Polly Pocket Pollywheels Race to the Mall

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Playsets
from: Mattel

June 01, 2007
This was at the very top of my daughter's Christmas list last year. It was a great concept- about time there was a race track designed with girls in mind. On Christmas Eve it took my husband who has a master's degree and my brother-in-law who is an aeronautical engineer an hour and a half to put the thing together. Not because they couldn't understand the directions, but because the quality of the plastic was so flimsy. The pieces wouldn't snap together firmly or stay together, and there was one piece that wouldn't snap with anything. I was pretty disappointed that we were having to use packing tape on something that was brand new right out of the box. The kids did think it was a fun toy, but they never played with the little tiny pieces ... Read More:

Disney Horse & Cinderella Giftset

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Playsets
from: Mattel

April 12, 2007
(I posted this review for the Jamine doll as well.)

I was a little worried when I ordered these items for the nieces for Christmas (yes it was that long ago). However, when the package came I knew they would love it and they did. And so did every other family member that night. They are really beautiful dolls. The doll and horse are full scale. I was expecting them to be smaller, given the price.
If the little girl in your life loves princesses, this series is the one to buy.

Disney Princess Enchanted Tales Deluxe Princess Castle

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Playsets
from: Mattel

July 31, 2007
For over $100 this toy is a JOKE. Yes, it is HUGE, and impressively so. Getting this on Christmas morning was like the greatest thing ever for my 3 year old daughter. Its a giant castle that is in the garish purples and loud pinks and yellows from the "Enchanted Tales" line of Princess products. For a girl that wants a big castle to play with her princesses in, it seems perfect. It's huge, has neat things like a working elevator and balcony, and several pieces of furniture including a lamp with shade, bed, sofa, table and chairs. Any of the standard size Disney Princess dolls seem to fit it (she has Gem Princess and Enchanted Tales dolls).

HOWEVER, it is flimsy. Parts starting breaking, first with the balcony and then legs ... Read More:

In this world of high technology where children are literally drowning in electronics, toys like these bring children back to basics. Our society is so busy with "other" activities. Parents are often forgetting the role of family values, manners, modeling and role playing. Toys like these are learning tools for life, encouraging social interaction and even problem solving. Children who are obsessed with the latest stimulation electronics can lack th social skills needed for everyday living. Purchase a dollhouse for your child, whether they are a male or female, today!!!! Still less than an iPod, Wii, PS3, Game Cube....these stim toys don't teach you how to develop emotionally as a human being. Go traditional toys and Real Life!
