Zip-ity Princess Doll Review & Giveaway, Great Christmas Idea!

When this box arrived the girls were huddled around me as they are every time a package arrives.  When I revealed what was inside they started jumping up and down.  A new Baby!!  You can never have enough babies!

Zip-ity Princess is more than just a new baby doll for the girls, it’s a skill builder.  Using the doll encourages them to work on skills that every child needs.  Thinks like Tying a shoe, Zipping zippers, Buttoning buttons, Snapping snaps, Buckling buckles, and Fastening!

That covers all the basic skills of dressing!  Not only that but it is also helping to build your child’s motor skills and their developing hand/eye coordination.

She is a soft 14” that comes dressed in assorted Princess outfits for imaginative fun. The Zip-ity Princess Doll is suitable for ages 1 and up. Lauren is 6 and Emma is 4. They both have been having fun playing with the doll. Even though Lauren has mastered most of these skills already, it doesn’t stop her from wanting to practice them on the doll. Emma has been practicing as well and all this practice equals to them is playtime!

The MSRP is only $12.99.  You can find it at Toys“R”Us nationwide.

Our thoughts…

The girls love her and have been taking turns sleeping with her.  They have been playing with her daily since we got her in the mail.  I like that it is a learning tool as well as a toy, this is always a plus with me.  Play does not need to be mindless…it can be totally productive and beneficial if you provide the right toys for kids to play with.  The price is totally affordable as well.  I think it would make a great Christmas gift.
