Dress-Up Reviews

My daughter received this magician's hat for her birthday, and has truly enjoyed performing magic tricks for all her friends, classmates, and visitors. She's really learned some showmanship with it, and even adults are at first amazed that her items seem to vanish from the hat. The hat itself is soft and well made. The bunny is a cute stuffed animal, but the best thing about the hat is that is works equally well with all smallish items. A great toy!

I bought this for my 4-year-old son and he is thrilled with it. The hat is very well made... soft and sturdy, so it's comfortable on his head and doesn't lose its shape.

He doesn't seem to tire of showing off his magician skills, and he has already experimented with putting different things in the hat to make them appear and disappear.

This is one of those simple toys that allows kids to really use their imagination. Best of all, no tiny little parts to lose. Even if the rabbit gets misplaced, kids can still use any small toy in the hat.

I bought this gift for my sisters toddler and he loved it!! I had read a review and was trying to decide whether it would be worth it or not. Well it was, and I am very happy that I bought him this toy. It was totally worth every cent to see his face light up when I showed him this magic trick for the first time. I showed him the hidden space inside the hat and within about two minutes he was off showing everyone his new magic hat. He told his grandma see theres nothing in there and then waved his hand over the hat and said abera cadabera and pulled out the bunny. He was about 3 1/2 at the time and I was worried that he would be too young for the trick but he wasn't. He is now almost 5 and I just visited him a month ago and he still enjoyed showing me the hat trick. He even loved wearing the hat on his head and he was laughing the the whole time he played with the hat. I think it also helps with abstract thinking and the concept that something is still there even if you can't see it. It also is very impressive to friends when your child (or in my case my nephew) shows them the trick. It is adorable. I am now pregnant and plan to get one for my baby also :)

MLP Dress-up with Tea Leaf pony is DARLING! Tea Leaf is a pink
pony with gold-and-pink-striped hair. Her symbol is a cute red and yellow teacup surrounded by flowers. She also has pretty teal eyes and her hoof heart is deep red.
Tea Leaf is dressed for a slumber party and wears with a yellow terry robe, yellow plastic bunny slippers, and a soft blue eye mask. Her accessories include a pink plastic teddy bear and a fancy blue comb.
Tea Leaf is cute and durable, and very fun to play with! She is worth the few extra dollars for her clothes.

This is an absolutely lovely addition to the My Little Pony line! she is really gorgeous and My daughter plays with her non-stop. She comes with slumber party style accessories. A robe, eye mask, teddy bear, bunny slippers etc...a wonderful addition to any child's or collector's herd.

My 4 yr daughter absolutely adores this dress. It's extremely durable and cute as can be. I've even put in the washer (the care tag says not too)and the dryer (again, a no-no on the tag.) It still looks brand new. I would buy this 1000 X's over. Fortunately, I won't have to. The only complaint I have is that she NEVER wants to take it off!

I bought this for my daughter to wear for a Halloween costume, she picked it out and calls it her princess dress. She will be 3 next month and just loves all the princess dresses, so that will be on her wish list. This dress is very well made and seems to be pretty durable, we just got it today so we will see. When she is wearing this dress she is at a ball so as for the learning aspect, her imagination is running wild! This is a great buy or a perfect gift, I normally wouldn't spend this much on one dress but it was sure worth it.

My girls are very into dressing up, and we own several dresses in the Disney Princess collection. This, although very cute, seems to be the "cheapist" The elastic in the shoulder straps gives out, and stretches. If you are looking to purchase one of the dresses, i suggest looking at the other four first!

I recently took my older daughter to pick out a prom dress & told my 3 1/2 yo that if she was good in the dress shop we would take her to Toys R Us & let her choose whatever Princess dress she wanted. The Sleeping Beauty dress is the one that she chose. It's a beautiful dress that made her look & feel like a princess but the hem in the front came apart the 1st time she wore it. Also, it can not be washed so that makes it difficult b/c once she puts it on, she doesn't want to take it off for a long time! She is able to put it on all by herself though & she still loves it. I was just disappointed in the lack of quality for the price.

I have to admit, when I first saw the "Let's Pretend" brand name, I was really hoping this was an Uncle Ted costume. "Come one, come all! The big, the small..." That was such a great record set when I was a little kid.

I quickly got over my disappointment when I saw that it was actually this awesome hair-dresser costume. My kids love to play "vocational school," so I promptly bought this item. Now they can pretend to be a budding cosmetologist, along with pretending to learn horticulture or air-conditioning repair.

Here's a helpful hint: get a stuffed toy poodle, and your kids can pretend to practice pet-grooming. It's like two costumes for the price of one!

Featuring a toy hairdryer, curling iron, brush, smock with transparent pockets, and toy towel (really just a regular towel), this set gives you almost everything you need to pretend to cut and style an imaginary hairdo. Granted, it lacks toy scissors...but that's why we have our first two fingers!...

I got this for my 3 year old niece, who loves to dress things up, and everyone at the birthday party thought it was the coolest gift. Since my niece tends to pretty much just play with the toys that are out and most accessible, my sister put this one away in her closet as the true test. She asked for it the next day, and she still plays with it quite a bit.

I love this toy i'm 11 I got this when i was 7 from my grandmother AND its sooo much fun hope they have more close i will buy close me and my friend have sooo much fun playing together

Awsome Toy

These wooden "paper dolls" are very cool! Sturdy wood dolls w/ magnetized clothing pieces. I first saw these at my 4-year-old daughter's pre-school. The kids loved them! Now we have a set at home (and an extra set hidden away for a gift...)

Star Swirl is a white pony with pink hair. Her mark is a circle of little pink stars.
Durability is only four stars because the straps on the hat broke on one of my ponies' hats and now the hat falls off all the time.
Educational is three stars because she can teach kids to water plants.

This toy is great! My daughter loves it. She really likes playing with the rain jacket.

I got this pony for my birthday. I am an older collector. I love her sparkly pink hair and how it has dark and light pink hair. Her symbol on her lip is swirling stars which is beautiful. She is even more beautiful without her coat and hat on.
The hat looks like it has to be gentle with or it might loose the band that keeps in on the pony's head, but something probably can be sewn in its place if you are good with sewing. The small flower pot and flowers look like they can be eaisly lost.

I think it is a good pony for collectors and children alike.

My daughter really liked the movie and seems to pay particular attention to detail. It was wonderful not to have to add to this dress to make it look like the one from the doll and movie. Sleeves seem to fray fairly easily. I used Fray Check on them before they got too bad and that seems to have increased the durability. A yr after receiving it she still plays with it quite often.

I bought this costume for my 4 year old daughter who loves her Barbie Rapunzel doll and it was a tremendous hit! The dress looks just like the doll's dress and comes with a long braid, shoes, wand, crown, rings and earrings.

The dress is better made than most of the dress up costumes I have purchased and it is adorable. It fits well although you have to be careful not to stretch out the material too much. I also sewed on an extra velcro closure on the back near the skirt to make a little better fit. I've had no problems with any of ther other pieces (my daughter particularly likes the braid), except for the earrings which do pinch. This was definitely worth the price. I may even buy a second one for when this one wears out!

My daughter received this as a gift to wear as her Halloween costume. She looked like a true little princess. Within the first 30 minutes of wearing it, the dress pulled away from the seam at the waist. We fixed it but it continues to be a problem. My daughter wears this dress almost every day and she no longer cares that it is tearing at the waist. We have just about given up on fixing it because it is unraveling pretty badly now. I belive it is definitely worth the money spent on it as she has gotten so much enjoyment out of it.
