Dora Legos are Adorable
Our family loves legos and my 22 month-old daughter loves Dora so it is a great combination. One thing I really like about this Lego set is that the Dora and Diego figures look like the cartoon renditions. There are so many Dora toys out there that are just ugly. These are cute and of course since it is Lego it is extremely durable. ... Read more

Makes eating fun!
My son just recieved this as one of his bday gifts for his 4th bday. Needless to say, he loves Dora and Boots! Although we have never had problems getting him to eat his meals, this makes meal time all that much more fun. :) The colors are very vibrant and cheerful. Now his brothers fight with him over who gets the Dora plate, bowl or cup. Think its time we get another set huh?!

Cute
My two year old daughter received this for her birthday, and so far it has ben a big hit at meal time. She loves getting her Dora plates out of the cabinet and setting her table. They are good sized for toddlers- they hold the correct portion size for a little one.

The patterns are cute, and the colors are pretty, though after a few dish washing the color appear to be fading a little. They seem to be well made, but if your child is still a plate thrower, I don't think I would give this set yet, as they are a hard plastic, and I feel they would break after repeated abuses.

But for the money, it's very cute, and is a good way to teach your child about table manners, etc. ... Read more

Recommended Age is not correct
My daughter received this gift for her 1st birthday knowing that she would grow into it fairly soon. The picture on the box showed a seat that is about 6 inches off the ground. I stored it in the closet until she was 20 months old (18 months is the recommended age to start) and my daughter was so excited to see us put together her first bike. What a dissapointment when her feet couldn't reach the pedals. This was a full size tricycle and there is no way she would be able to ride it. She had a lot of fun when we would push her around on it, but that is way tooo tiring for an all day event. My daughter is now two years old and her feet still can't make it all the way around on the pedals. She is tall for her age, so shame on the manf for putting an incorrect age to start. We ended up purchasing a bike that would fit her height and she loves it!

Lot's of fun but pedals poorly attached
My daughter loved riding on this tricycle. But after only 1 month in the house, one of the pedals came off and now she can't ride it anymore. I would have expected more durability for the price paid. Recommend spending a little more and getting a more durable product.

Cute bike
This bike was purchased for my 2 year old daughter. She just fits the bike. After about a month of practicing, she can actually pedal down the street. A great first bike!

Disney Princess Trike---Perfect for a 3 Year
We just bought this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. Although she is already very good at the peddaling thing, this was her pick. She loves the Disnay Princesses, and although the box says up to 3, she is not ready for a bicycle yet, she is very small for age, mostly short and she doesn't not feel as safe on the bicycle because of the breaks on the pedals, she is not ready yet, if we make it until next summer, I find this to have been a great investment, she loves it. Only complaint, the directions were horrible! My hubby assembled it on his own from looking at the picture on the box.

Daughter Absolutely LOVES it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2. She is a small girl, (my 18 mo old niece was about the same size) and my daughter could ride it right away. No way an average size 1 year old could ride it though, in my opinion especially with the coordination aspect. 12 month old??? I don't think so. Toys R Us's age recommendation fits better than the mfg. My daughter is turning 3 and I think it will suit her for awhile. Although a bit too big for it, a 6 year old neighborhood girl was having fun riding it today. ... Read more

A little girl's best buddy
My daughter, Avery, who is 3 now has carried this dora with her for a year now. Dora's hair is a wreck now, but other than that, she is up for the trip. We also have Boots and Swiper, but Dora is my daughter's pick every time. If we need a toy to entertain her while I have an appointment, for example, Dora is there! This was completely worth the money. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The Little Mermaid was a fairy tale for the ages, not to mention a darn fine musical. Now this beautiful Ariel doll can help young princesses everywhere reenact the story, sing the songs, and embellish the adventures. Dressed in her mermaid outfit with a shimmery green fin and lavender halter-top, this blue-eyed beauty is smiling like she hasn't a worry in the world. Accompanying her are flimsy cardboard shapes of Flounder, Sebastian, and a quartet of seahorses that can be propped up on cardboard stands. A lavender plastic brush is also included for combing out Ariel's bright copper tresses. --Pam Lauer ... Read more

The doll is played with daily
My daughter received this doll for her 3rd birthday and has played with it in the bathtub just about every night since then. The velcro on her top is *just now* starting to show wear. In my opinion, that's not bad for a toy that has been played with in water for the last 7 months. She likes to have the fins on and then take them off so that Ariel has legs by the end of her bath so the fins are handled often...still not torn or damaged in any way.

I think the doll is as durable as I would expect. My daughter isn't necessarily gentle with the clothing as she pulls them on and off so I can't imagine why the other reviewers have damaged clothes after a short amount of time.

Beautiful Ariel doll
Wow! This doll is gorgeous! Her long flowing red hair, shimmering tail, and sparkling bikini top make this the perfect Ariel doll. This is much nicer than the one at the Disney store. Most of these reviews complain that the doll is not durable and the clothes come off, well don't give it to a little kid! I think this doll is intended more for collectors. This doll is perfect for me, because I've loved Ariel ever since I was a little girl. If you want a doll for a little one, try "Bathtime Ariel" That is a cloth doll that would be more durable.

Beautiful Ariel doll
This doll is simply beautiful. Most of these reviews say that the doll's clothes don't stay on, and the doll is not durable. Well it's perfect for me! I'm a 16 year old who loved the little mermaid while growing up. This is the best Ariel doll out there, much nicer than the one at the Disney store. That one is so awful, you can see the legs through the tail, and the top is blue! Ariel's top is NOT blue, it's purple! But enough about that, THIS doll is wonderful. If you are buying for a young one, I recommend also buying "Sparkling Ariel". That one is Ariel in her shimmery pink dress from when she has dinner with Eric. The reason I said buy that too, is that one is Ariel as a human, and this one featured here is her as a mermaid. That's easier for a little one playing so she won't have to take off the tail when she wants Ariel to be a human.

We call her "Ariel on Land"
My daughter and I went looking for this doll and my 4 year old couldn't wait for me to open it up. Before the end of the day the doll's top had fallen to pieces and the fins were falling off. (Ariel is only a Mermaid with the clothes on-- the fins are part of the outfit. She just has normal doll legs underneath). I sewed them back together twice, but within a few days of purchase, they had just dissolved. Ariel's head is also quite loosely attached to the body, and she reminds me of a "bobble head". Ariel is still among the mermaid toys my daughter plays with every day, mostly because she *is* Ariel, but it was quite disappointing to me in terms of quality. Mermaid Fanasy dolls are MUCH better, and better priced, I think. When my daughter remembers Ariel's fins and wonders what happened to them, I just remind her that Ariel went to live with her prince and that she has an "Ariel on the land" doll. Too bad she won't let me put any other clothes on her... Ariel remains naked for now.

Great doll, terrible clothes...
My daughter begged for this doll for Christmas and it is still her most played with toy, however, we have problems keeping her top to stay on and after several changes, the waist fins are separating from the rest of the tail. This can be repaired with needle and thread, but I am disappointed with the quality of her outfit. The doll itself is beautiful, much nicer than the other Ariel dolls available through Disney. She has a teen Skipper body, so if your little angel wants to dress her up, I suggest Skipper fashions. ... Read more

Quick game and a lot of fun
I bought this for my six year old daughter. We have a lot of fun playing it. You pick who you want to be and have cards that have missing items. The items are on pieces that are scattered, upside down, throughout Strawbery Land. What's great is a)it's a memory game, b)it's a quick game, c)for the parents, it doesn't require constant checking of directions or helping with reading (very helpful after a long day of work and school when you want a game where you can just have fun and relax!) Def a good game for the young girl's age group.

A Winner
My daughter received this for her 5th birthday and she absolutely loves it. It combines the classic board and memory games together. The pieces are made of very thick cardboard and are very durable. The only small complaint is the spinner which tends to get stuck easily. We have played this game multiple times each day since received and she is still excited everytime we open the box. An excellent game!!!

Lots of fun and not too complicated!
My daughter received this game as a gift for her 5th birthday and we play it all the time. It is not so complicated that it is hard for a child to learn how to play but moves quickly enough that adults don't get bored playing it with little ones. And the illustrations are adorable! It's good family fun. ... Read more

What color you going to have, Daddy?
This card game is my 4.5 year old daughter's current favorite game and has been for a couple of weeks now. She could play this many, many times a day. We'll never know how many unless she takes it upon herself to play a 1-player version -- my wife and I take turns playing with her. This game does not focus on the characters in the Dora universe; rather, you need to find objects that might appear in Dora stories (star, book, boat, flute, binoculars, maracas, etc.). Each player has their own backpack card which shows which other cards you will need to get; each different colored backpack requires a different set of items to be found. A good thing about this game is that a "hand" goes by pretty quickly, so you can play for only a short time and then your child may agree to stop. Also, it is obviously quite portable. Dora fans may be disappointed that there's no Boots, Swiper, et. al. On the other hand, your child need not be "into" Dora to appreciate the anticipation of drawing a desired card. Not highly educational although matching skills get exercised, and my daughter was motivated to learn to pronounce "binoculars" (she used to say "binocky-oars", which is neither here nor there but I could hardly leave it out). You can use a little strategy but it is mostly a game of luck. ... Read more

3 yr olds favorite game
Again, once they come out with Dora toilet paper...my home will be 100% completely Dora....
Anyway - this game is great. I bought it for my daughter for Valentine's Day, not knowing if she'd like it. Well, she does. The dominos are cardboard, as you see in other posts. If your child is going to chew them, that is a problem. If your child is older and past the chew on everything stage, they are pretty durable. The pictures are bright and fun. They are educational because they teach children matching skills. My daughter has also created her own versions of the game, which have been quite fun too, so it can lead to imaginative play too. We have to play this game together at least 1x a day, so it makes for some good Mom/Daughter time too. I am very happy with this purchase.

Dora Dominos
I bought these dominos for my 2 year old daughter []for Christmas. When I bought them I thought they were actually dominos...the plastic kind. On toysrus.com you can see that they are not, but I didnt see them on this site before I purchased them. I was shocked when I opened the package for my daughter and found they were cardboard! I have three children under the age of five that adore chewing on cardboard. I decided to return the Dora Dominos but forgot about them (I hid them on top of the fridge so the kids could not find them). One afternoon while getting a puzzle for my 4 year old I found them. I decided it was too late to take them back and gave them to my 2 year old to test them out. She loved them. The pictures of Dora, Boots, Isa and the rest are bright and colorful. The cardboard is pretty thick and about as durable as a cardboard domino can be. My daughter has played with them for about three weeks and they have not fallen apart or even bent. I didn't give the product five stars in durability because I know if one of my daughters were to chew on the dominos, they would surely fall apart easily. Something a plastic domino would not do. I gave the Dora dominos five stars for educational value because they are great for counting and matching and etc.. Finally, I gave this toy 4 stars for fun, they seem to keep my 2 year old happy for at least a half hour at a time. She uses them as play money as well as using them for counting and such. Overall, the Dora Dominos are a four star product just because they are cardboard. If they were plastic they would definately get five stars from me. ... Read more

Six beautiful Disney princesses adorn this sturdy plastic dinner set. Picky-eating Princess fans will forget they're consuming broccoli when they see it's on a heart-shaped plate decorated with Snow White, Beauty and the Beast's Belle, and Sleeping Beauty. Oatmeal will be gobbled from the heart-shaped bowl featuring Ariel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. The set also includes a spoon with the face of Cinderella, and a tumbler with Jasmine, Ariel, and Belle. The dishes are nontoxic and dishwasher safe. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more
