We’re really enjoying Dora and Friends: Into the City!. Little Sis is now 3 and I think Into the City reflects the world that she is growing up in. She received some of the wonderful new Dora and Friends toys to review. These included the new Dora and Friends 8″ dolls, Dora and Friends Magic Charm bracelet, Dora Magic Adventure Charms and Dora and Friends Toy Smartphone.
We’ve had great fun making our own charm bracelets, just like Dora. We liked the fact Little Sis was able to choose which charms she wanted to use and put them on herself. The Dora and Friends Magic Charm bracelet and Dora Magic Adventure Charms complement each other really well.
Little Sis has also been having fun with the Dora and Friends Talk and Play Smartphone. The smartphone looks just like Dora’s on the television show. You can hear music from the show and phrases from Dora and friends and also pretend to take photos and use the Map App!

Dora seems to have a lasting appeal to children, I can remember when my daugher would watch show after show
I can’t believe Dora is still a thing, she would be so much older now if it wasn’t a cartoon! This toy looks awesome 😀 x
