Fall 2015 Springfield Boutique Dolls & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


I bet as your daughter started school this fall, you updated her wardrobe with new outfits and shoes to help her get ready for the school year. But what you might have forgotten is that it’s also a great time to spruce up a doll’s wardrobe, especially the 18” adorable Springfield® Dolls ($21.99) – Ella, Paige, Alexis, Madison and Savannah. The doll collection known for its silky hair and sparkling eyes now has a brand new and Boutique Collection of cute clothes at a budget friendly price, exclusively at Jo-Ann Fabric Stores.

Trendy tops, pants, skirts and even gowns reflect the fashion tastes of upcoming fashionistas. This month, Jo-Ann Stores (bricks & mortar stores, not the website) will start to stock perfectly packaged outfits like a “Paris printed White T-shirt, floral printed leggings and pink patent shoes” at $14.99.


For those unfamiliar with Springfield Dolls, they have been around since 1996! The “girls” have sparkling lifelike eyes that open and close and boast silky, long, rooted hair that can be brushed and styled. Each doll is soft and huggable with moveable arms and legs, making dressing and undressing easy.

Our favorite doll from the Fall 2015 Springfield Boutique Dolls is the Madison doll. She comes in a gift box and has a heart print on her brightly colored nightgown:


Madison is a gorgeous African-American doll with brown eyes, curly black hair in a yellow nightgown. We also received a super beautiful outfit: a purple gown with gold glitter design on purple tulle, white gloves and black patent shoes! My daughter loves dressing up in fancy play dresses so she LOVES that she can now dress her doll up fancy like her too!


This doll is so huggable, lovable and beautiful and my daughter loves her new friend and dressing her in her new outfit! I know my daughter and Madison will make memories together and go on many adventures for years to come!

Fashion Friends Magnetic Set & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


I am a big fan of creative play with my kids! My children, especially my son, have the most creative minds and sometimes spend their whole days creating stories, make believe, and pretending!

Creative play is a big part of any child’s development, and encouraging a love of creating can help little ones grow in ways you can’t even imagine!


That’s why The Manhattan Toy Company is introducing four new themed adventures ranging from fashion design to transportation vehicles in their award winning imagine I CAN® play kit line. All games and kits feature appealing tin boxes with a carrying handle, perfect for those on-the-go this summer. Playful grownups and kids alike are sure to delight in magnetic games Character Mix-Up, Fashion Friends and Travel Time. These affordably priced kits were created for children ages 3 and up.

My children are LOVING the Fashion Friends magnetic kit!


Fashion Friends 
$25.00 • Ages 3+


Little fashionistas will enjoy making their own fashion statement by mixing and matching outfit and accessory pieces. Packed inside this kit are 85 magnetized pieces and 4 paper background scenes. Pants, dresses, hats and tops -- so many choices and colors to mix and match. A little imagination can make a chic outfit or happily avoid making a mismatch. Fashionable tin case with handle allows for easy storage and portability for another say-yes-to-the-dress session.


My children, especially my daughter, love to dress up dolls in different outfits over and over and do magnets so I knew this Fashion Friends kit would be a perfect fit for them!


And I was right! From the first day I opened this magnetic kit, they have been playing it every day, mixing and matching outfit after outfit, creating and loving it!


I love the magnetic aspect and carrier case because it allows us to take this kit easily on trips in the car and even to restaurants and other places they need to sit quietly for awhile.


There are tons of great options for the clothing and accessories and I love the different backgrounds they offer as well!


This is a great creativity magnetic kit and I highly recommend it for encouraging creativity in any house!
