I've experienced that things the kids play with when they are 3 are still a lot of the same things they will play with when they are 5, 6 and 7.... like another poster said... they just play with them differently.
In my house, boys and girls alike, like the same things... the boys love playing house with dolls and just the same the girls like playing with cars and trucks.
Winners in my house...
Play kitchen, food and dolls
Cars and car rugs
blocks and building toys (legos, duplos, waffle blocks, tinker toys, lincoln logs, magneatos, wooden blocks... anything they can build with)
Anything Little People
Loving Family doll house & accessories with some other characters tossed in like scooby doo, toy story
Puzzles, games
Art stuff....
Dry erase boards, books and markers
Play Doh
Something we really enjoy doing is making obstacle courses... use things already have in the house... chairs for climbing over under, pillows to roll through or jump in.... string to tippy toe on... blankets to crawl under... etc...
Outside... sand and chalk are biggies
