember if you said her age, but if she can understand on-line trading, i'd be happy to do so with her
this is just my $0.02 having fun is the most important.

Thank you very much! I definitely think I am going to mix it up for her. I know what you're saying, kids change their minds in seconds, lol! I remember still, just when my mom would get me what I "wanted", I didn't like it anymore! Ha ha! She is two, just turned April 6th! She is old enough to like pins now, and handle them supervised, but not quite old enough to understand trading yet. I thank you tho very much! I want to get her a collection together since she does like them, that way when she DOES understand it all, she will be ready to go! Lol! Plus she loves my pins and the two I have for her (a Mickey hat with Donald on it and a lady bug vinylmation pin). I was going to have her look at pins online tonight, but I was in an accident this morning, so will not be seeing her.
