Constructive Playthings Todays Girl Doll Giveaway

Constructive Playthings sent me two Todays Girl’s Dolls and a super cool Horse With Western Saddle and Outfit to check out and giveaway to a lucky reader just in time for the holidays.  As you can see the horse was a hit with my son. The dolls… not so much but that has more to do with my son than the dolls.

What we loved :

The horse who has been named ” Giddy-O” is amazingly sturdy,  he flies down cliffs ( the stairs)  over and over as my cowboy rescues him and he looks as good as new.  What I liked about the dolls was the diversity of ethnicities, I know this is pretty standard but the subtleties of the differences is what got me.  With only a few dolls to choose from I really feel like most girls could get a doll that reflected themselves without having to get a costly custom doll. I also liked that the dolls come with 3 outfits, you aren’t forced to spend more when times are tough enough.

What we didn’t like:

They aren’t terribly cuddly. I don’t think they are meant to be but as a girl, I slept with ALL my dolls, my son sleeps with his one and only doll and these are too hard to even try.  I am sure this won’t bug most kids who are looking to dress them up and play pretend but for snugglers like us, it was a bummer.

Want one? I am giving one Today Girl Doll away!  But that’s not all, I am also giving away a Horse With Western Saddle & Outfit too.

How to Enter:

Visit Constructive Playthings and tell me which Today’s Girl you like.

That’s it !

This contest is open to American residents . The winner will be chosen by random.org on December 6th at 9pm PST. I was provided with the toys in return for the review, opinions are all mine ( and my son’s). I was not compensated with payment for this post.

    My 2 little girls look totally different — the older one has brown hair/brown eyes and the younger has blonde hair/blue eyes. So….I guess that means I like BOTH the Katie and Emma dolls equally! 😉

  60. Sarah Marchese says

    November 28, 2010 at 4:19 pm

    I think I would have to go with the Katie doll. It’s the doll that looks the most like my daughter and I think she would like it the most.
    Thanks!
