Classic Tiny Tears Interactive review

You’ve probably guessed I have a huge amount of nostalgia for my own childhood and toys. I would have kept all my old toys if I could for my own children to play with and enjoy. I loved my dolls and my daughter does too. When I was 4 I remember receiving a doll for Christmas. My mum made the dolls’ bed and blankets and I kept it for a long time.

If the very mention of Tiny Tears brings back fond memories then you’ll love the new refreshed range. As a first introduction to motherhood, generations of mums and grandmothers have grown up with Tiny Tears – and now Little Sis is too!

She was sent the Classic Tiny Tears Interactive doll, which combines the traditional doll with the latest technology. Press her belly to hear her laugh, cry or say ‘mamma’, or feed her with her drinking bottle and listen as she makes drinking sounds. When you’re done, take the bottle away to hear a satisfied burp!

Press the button on her back and she’ll cry real tears to show she needs some comforting. When it’s time for potty training, sit her down on her potty to see her ‘go’! The Tiny Tears Interactive comes complete with all the accessories to get motherhood off to a good start including bottle, bib, potty and nappy. Winner in the Best New Toy Awards at London Toy Fair, Tiny Tears Interactive is perfect for any little girl or boy.

Little Sis adores her Tiny Tears. Once I had freed her from the packaging she’s been playing with her non-stop and the interactive elements are a real bonus. Little Sis has been laughing at the noises Tiny Tears makes. They’re quite realistic and my daughter loves responding to whatever her doll needs. I was worried that the doll might be messy but it’s really not too bad and great for aiding imaginative play.
