I'm not sure how these will go over, but we wanted something she could do alone, rather than requiring a parent to pose an arithmetic question and pull her through the solution. She Really likes having collections of little objects like the beads and probably the addition strips, so I think they'll get a lot of play time even if she doesn't do much math with them.
She's not really into math right now, but we figure it's likely that she'll get excited about it sometime in the next year (apparently I went nuts for arithmetic around 3.5), and we wanted to have something around encouraging that, as opposed to our current fairly math-free environment.
I personally wanted a binomial cube http://www.kidadvance.com/product.php?pid=121 but it was just going to be another puzzle for D, and she's over her puzzle mania for now.
(And of course, she also got the Kaden marble run -- we just opened it a month early -- so she also got a big present along with the smaller ones we've picked out, and goodness knows what her grandparents will come up with.)
