I work as a ski instructor primarily with 3 to 6 year olds. The season is starting up again and it's time to start learning what the kids like. Last year it was Dora the Explorer and Disney classics. Still applicable? I don't have kids, so sometimes it's hard to figure out what they like.

Those are both good. You may want some Diego stuff for boys. My nephew doesn't like Dora stuff because since Dora is a girl all Dora stuff is therefore girl stuff. Stickers would be good. You can stick them on their ski jackets.

My little cousin (female) is obsessed with Dora the explorer, Animal planet, and generally anything to do with animals.

Mine is 4 and a boy. This Christmas, it is all about action figures from his favorite super heroes and TV shows. Other posters have already mentioned examples. I also plan to get him some toy weapons to play with (OH NOES! NOT VIOLENCE! ;)). He is also big on video games from all consoles and PC as long as they don't require a lot of reading to figure out how to play.

My 4 yrs old boy likes Spiderman and Donald Duck. He dumped Thomas and Diego.
The 6 yrs old girl is into anything princess and those characters from the Backyardigans. She just dumped Dora.
