ideas for toys for two siblings from the new baby UPDATE

i have two girls one is almost 5 and one is almost 3.....i need ideas for what to get them "from the new baby" when they meet her at the hospital for the first time.....i did it when my first dd met dd#2 in the hospital and it gave her something to play with while she visited and made her feel special since everyone was paying attention to the new baby.....i got her a baby to take care of so i dont want to do that again for either of the girls.....any other ideas?

thanks so much!!!!

ETA: So I decided and purchased some cool things that I wanted to offer as ideas for others that might be in the same spot i was in, not knowing what to get their dc's from the new baby..... I got each dd a canvas tote bag that says "world's greatest sister" and then filled the bags with:

Melissa & Doug sticker pads- one with dress up and one with household items for each of them (from amazon)

Melissa & Doug jumbo coloring book for each of them- the one with princesses and I also bought the Melissa and Doug matching princess crown shaped box with crayons inside for each of them (from amazon)

I bought Doc McStuffins figurine playset with all the characters for my older dd and Cinderella figurine playlet for my younger because she is obsessed with the movie lately (from amazon)

and then i found these adorable write and erase-look and find books (with dry erase markers)....i found princesses, elmo and thomas the train from lillian vernon but i couldnt seem to find any other choices anywhere else for some reason.....so i got a princess one each dd and then an elmo one for my younger and thomas the train for my older

so far it looks like the bags will be filled but if I think/find any other cool ideas I'll update

hth someone

we are wondering the same thing. someone also suggested that my DD buy soemthing for the baby so while i'm in the hospital i think i'll have my DH bring her to the store and get the baby something.
