Lalaloopsy Dolls: modern practicality with yesterday's ragdoll charm {Giveaway}

A 2010 Holiday Gift Guide Pick from "And Twins make 5!" 

(This review first appeared on 10/18/10, but is being republished to include our Holiday Guide Giveaway.) 

What do your kids want from santa?  While it's only October, holiday hot toy lists are suddenly popping up all over.  With that in mind, you may want to snatch up a few of the hot selling items before they become impossible to find.

If you know a little girl in the 2.5 to 8 year old category, you'll want to check out the newly released Lalaloopsy Dolls by MGA Entertainment.  With adorable faces, clothing, and names like Jewel Sparkles, Crumbs Sugar Cookie, & Pillow Featherbed; you'll immediately find yourself struggling to decide on just one.

Their story is darling too.  The Lalaloopsy Dolls™ were once rag dolls who magically came to life when their very last stitch was sewn. They each have different personalities that come from the fabrics that were used to make them. They live in a colorful, silly world, and with your love, their magic can go on forever.

While made of a durable and wipeable plastic, these dolls are made to still have a rag doll appearance with a body that is jointed in such a fashion that it even mimics ragdoll movements.  This flexiblity gives the doll a charming appeal while the plastic body gives it a modern practicality this mommy loved.  Spilled yogurt on "Bea Spells-a-lot" comes right off with a swipe of a damp cloth.

Clothes & shoes are easy to change for even the pre-school aged crowd.  Which means you'll be off the hook for outfit changes, but on the hook for securing a more complete wardrobe.  Add-on fashion packs include a raincoat & boots, bathrobe & slippers, as well as a party dress with mary jane shoes.

Think your daughter would love this?  Take note, the Lalaloopsy has been chosen as a 2010 hot toy by ToysRus.
