DC SuperHero Girls Toddler Dolls from Jakks Pacific {review}
We were kindly sent three of the new DC SuperHero Girls Toddler Dolls from Jakks Pacific to review at home! My 5 year old loves dolls but we’ve never reviewed a toddler doll before. I didn’t really know what a toddler doll was, but it’s a slightly larger doll than you would give to an…
