Polly Pocket Wall Party Mall on The Wall Fashion Doll Playset

Polly Pocket Wall Party Mall on The Wall Fashion Doll Playset - Review




Colorful, tidy and love the suction shoes
I must admit I didn't realize this Polly Pocket set attached to the wall. My daughter saw it and just wanted the "mall". When I opened the box I was surprised to see so many pieces, and had a moment of panic. However, I decided to try assembling it, and was surprised it went together fairly easily, maybe twenty minutes. Finding a place on the wall in the playroom to hang it took longer. It's suggested to use a three foot x three foot area. It attaches with three Command strips on the back, of which I was hesitant, but did anyway. It is a beautiful set, the blue is eye-popping and happens to match the silk curtains hanging right next to it. My daughter loves the fact that the doll came with suction cup shoes, and they fit all of her Polly Pockets, those with narrow feet and wide feet. It allows the dolls to stand up on the product. We haven't been able to get the ferris wheel to turn, but the escalator does work. Here are my only concerns: after hanging on the wall about...

Description : Polly Pocket Wall Party Mall On The Wall: Polly and her friends can spend a day at the mall enjoying all sorts of adventures because they shop at the ultimate Mallon the wall. This mall really elevates play by attaching to the wall with included safe-for-walls Command strips from 3M while a suction-cup piece-count keeps small pieces in place. Girls can start in the boutique, shopping for the most sensational shoes, then take a break with a ride on the Ferris wheel, located in the center of the mall. Girls simply power it with the hand crank. When Polly doll and her friends have had their turn, girls can push the button to release them down a twisting slide that lands in the food court. Once fortified with snacks, the enthusiastic shoppers c...

Customer review : A cool and fun way to experience Polly World!
My eight-year-old daughter has been a Polly Pocket fan since she was three and keeps all of her Polly Pockets organized in a large drawer which she dips into often to play with, especially when she has friends over. These on the wall Polly sets are actually quite cool and provide a unique playing experience for Polly fans. This set does require some assembly but it is easy enough and the 3M Command strips that come with the set makes attaching the set to the wall pretty easy (also easily removable without causing any damage to the wall). It took my husband and daughter about half an hour to set it up but that was mainly because my husband tried to get my daughter to put most of the pieces together! There is even a large foldout instruction sheet that is in color and makes it all the more user-friendly. The set is meant to replicate a mall with features such as stores, a food court, and even a ferris wheel. There is only one Polly doll included with the set (plastic hair) but can be...

Disney Princess and Pet Party - Snow White

Disney Princess and Pet Party - Snow White - My Personal Recommendation




Cute set!
Snow White is a favorite movie in our house, and this doll does not disappoint! And what you get, for the price is (if you get it in stores) fantastic! You get a Snow White doll, a picnic basket (with a cute illustration of the toddler princess on the front), a rabbit, a blanket, a carton of apple juice, a glass, a fork, a spatula (correct me if I got that wrong), an apple with a bite in it (how ironic!), two sandwiches on a plate, and a pie (probably apple) divided into four separate pieces in its own platter. The dress that the Snow White doll comes in with this set is NOT the same dress as the basic Snow White toddler doll, and, in my opinion, a better one. Also, I love how they have the food separate (not all clumped together, or stuck to its plate), but they probably can get lost easily that way. This is a great set to get for a princess fan, a Snow White fan, or just someone who wants to have a picnic with their doll!

Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Dollhouse

Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Dollhouse - I Pick This One




Perfect Dollhouse!!!
I bought this for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She's a little young, but really enjoys pretend play. The dollhouse is excellently made and seems to be very durable. The colors are great and not to bright and gaudy like some girls toys, just a pretty pink. The little people that come with it seem to be very durable too, they have the wire bendy bodies but do not seem like they will be easy to break or break at all. The furniture is the perfect size for little hands and has all of the basic things that you would want to come in this little set. The other great thing about this dollhouse is its size. We don't have a whole lot of room in our house and I really wanted my daughter to be able to bring her dollhouse out of her room and play in the living room where everyone else is. With this dollhouse she can carry it about, it's a bit heavy for her right now but doable. If you buy this dollhouse you will not be disappointed!!

Catan: Seafarers Game Expansion

Catan: Seafarers Game Expansion - Check it Out




The best of all Catan exansion sets
The Settlers of Catan won board game of the year in 1995 for a reason. I'm not sure if there is an 'expansion pack of the year' award, but if there was, Seafarers would win hands down. I've played a lot (and I mean a LOT) of strategy board games in my time, and Seafarers combined with Settlers of Catan is the best over all strategy game I've ever played.

If you're looking at this expansion, you likely already are sold on Catan (or addicted!) and are looking to expand your game. You have a good number of options, including the 5-6 Player Extension, Seafarers, or Cities & Knights. All of them are solid, but if you were going to just get one, it would have to be Seafarers. Here is why:

Melissa & Doug Folding Horse Stable

Melissa & Doug Folding Horse Stable - on Amazon.com




Nice barn for toy horses
Just got this item today and I am impressed with it's compatibility for various sizes of toy horses. I especially love the fact that it can be folded up to a smaller size to be tucked into a closet when needed.

This barn has multiple doors that open-some slide and other's are dutch doors. We do have another barn of this type that has the dutch doors and the hinge's fell apart right away. I am hoping this one will be better since the doors do seem to open and close more smoothly on this particular barn...but need to stress that the kids need to be somewhat 'gentle' with these dutch doors so they don't break the hinges. The manufacturer really should attach them with metal hinges and they would last alot longer.

Overall...I feel my kids are going to get alot of enjoyment out of this barn.

Customer review : Worth the money
This play barn is exactly what I was looking for for my 4 year old son who is a Horse enthusiast. It is much bigger than I expected, beautiful, and has lots of opening doors and gates. It also comes with a fence that folds up and stores neatly in the barn. This barn is big enough for Breyer horses, and has an a swing out side. It was a great purchase and highly recommended.
