 My girls love itAug 03, 2007
We got this for them for Christmas and it is still played with 18 months later. I agree with the reviewer who wished for more clothes. Part of ours are missing ( I belive my husband accidentally threw them away) and as such I wish I could get more.

 Cute... but not fun for long!Jul 04, 2007
My daughter received two sets of these dolls, as gifts, when she was 4. They do make a tasteful, fun-looking present. (Notice how many positive reviews are from the gift-givers, not parents!) However, the fun is short lived. Here's why:
1. They don't work all that well. The dolls don't stand up in their stands. The clothes fall off and don't fit well into their box for clean-up time. It's frustrating.
2. The dolls aren't very fun to imagine with because of their shape can't stand up, sit down or bend over. They aren't a nice shape to cuddle with or carry around. So, they don't work as dolls to play with, only to look at.
3. Although there are a fair amount of clothes included, kids can't make any new ones. Making the clothes is really the fun and educational element of real paper dolls--not just putting the clothes on.
4. Lastly, after not all that much use, the magnetic backing pulled off the clothes. We ended up just tossing them.
So, what do I suggest? Just get out your art supplies and old magazines and have fun making paper dolls instead of buying these!

Wonderful & fun!Mar 08, 2006
I got this for my 3 year old niece. She loves it and requests that it go with her all the time. The box to hold all the pieces is handy, the magnets are easy and there's lots of variations of outfits. Having 2 dolls makes it easy for friends, parents etc to play along and interact. The only cons I see is that the box with all the pieces is a bit heavy, it could use a handle. And the magnets are strong but sometimes the pieces slip a bit. All in all, a great gift and toy!

Great for twins!Oct 19, 2005
I bought this item for my twin daughter's 3rd birthday. They loved it!! I also purchased a true paper doll set for my 5 year old and she prefers to play with this set instead. Wonderful that it comes with 2 dolls, they each have their own doll and there is plenty of clothes to divide up between them.

 Not as good as the usual Melissa & DougJun 14, 2005
I am a HUGE Melissa & Doug fan... we have many, many of their toys and pieces. However, this one didn't quite do it for me like the others. The stands were useless. The clothes didn't "stay" on.
I usually opt for these and other wooden, durable toys because my girls are hard on their things. When they play they go all out and these dolls just didn't stand up to the test.
I suppose if a child was more quiet and subdued, playing with these in the typical "paper doll" fashion, there would have been no problem. My girls expected to be able to move and interact while playing... letting the dolls "work" or "play" in the manner they were dressed (walk across the table like a model, hike up the arm of a chair in hiking boots and walking shorts...).
I still like these toys. I still will continue to buy Mellisa & Doug items as they are more than worth their salt in the durability and imaginative category. This one just fell a bit short of Meliisa & Doug's standard, but was still lightyears ahead of any other competition!
