#2 Manhattan Toy Babe Stella Doll $24.13 (all ages)

The problem with a lot of soft dolls is that there isn't a lot the child can do with them. I love that this one comes with removable wearing apparel and diaper and has a pacifier that attaches via magnet – and then smart! There are too tons of cute accessories available for Stella (nosotros're talking clothes, baby carriers, and even a potty).

#3 Mommy & Me My First Doll Stroller $19.99 (12 months – five years)

Around the time they start walking all kids, girls and boys, Absolutely Love pushing around toy strollers.

Recently, her stroller has been straight-up commandeered by her eighteen month sometime brother who also can't get plenty of pushing it around all 24-hour interval. I hope you, if yous a buy a toy stroller for your kid, it volition be one of the most-used toys you've e'er purchased.

Every elementary aged girl I know, including my kindergartener daughter, has 1 at the very top of her list and as of this writing in late October they are sold out everywhere.

The magic in this toy is how kids are encouraged to nurture it both to come out of information technology's egg (tap and it will tap back) and once information technology's in the world (Give your Hatchimal a name and enhance it through 3 stages: from babe, to toddler, to kid). My suspicion is that this toy isn't quite equally absurd once it hatches, but information technology does exercise a lot (walk, talk, dance, play games, and more than) and though y'all can't put information technology back in the egg, you lot can start it over as a infant whenever y'all want.

The careers line is one that fits the bill. Instead of putting the accent on apparel, it focuses on diverse occupations and sets upward girls to focus on those things in their play.

Secondly, these guides are meant to be toys that are proven winners – the stuff I've seen kids return to again and again… These Lottie Dolls were the exception- as soon as I received the email about them, I knew I wanted them in our home.

Some other hot item in the tech toys genre this year is the newest Fur Real Friend(this sweetness dog on a leash from the line is also a Large hitting with girls).

Along with his signature party trick, Torch also makes a diverseness of cute little sounds when his nose is pet – chortling, gurgling, burbs, sneezes, purring sounds, meow similar sounds, snoring – and turns his caput and blinks his eyes. Parents also remark that he is markedly cuter than other robotic plush toys and this inspires nurturing blazon play in their kids.

This doll house is great for the smaller dolls on this list (magiclip princess dolls and mooshka fairies) but information technology besides comes with information technology's own little people and serves as another slap-up way for your kids to experiment with playing house. Whenever I make a big toy purchase for my kiddos, I obsess about it a bit. I research (a lot) to observe the train table, play kitchen, etc. that's not just going to hold up the best, merely will also offer up the most benign play feel.

When my daughter indicated that she wanted a doll house for her birthday last yr, my enquiry led u.s.a. to purchase this one and we've been really, really pleased with it. The rooms are easy to access and information technology came with a bizillion pieces of furniture that both my son and daughter use for lots of dramatic play. What I love most near it, though, is that instead of one permanent construction, the house is modular and can be reconfigured a agglomeration of different ways.

This really extends the kids' date because it makes it both a corking building toy and a great dramatic play toy. For that reason, I would recommend this for both boys and girls (if husband gawfs at buying your boy something pink, just paint over those two walls with chalkboard paint to add to the fun).

When my girl indicated that she wanted a doll house for her altogether last twelvemonth, my inquiry led u.s.a. to buy this one and we've been actually, really pleased with it. The rooms are easy to access and information technology came with a bizillion pieces of furniture that both my son and daughter apply for lots of dramatic play. What I dear about about it, though, is that instead of 1 permanent construction, the firm is modular and can be reconfigured a bunch of different ways.

This really extends the kids' engagement because it makes it both a great edifice toy and a dandy dramatic play toy. For that reason, I would recommend this for both boys and girls (if husband gawfs at ownership your boy something pink, just paint over those two walls with chalkboard paint to add to the fun).*Postal service contains affiliate links.

Dolls & Castles for Princess (and Fairy) Lovers

Thanks in no small office to the movie Frozen, when my daughter was 4 years old she officially got into princesses – which led to quite a chip of inquiry on princess dolls and castles for her altogether. Consequently, we now have an unabridged section on princess (and yeah – Anna, Elsa, and Olaf make a few appearances), enjoy!

Disney Princess Toddler Dolls Starting at $17.99 (xviii months – half-dozen years)

These super popular and cozy dolls are the perfect size for a child to elevate around all twenty-four hour period long. And, again, the price is really skilful! If you've got a piddling i that just wants an Elsa, Anna, Mulan, Belle, ect. to telephone call her ain and cuddle with at night – this is a keen choice!

Disney Princess Trivial Kingdom Magiclip 7-Doll Gift Set $33.39 (3 – 10 years)

When my daughter decided she wanted some princesses to play with, I wanted to get her a group of them without spending a ton of coin. What I really liked about this set was that she can put them all into a play bag or bag and hands tote them around, plus – bonus – the plastic dresses are interchangeable and easily removed with a pinching motion. My daughter REALLY likes this set and it works perfectly with the inexpensive castle nosotros got her to continue with it.

Mooshka Fairytale Fairies starts at $6.49 (non-mouthing kids and upwards)

Concluding summer my girl and I slowly worked on putting together a small fairy garden in our back grand. So, naturally, when her summer birthday got shut, I started hunting for some modest but durable fairies that could be used to play in it outside.

It took a little searching, but these Mooshka fairy dolls absolutely fit the beak. They are the perfect petite size and nice and washable. My girl too absolutely loved how each one came with a little furry friend (I loved the great price). I've also heard good things nigh the larger, and more cuddly, Sing Around the Rosie (which sings) and Goodnight Starlight Doll (which sings and lights up).

Barbie Careers Line of Dolls Starting at $12.97 (five – x years)

I'll acknowledge it, I'k not a huge Barbie fan… merely that doesn't mean my daughter doesn't love her. Then when looking for Barbie dolls for her, I endeavor to compromise past at least going for the lines that I see as having the nearly play value and setting the best example.

The careers line is i that fits the nib. Instead of putting the emphasis on clothes, information technology focuses on various occupations and sets upwards girls to focus on those things in their play.

Also, the props that come with some of the sets are pretty absurd and you really tin't beat out the price – perfect as a birthday party souvenir or for a deluxe stocking stuffer!

Especially notable options include:

• Barbie Careers Eye Doctor Playset $16.58
• Barbie Careers Game Developer $12.97
• Barbie Careers Farm Vet $23.99

DC Super Hero Girls Collection starting at $11.99 (5 – 10 years)

Speaking of dolls that send the right bulletin to our girls, I'm loving the new line of DC Super Hero Girls. Not merely do they have a very fun look, they also transport a great bulletin of empowerment. I also really capeesh the articulating limbs so kids (both girls and boys!) can utilize them for acting out all sorts of super hero moves. You can buy the larger 12″ dolls individually or go in for the 6″ versions in a iii pack or six pack.

Disney Frozen Color Change Elsa Doll $24.99 (2 – 10 years) and Disney Frozen Anna & Kristoff Dolls 2 Pack $24.24 (iii – 10 years)

Given the insane popularity of the Frozen film, information technology's surprisingly hard to find good quality Frozen graphic symbol dolls. These all become high marks for their quality and large Barbie-like size. The two pack is an especially good deal and kids volition love Elsa's "magic" dress which has a pattern that appears when it gets wet. And don't forget the Disney Frozen Olaf Doll $xiv.99 (three – 10 years).

This guy is the perfect companion for the Frozen dolls mentioned above. He likewise is a skillful size, plus he comes apart and can exist put dorsum together once again (just like the real Olaf) and his facial expressions change when y'all push button downwards on his caput. A great piffling toy for both boys and girls and a reasonable toll – this guy will likely finish up in 1 of my kids' stockings this year.

Barbie Mariposa and The Fairy Princess Castle Playset with Mini-Dolls $21.51 (iii – 10 years)

No 1 was more than surprised than me when I found myself putting this plastic Barbie castle in my Amazon cart only I just couldn't tum spending $60 – $100 on a wooden castle that I would prefer when I knew what my daughter really wanted was something that was purple and pink and sparkly. (Plus, I wasn't totally convinced how much she'd play with a castle and those wood versions accept a BIG footprint – I really liked the compact size of this 1.)

So, after a lot of research, I ordered this ane and crossed my fingers that it wouldn't be a slice of junk that cruel apart in a few weeks. Thankfully, my daughter loves information technology, information technology's the perfect size for the 4″ magiclip princess dolls we got her and it's held upwardly remarkably well. Plus it came with ii additional fairy dolls that actually "fly" around the superlative.

Disney Frozen Glitter Glider Anna, Elsa and Olaf Doll Prepare $23.80 (3 – 10 years)

Now that we have the Disney princess dolls and the Barbie Mariposa castle above, nosotros'll exist adding this set of 4″ Anna and Elsa dolls to our girl'due south drove for Christmas. Not only do the dolls in this gear up have removable, glittery dresses, they also "glide" effectually on new rolling mechanism. Plus, I dearest that an Olaf figurine comes with the duo.

There are also Glitter Glider dolls available in other Disney princess besides as a Disney Princess Glitter Glider Castle $35.00 (3 – 10 years). This wasn't available when I get-go did my searching and were I to do information technology again I recollect I'd be just equally likely to buy this one although the Barbie Fairy Princess Castle still has a slight edge with the room it allows for dramatic play (and accompanying props).

LEGO Disney Princess 41055 Cinderella's Romantic Castle $59.97 (half-dozen – 12 years)

Equally is attested to by the LEGO section of our "Best Building & Construction Toys" gift guide, we are a LEGO loving family (we even have an entire LEGO station in our house). So it's no surprise that i of the few princess castles I recommend would be a LEGO castle.

When fully assembled, this is a thing of beauty and it comes with a lot of prissy accessories. Plus, it'due south a castle that promotes both imaginative open up-concluded play and spatial reasoning skill through building – win, win!

Melissa & Doug Folding Princess Castle $63.16 (iii – 10 years)

Had my daughter been a die-hard princess fan instead of a make new 1 (and I knew she'd spend a lot of time playing with a princess castle), and then this is undoubtedly the one I would have picked. I'm a fan of Melissa & Doug toys in general and I love that this play castle has lots of accessible achieve-in play infinite thanks to multiple play levels and an open courtyard.

The impressive palace playscape also includes removable turrets, bedrooms, a working drawbridge, a stable, and more than. Plus the wooden construction and hand-painted accents are wonderful and I like the fact that information technology expands big enough for several kids to play on at one time but likewise folds into a smaller size when not in apply.
