Melissa & Doug Deluxe 24-Piece Princess Elise Magnetic Dress-Up

Bought this for a little 3 year old who loves princess dolls! She absolutely loved this set, she can now change the dresses on this doll herself! Loves to match the dress to the hats and gloves that go with it. Perfect gift for this little girl!

We got this for our 5 year old grandaughter and she liked it. It may be her age but don't know if it would interest her for very long. She played with it for a little while then moved on. But we got the other one for our 4 year old grandaughter and she seemed quite taken with it and played with it for quite awhile. This was all on Christmas morning, so time will probably tell better how they like them.
Well made and their mom really likes them and said they would be good for taking on a trip in the car to occupy them.

Melissa & Doug have always made excellent products and this is no exception. I have three of these by the kids bookshelf and they just love them. The magnetic dress-up dolls are very durable and well made. This Princess set is very cute with different outfits to play with. The neighborhood kids come over and this is usually one of the first games they grab from the bookshelf. It's been played with MANY times and it still looks brand new! The clothing doesn't "peel-off" and you can't even see fingerprint smudges on them. The kids have so much fun with these. Even the older kids, ages 8-12, will play with these in a role-playing manner. A GREAT PURCHASE!

There are other magnet dolls by Melissa and Doug, all equally as good! I wouldn't (like other reviewers) say Melissa and Doug's quality is top-notch on all their toys we had a hammer toy splinter apart and another "wooden" puzzle that was just thin sheets of wood glued one atop another to make each wooden piece chunky and we're constantly glueing that back down as each piece peels up BUT in the case of this toy it's SOLID. Even the magnet holds well to the wood, no peeling up, quite durable.

And you can't beat the Amazon price, free shipping, no sales tax, under $10. We paid $[...] at Barnes and Noble because that's where we first saw them and thought the idea was ingenious.

My only complaint would be that each magnet doll comes with a wooden stand she can placed in but because the doll is so top heavy really any slight movement of her topples her out of the base. My DH was thinking of making another wider base to combat that issue.

While we love all their magnet dolls the clothing parts are, sadly, not interchangeable so we have to bag each doll separate. But that makes for easy portablity, one for upstairs, one for down, one in the diaper bag LOL.

And we got these when my DD was no longer chewing on toys, that was about 20 months old and so even though there are smaller parts (the gloves on this one, for the ballerina one the shoes) she has never had any issues with choking on anything. It has helped improve her coordination, she's now 2 and getting the parts on in the perfect spots.

Dress up is always fun. This is easy to pick up the pieces and keep them in the box.
