This is a MUST HAVE for all Dora fans. They are the most played with thing in my home, for the one reason there size. These 3" little figurines are the perfect size for small hands to grab and play with. If you're like me and go out with the kids a lot they are small enough to fit in your purse. This way they have something to play with at the restaurant or at the doctors office that isn't covered in sick child germs.
This set was my daughter's first, I bought it for her 2nd birthday, we are coming up on number 4 and they are still in great shape. Dora has a green and purple striped party hat, boots has helium balloons and a present, and swiper just swiped a piece of cake. It also comes with a blue birthday cake on a round table.
They are made out of plastic and very durable. In almost 2 years they have very little of the paint worn off. There are no moving parts so there is nothing to break off. Non of this type of Dora figurines we have has ever broken.
I encourage imaginative play and playing on your own. These are perfect, my daughter sits and makes up elaborate stories between all the characters. Today I took her to work and she played with the boots from the soccer set and the Dora from this set. I was worried she was bothering other people, but everyone thought it was so cute to listen to.
The versatility is another great quality about these figures. They have played in the Dora house, the Little People house, my Little Ponies, Little People, Barbies, Spiderman, Batman, and countless other toys to make up wonderful imaginary worlds.
With all the kids that have come through our care they have seen a lot of action. From 2 year old girls and boys to 4 year old boys and 8 year old girls have enjoyed countless hours with these figurines.
I have gotten my money out of these toys over and over again. If my daughter could only keep one toy it would be these because they don't need anything else to be fun, just imagination!!
