If you are looking for a toy for a little girl aged 2- 3 years that will be loved and adored, played with for hours, not break the bank and encourage imaginative play, then look no further. I have it here.

Fisher-Price Minnie Mouse Bowtique fashion doll sets are perfect. There are quite a range of them now but we were recently sent the Beach Bowtique one to review:

Little girls love dressing up but toys of this sort are usually quite small and fiddly. These Minnie Mouse dolls are a great size though – small enough to pop in your handbag but big enough to be able to play with alone. By that I mean not asking Mummy to change her outfit every 2 seconds, not just leaving them alone of course!

This particular set includes the doll, a snap on swimsuit and dress, a hair bow, a pair of flip flops, sunglasses and a picnic basket. Everything you need for a day at the beach (except a towel):

The Minnie Mouse doll herself is pretty cute. Her arms move up and down and she is the perfect size for chubby little hands and fingers. Little ones will love dressing her up and will be able to do it easily themselves:

Some parents might not like the fact that her dress doesn't cover her bottom but my girls (aged 1, 3 & 5) have never commented on it. They all play happily with this toy seperatley and together. It's great!

Daisy at 22 months sits for ages, changing her outfits and making her go for walks. The older ones act out all sorts of stories and it's lovely to see their little imaginations go wild, it won't be long until Daisy is doing that too:

 

I have told her she's not edible though!

I think we might need some more of the range now. These toys are fab!

I was sent this set for the purpose of review but all words and opinions are my own
