Dora, Barbies, webkinz, are all hot.

To be honest I was sooo nervous before I first met our girls I went to the toy store because I wanted to have something small for them ( they were 4 & 7 at the time) There was a mom and young girl in the toy isle. I stepped way out of my comfort zone and asked the woman if she and her daughter could recommend something for a 4 yr old, they were awesome (and my, now daughter, LOVED it)

Another suggestion I have heard is plush - it gives them something to 'hug' when they are nervous meeting new people and dealing with new situations.
