Each of the four Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters have their own personality and while it may be hard to think that a toy could have a personality, then you surely have not yet met Chunk or any of the other Zhu Zhu Pets. Somehow, they adapt to just about every accessory that they are put into and they are just as likely to jump on their surfboard as they are to cuddle up and take a nap in their home.

It Looks Like Prom Night with the Disney Princess and the Frog Just One Kiss Tiana Doll

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:39:15 +0000

Disney's movies always create a star and when the toy line comes out that is associated with them, you just know that it is going to be on your child's wish list for Christmas. Christmas of 2009 is surely going to be a popular season for the Disney Princess and the Frog "Just One Kiss" Tiana Doll.

Prince Naveen may be a frog, but Tiana will make an incredible impression in her sparkling blue dress. She truly does look like a princess and allows your little girl to make one of the favorite scenes of the movie play out in real life. When her dress lights up, it's truly a magical moment.

One of the most amazing things about this style is how Tiana will turn her head away when the frog approaches her. Somehow your daughter is going to have to convince the Princess to give the frog a small kiss so that she can get her Prince charming. One kiss will make a difference, but only Tiana can make it happen.

While this is an incredible toy, there is a definite word of warning for parents. The manufacturer does not recommend this toy for any children under the age of eight as it has a removable part that can be dangerous for youngsters. Tiana carries a marble with her and this piece could easily be swallowed by a young child that does not know the difference. Because of this, it is recommended that only older children be given the doll.

Every little girl is going to want to make sure that they have the Disney Princess and the Frog "Just One Kiss" Tiana Doll this Christmas. Before the stores run out, make sure that you get over there to get this for your little girl to ensure that her face lights up just like Tiana's dress on Christmas morning.

The days of having still dolls has long since passed as technology has allowed the doll making industry to do some incredible things with the dolls that are coming out today. A perfect example of this is the new Dance Around Dora the Explorer Doll. This cute little doll brings their favorite TV show to life right before their very eyes.

Dora’s Crystal Kingdom Adventure is extremely popular among children and the Dance Around Dora is sure to be one of the best toys of the 2009 Christmas season. This is Dora like we have never seen her as she had donned a beautiful dress instead of her exploring outfit. She truly looks like a little princess.

This is a great interactive toy that will not only dance when your kids touch her necklace, but can also teach them the very steps that she is doing. She will gladly give instruction and help your child learn every step to perfection. The best part is that Dora is a tireless instructor and will keep the kids occupied for hours. However, you better be ready to get in there and dance as well because you know the little ones will not take no for an answer.

Interactive toys are great because they keep a child’s imagination going and introduce them to discovery. This is one of the best things about being a child and with their ability to learn and absorb at its height, toys like Dance Around Dora perfect as they keep them interested in learning because they make it fun to do it.

In addition to Dance Around Dora, there are lots of accessories that you will probably want to get as well. Some of the CD’s that are available are great party tapes and will keep the kids going for hours.

Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On: The Perfect ATV for Little Girls

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:25:54 +0000

Just because they are little girls does not mean that they don't have the same sense of adventure as little boys do. If little boys can get out and about on their Fisher-Price Power Wheels AT Rex, there is no reason that little girls can't give them some competition with the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On.

The Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On is a great looking pink ATV that is just loaded with features. This is the perfect all-terrain vehicle for girls ages three and up. While the paint color may scream feminine, this is one tough ride that can handle any trip that they have in mind. As long as the batteries are charged, they are going to be in for the ride of their lives.

This tricked out ATV features four wheel suspension with automatic brakes. The two speed gear shift will give your little girl a sense of reality as she works her way through the gears to travel 2.5 mph or 5 mph. To keep things safe when they are traveling in reverse, the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On only goes at the slower speed of 2.5 mph. It is big enough for two passengers as long as their combined weight is not over 130 pounds.

A word of caution to any parent, they need to make sure that their child can handle a machine of this caliber before letting them get on. Coming in at around 80 pounds, this can be a lot for some smaller girls to handle. We always advise that the parents give their child a quick course in safety to make sure that every moment that they spend on the Peg Perego Polaris Trail Princess Ride On is a safe one and that nobody gets hurt. Now the only thing left to do is to mount up, turn on the ignition and start the great adventure.

The New Barbie Twilight, Bella & Edward Dolls Steal the Night

admin — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:11:45 +0000

You just knew that with Barbie’s desire for the spotlight, she was going to have to make an appearance in the new Twilight Movie. While Barbie can obviously not come to life, they have created a character that is nearly similar to the characters in Twilight. The new Barbie Twilight, Bella & Edward Dolls are sure to be on every little girl's wish list.

Bella looks absolutely stunning in her hipster pants and suede coat. As she struts her stuff waiting for beau to come and fetch her, it is easy to see why even vampires have found her irresistible. Bella can easily lure in even the strongest of men and conquer them, so it is no surprise that Edward has fallen victim to her charms.

No set would be complete without Edward to accompany Bella in the afterlife. Dressed in similar attire, Edward escorts Bella around town and proudly displays his mortal girlfriend. With the success of the movie, the Barbie Twilight, Bella & Edward Dolls are sure to become an instant collector's piece. If they don't fly off the shelves over the next few days, it will be a small miracle.

The characters are obviously based on the smash hit movie, Twilight. Along with the book, they have captured the imagination of millions and have further thrust the vampire life out into the public eye. Children of all ages have been swept up in this craze and have made Bella and Edward as popular as the characters in any other movie.

This Barbie set is readily available on the Internet, which is probably your best choice to try and land the star-studded package. We are not really sure what was more anticipated, the release of the movie or the release of the Barbie Twilight, Bella & Edward Dolls. However, there is one thing for sure, they are both hits.
