Calling all Hello Kitty Fans!

xoxo Hello Kitty Best Friends - all included items
I found this adorable set while browsing the toy section at Target. What caught my eye was that this Hello Kitty had much longer arms and legs than what you usually see on a Hello Kitty doll.

The doll is about three inches tall and comes with a number of accessories. A lunchbox that opens and closes with a snap. An apple that fits in the lunch box. A small blue mouse. A 'toy' Hello Kitty. A backpack clip that attach the doll to the zipper of your backpack. Finally, a surprise item in a blind bag.

The quality of each item is very good. All items are hard, but the doll's head is firm rubber with a soft texture. The arms and legs of the Hello Kitty doll are movable, but the figure doesn't sit very well as the dress gets in the way of the legs fully moving to a sitting position.

I picked up mine at Target, but it can also be purchased at Amazon along with a few other styles.

Play-Doh My Little Pony Make 'N Style Ponies

After watching cool videos of YouTubers making awesome MLPs, I was super excited to get this set and try it out for myself. This set came with a lot of accessories. 4 pony molds, 1 book mold, 1 accessories mold plate and 9 tubs of play doh. Each of the pony molds also had 2 stamps on the bottom to make cutie marks. Plenty to make lots of little ponies! Although with 4 pony molds, I thought it would've been nice to include a 4th large tub to make 4 ponies at once instead of just 3.

The hardest part for me was filling out the eyes in the mold. It's hard to get that tiny lump of play doh into the exact spot. Especially that spot of white in the middle of the eye. I think next time I might just do the eye after molding the pony.

The hair was also a little tough. The extruder generated very nice stands of hair, but all the segments were connected and I had to cut it to separate them. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

My favorite part of this set is the book mold, there is something satisfying about filling up a mold with lumps of play-doh, close it, squish, and then open to reveal a beautifully formed pony.

I purchased mine from Kohls, but you can get yours at Amazon

Take a look at my ponies and let me know if you want to see me build more!

Lalaloopsy Gel Sticker Play Set - Bea Spells-a-Lot

This Lalaloopsy Gel Sticker play set features Bea Spells-a-Lot who is the smartest and most well-read girl in Lalaloopsy Land.

The gel sticker set sticks to smooth surfaces like the storage tin it comes with and windows and mirros. It is not sticky so taking it off is super easy and won't leave residue.

Stickers include Bea in two different poses, her pink pet owl, stop signs, trees, apples and other schoolhouse accessories.

The storage tin is also a play scene featuring a school house. Use the stickers to create cute scenes. You can also use stickers from other sets to play and interact with each other characters.

There is another set featuring Crumbs Sugar Cookie that I saw at my local Target, Amazon also sells it but you can't select the set you want.

Check out the video below!
