So if you have a young girl,  you are probable familiar with the phenomenon that is Lalaloopsy they are cute and my daughter just loves them. If you are buying for a little girl this year perhaps you are not familiar with the brand, so let me tell you a little more about Lalaloopsy from the website:


 Who, What are Lalaloopsy?

The Lalaloopsy were once rag dolls who magically came to life when their very last stitch was sewn. They each have different personalities that come from the fabrics that were used to make them. Lalaloopsy live in a whimsical world of silly surprises.

Aren't they just adorable?


My daughter was very fortunate to be able to check out this Mini Lalaloopsy Silly Fun House Playset

• Magical Lalaloopsy Silly Fun House Playset
• Five Play Areas Rollercoaster track with removable car
• Includes exclusive doll and pet
• 5 fun house accessories
• Works in both directions Zip line with pet balloon, 2 Spinning swings, Twisty slide, Snack shack, Pop Popcorn 

 Mini Lalaloopsy dolls have an exciting new setting with the Mini Lalaloopsy Silly Fun House Playset. The colorful set includes a rollercoaster, a zip line, spinning swings, a slide, and more. Kids ages four years and up will enjoy exploring the fun house and playing with the exclusive Misty Mysterious Mini Lalaloopsy figure and her pet rabbit, which are included with the set.

Who doesn't love a fun house it is a wild a wacky place that is always fun to visit. They are my favorite rides when we go to carnivals and fairs. And my daughter is taking after me with her love of fun houses. And what could be better than a fun house toy? Well a Lalaloopsy fun house toy that is!

This great playset comes with  Misty Mysterious, she is a Mini Lalaloopsy who loves magic, and has a little rabbit in her hat.

 Take a ride on the spinning swings, wheeee what fun!

 Or is your mini Lalaloopsy more of a dare devil? How about taking a ride on the mini mouse coaster?

 Hungry from the day of fun? Well just stop by this sweet shack for a yummy pretzel treat or some popcorn perhaps?

You can't leave the fun house without taking a slide on the zany twisty slide, isn't the slide the best part. Go whizzing down the twisty slide with your mini Lalaloopsy, and don't forget her cute little pet can take a ride in the balloon too.

I think this is going to be one of the hottest toys this holiday season, there are so so many fun things to do with this set. I love that you get a mini Lalaloopsy included. When I was a child and I got gift sets with no characters inside, I would be so disappointed. But there will be no disappointment with this great set, you get a fun toy that will entertain kids for hours and you get a little character to start with the fun. Now my daughter has added a few little items on her holiday list this year. Some more mini Lalaloopsy friends to join Misty at the fun house.

Raggedy Ann by Aurora – Review and a giveaway

Are you looking for a great play pal that will bring back some great memories. Did you know that Aurora has a new Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy line? Yes they are back! Here is a little more information  about the new line from the website:

Aurora  New  Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy line. The original doll with a heart is back! Aurora released a variety of classic Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy rag dolls in 2012 Aurora is thrilled to work with Hasbro to bring a new generation of children into the fold of this classic and beloved brand with a new line of plush dolls striking just the right balance of vintage and modern elements. Aurora is very excited to showcase these handmade pieces that feature exquisite detail including fine facial features and yarn hair with the classic loop style. These are heirloom treasures that can be passed on for generations. The 8", 12" 16" and 25" classic Raggedy Ann or Raggedy Andy rag dolls are: $10, $15, $25 and $35 respectively. The Fancy Pals style -- Raggedy Ann Butterfly or Red Ribbon -- are 7" and $17 each. All Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy items are great for ages 18 months and up.

My Review:

A classic is making a comeback, do you remember Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy rag dolls? Well I sure do I grew up with Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. I had miniature rag dolls that I just loved. I remember seeing my mother’s Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls, they were so much bigger than my tiny dolls. I would pretend that my dolls were the kids of my mom’s dolls. I loved my little dolls, and unfortunately with moving they were lost somewhere in the transition to a new house when I was little.

 

SO with all of the computer games, and electronic toys my daughter has would she really be receptive to a rag doll? I know I loved mine, but that was so very many years ago. I was curious to find out. I told her that mommy had a doll like this when she grew up, would she like to play with Raggedy Ann? I was very surprised, she fell in love with this doll! And she has been carrying it around with her at all times since it arrived. This doll brings back so many great memories for me, and I love that I am able to share a doll that I loved as a child with my child, it is a great thing.

If you are looking for a great gift idea, I would recommend Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, these classics are still as great today as you remember them, and now there are so many sizes and styles, they even have Fancy Pals Raggedy Ann doll that comes with a cute matching bag, they all would make great gifts.
