Adorable Dora, from the popular Nick Jr. television show Dora the Explorer, will teach your child a bit of Spanish when you press her left shoelace. She stands about a foot tall and swivels around on her oversize sneakers while she talks about color, clothing, and pronounces other common words in English and Spanish. And every so often, when the buttonlike shoelace is pressed, she'll perform the "We Did It" song from the TV show, complete with dance moves and a bit of pop music in the background. Dora is dressed in bright pink and orange clothing that is not removable (the toy is made for kids ages 2 and older) and has a head of thick brown hair. Most of her body is hard plastic, except for her arms, which are soft fabric. We were impressed that she was so sturdy on her feet, even while dancing--you'll probably want to keep her on the floor, though, as she did move across the table we had her standing on. Dora runs on four AA batteries (not included). --M. Sullivan ... Read more

Boys love Dora too!
My 4 yo son absolutely loves Dora! He walks around the house calling Dora his "girlfriend". He recieved Singing Dora for his 4th bday from my mother. Needless to say Dh was not sharing our sons excitement about this toy but we agree even the manliest of men have played with dolls in their day lol.

This Dora toy is very cute. You press her shoelace and she sings and plays different games with you. She is educational in the sence she speaks spanish as well as english in the songs and games which teaches children spanish while they are having fun.

My daughter loves Dora!
My daughter received this Dancing Dora for Christmas. She is 2 years old and loves Dora. This was a hit. From all the toys she got on chirstmas this was her favorite. She still play with her Dora all the time. She dances and sings with the doll and have learned all the "spanish words" that Dora says. I really recommend this doll to any Dora the Explorer Fan.

my daughter LOVES this thing.....
I'm not sure exactly why, but my 2.5 year old daughter adores this thing.... it's not cuddly - it's hard plastic. And when it dances and sings it kinda acts like it's having convulsions. Nonetheless, my daughter absolutely loves it so I give it five stars!! Even my baby daughter gets on her knees and bounces when Dora sings "we did it!".

A great way to introduce a 2nd language
Our granddaughter loves this toy. Sometimes she gets bored quickly, but she usually comes back to silly Dora.

The greatest thing about this toy is that it teaches Spanish! What a wonderful idea. I've never seen the show but my Granddaughter loves it and it was a big hit at the birthday party.

Picking it up I'm afraid if I twist it, it will break, but I'm certainly not going to try. I would recommend this.

It's you and me, baby! Baby Darling is a soft, cuddly African American doll who still needs a little "boost" at mealtime. Luckily, she has a handy-dandy high chair that converts easily (with the subtraction of a set of legs) to a booster seat. Youngsters will love playing Mommy (and enlightened Daddy) with their little Darling. Standing just under two feet tall, the doll has bright brown eyes that close when she lies down, chubby plastic hands and feet, and a winning smile. She wears a flowery green get-up with floppy hat, but if things get too messy at the dinner table, she can always change into her fleecy pink suit. The Baby Darling gift set includes the doll, two outfits, convertible high chair, tray, bowl, utensils, bottle, and sippy cup. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

She is just too cute
When we got our baby stella my daughter just flipped. She is just so cute right down to the dimples on her back. Great detail, super soft fabric and the funnest part is the magnet in her mouth to make the binky stick to her face. My Daughter dresses and undresses her we just love her. I would buy her again and get her for a gift. ... Read more

Teresa is Terrific!!!
I love this set so much! I love all the outfits she comes with, you can make at least 4 different combinations. I also have enjoyed all the little extras - the magazine, lipstick, comb, and the boom box is cool! She has a boogie board and snorkle mask and fins which makes for lots of play possibilities! I think her woven mat and bag are quite fun too! She is one of my favorite dolls that Mattel has made! ... Read more

With seriously oversized skates, this girl's weight is all in her feet! This allows the hip roller diva to do some pretty impressive moves. Turn on the matching remote control and use the rocker switches to make her spin, skate backwards and forwards, dance, and "skate walk." Rachel can cruise around at high speeds without ever falling over, because she's solidly situated on hot-pink skates with sparkly wheels and toe stops that really work. She wears a cool jumper and has equally stylish elbow and knee pads.Her purple helmet doesn't come off, so she won't forget to wear it.She requires six "AA" batteries for her skates, and one 9 volt for the remote (not included). --Megan Sullivan ...

PersonalizedBirthday barbie Doll
This barbie is different from others becuse it is hispanic which is a change of pace from the regular dolls that are either white or negroid. this good because it shows different cultures. I am not so sure about the stars but 29.99 for a doll is a bit over rated. at least i think so . so parents if kids beg and plead forthis toy please put into consideration the price then choose. ...

Teresa is usually Barbie's spa or double-date buddy, but here she finally gets to be so much more. Barbie's auburn-haired sidekick beautifully embodies the beneficent Fairy Queen from Swan Lake. According to the fable, the Fairy Queen saves the princess-turned-swan (turned Barbie) from Rothbart, an evil and jealous wizard. Teresa wears a commanding gown, designed with a nod to the famous ballet, which only a fairy could pull off. It has large gypsy sleeves adorned with fabric flowers, a gathered bodice, and several layers of glittering fabric for its skirt. Her feet are shod with pink slippers. Her head is covered with an earthy floral tiara. Her large magic wand is a long-stemmed jewel-budded flower. And she wears a necklace that lights up like magic for her friends. --Diane Beall ...

a great gift for the budding Barbie collector
This is not for collectors, but is a great gift for the future collectors of Barbie.

She is a wonderful delight in her blue and purple gown. Details such as shoes, won't please collectors, but for that daughter or niece who cannot seem to stay away from your Barbies, they will me THRILLED. She has a lovely face and rich chestnut hair.

Priced perfect for birthday gifts and special treats.

Happy Mother of 2 girls!
I bought this doll for my 3 1/2 year old girl along with Odette and the Unicorn and carriage. My 3 year old just loves them but I think they are just to pretty to play with. She really likes the necklace that came with Teresa. The necklace lights up and flashes. It is easy to put on and off also. My one year old wanted to play with them also but I had to take them away as I didn't want her to ruin them. This is the second barbie I have bought and I am very pleased with it although I paid a fraction of the cost of it, I still would recommend it to others.

Very pretty doll
My 4 y/o daughter received this doll for Christmas along with Barbie of Swan Lake. She actually wanted this one more than Barbie. I don't blame her. The dress is very pretty and nicely made, especially the sleeves. She somes with a beautiful wand and crown, and gorgeus hair-which is a little difficult to keep neat. I think she also came with a light up necklace for the child to wear, which of course any little girl would enjoy.

Absoloutely beautiful
This is a gorgeous doll, just as pretty as the Odette doll. The only complaint I have is that her hair is impossible to keep neat, but the color is so pretty it doesn't matter. I think this doll is just as pretty as some of the collector's dolls I own. Her accessories are nice, and her dress is nicely made.

Oh to be the Queen of the Fairies
She is gorgeous. One has to love the hair color and the style. As a child, you gotta love that she has a beautiful necklace that the girl wears and it lights up, blinks. Its wonderful. They will be playing with these toys for years. Thanks Mattel ... Read more

While Barbie dances the lead in Swan Lake, Ken is there as always to support his friend. Here is the good looking and good-natured Ken as Prince Daniel, wearing a gray glittery smock with puffy white sleeves, silvery pants, and black boots. His blond hair is topped off with a silvery plastic crown and across his face is a warm smile. To lend more set dressing to this imaginary production of Swan Lake, Ken is accompanied by an actual swan. The swan features gauzy netting and matches up well with Ken as well as Barbie herself (sold separately). Ken is impressively articulated and can be arranged in a number of poses. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

This is a great Ken doll!
My daughter has both the AA and white version of this Ken. The AA is a much better doll than the white. His face has a more interesting sculpt(he has character) and his hair is more realistic than the white version's stiff, glued, blonde mess. Of course it's not exactlly educational, but what Barbie is? The doll itself is of great quality, but the clothing is flimsy, it's not ment to be taken on and off again and again. All in all this is a great buy! I got one for myself just because I think it's one of the better looking Kens that have come out in recent years. ... Read more
