Disney – Enchanted Hair Rapunzel review

ABOUT-
-Pretty young Rapunzel has the most beautiful long hair that is so much fun to brush and when you do, her hair magically glows!
-The 15-inch doll comes beautifully dressed and includes a tiara, brush and mirror.
-Now you can share in the magic and adventure of Rapunzel’s world, too

My Thoughts-
“Santa” brought Lee this beautiful Rapunzel doll for Christmas. She had been asking for one for almost a whole year now, so to see her face LIGHT up when seeing it was priceless.
I was excited for this doll too until Lee tried brushing it’s hair. The company had some kind of product on the hair to make it look wavy in the packaging but made it impossible for my child to brush. The whole purpose of this doll was to brush her hair and see it light up. I spent a good hour brushing out the doll’s hair, before Lee could do it herself. About a handful of that hair fell out in the process.
But that is my only negative thought on this doll. Since fixing that problem Lee takes her around everywhere. And just before bed brushes her hair out and puts it in a ponytail, to keep it from tangling. Just like we do with Lee’s hair before bed. It’s very cute to see Lee treat this doll like a little girl and take care of her.
I love seeing Lee’s face when the hair lights up. “See mommy, she has magic hair! I want magic hair someday too.” AWWW.
Would I recommend this toy? Only to those who have patients for getting the hair brush-able. But it is worth the time to see your little girl’s face so happy.

We bought this doll at Toys-R-Us. Product photo and product info came from toysrus.ca

Blok Squad Police Force Pursuit review

ABOUT-
“Put on your police hat and hit the streets with sirens blaring, a Bloktropolis state of emergency calls for you to serve and protect on land and sea with a team of stat-of-the-art Patrol vehicles.
Kids will have a blast as they build all three Patrol vehicles to secure a major accident site, lock down a crime scene.” for ages 5 and up

My Thoughts-
We were given a Blok Squad Police Force Pursuit set by Mega Bloks to try out and then share with my readers.
Although it says it’s for ages 5 and up. I would say the set up would be for kids ages 10 and up. My 5 year old LOVES playing with the toy now that all the pieces are put together but she had no clue how to read the directions. In fact I even had some problems and had to have my husband help me out. After about an hour of working together we got it all put together. It was fun doing that part and watching everything come together to become a boat, squad car and van, along with a trailer hitch for the boat and squad car.
We were missing one piece but had another piece that worked ok in it’s place. There were also a few left over pieces, so Lee built her own little thing with those, not sure what it is, but she’s having fun. I love that the little police men have a set of hand cuffs, walkie-talkies, bull horn, night stick, shield and little gun that came with them. It’s so cute watching Lee have two of the guys talking on the walkie-talkies to each other and the third guy in hand cuffs.
Once this set is put together you cannot take it apart, as the sticker decals yo place on them over lap parts. but I’m ok with that because the parts are very tiny and we have a 2 year old in our house, so the less chance of her finding a small part laying around.
We’ve never played with small Bloks from Mega Bloks before but I can say, this was FUN. Fun to work together as a family and fun to watch my little girl’s imagination soar!!
