Buying Toys For Your Kids

[khriseeee]

Just don't let your kids watch Coraline or they'll never touch the dolls again hehe. I showed the dolls to my hubby and he didn't want me to buy any of them, reminded him of Coraline daw.

My 5yo daughter recently Lang Nya na enjoy her lallaloopsy she received Christmas last year. She finds it too heavy for her. Plus yung head Hindi steady. One time she got so frustrated cause the head won't stay put.

[sachism]

The m&d magnetic dolls are nice. Bought it when my daughter was around 2yo pero she only started enjoying playing with it when she was 4yo.

i'll give her M&D Wooden Toys as part of her 12 days of Christmas gifts

Thanks, but i wanted to know if they are sturdy as i read amazon reviews that they chip easily

we dont have the blocks. mga musical instruments lang. OK naman.

Parang the Laloopsy dolls cater more to adults tastes 'no? Naku-cute-an din ako dyan, but my daughter's not even giving them a second glance at the toy stores, so di ko rin binibili.

Same for V. Kahit i-offer ko, ayaw nya

Thanks, Khriseee, but I want the hard doll eh naccutean talaga ako. Found one sa ebay na for 58, cheaper, pero I'm still thinking about it. My daughter is 6 months, so mas matagal pa nya magagamit pero nagiincrease talaga price neto kasi nagiging rare so gusto ko na rin kuhanin. 

Just recently watched coraline, ang cute! haha. Not yung dolls, yung art in general. ang pinaka-nagustuhan ko was yung pink house, sobrang aliw yun kung may ganun na dollhouse. The closest would be the Melissa and Doug classic victorian heirloom dollhouse.

khriseeee, nung una ko ngang nakita 'yan, sabi ko, "Uy, Coraline doll!" Nung tiningnan ko na sa malapit ibang brand pala. Hehe. Sana magustuhan rin ng daughter ko paglaki-laki nya.

[khriseeee]

I love Coraline! one of my favorite movies! Everyone in my family is freaked out by it but I love it. I wanted my daughter's second name to be Coraline, hubby of course refused.

i agree, i bought abby and emma magnetic dolls for my 3yo dau so far enjoy na enjoy na siyang laruin. she also likes wooden birthday cake. nakakatuwa lang everytime she palys with this, nag bloblow talaga siya. lol!
 
@clueless, oo nga sis grabe ka mag hoard sa lalaloopsy halos lahat na ata ng toys!    siguro pag 4yo ni bea magcocollect na rin ako ng lalaloopsy! 

[clueless]

Ally, if it's the large lalaloopsy that your daughter has, heavy nga yan. I dont know why the head has to be that heavy. I thought my daughter would like the littles more kasi smaller and light but she prefers the minis. As in she plays with her dolls when she wakes up and befire she goes to bed. She even takes some with her when she takes a bath. That's why i'm super happy kasi at least she likes them. I've also shown her the webisodes from youtube and we have the lalaloopsy movie. Paulit paulit! Her tv time has actually lessened because she spends more time playing with the dolls now.

Blairbunny, natatakot ako kay bea. I find her blue eyes creepy. Pati kay mango tiki wiki because if her green eyes. but that's just me. My dhna and snowy are also still in the US. My brother hasnt been able to send the box. He lives in NY and was affected by the storm. Next week pa daw pickup ng box. Do you like silly hair? Bea silly hair plus specs bundle only 51+ at littletikes.com.

Beatrize zuri, may konti pa akong kulang na mini lalas. I will get them sa next box ko. the special edition ones (ie easter, halloween, christmas target exclusives) will never be opened.

Excited ako sa magnetic dolls ng m&d. I have amazon gift cards to use pa. Yey!

[blairbunny]

^haha, actually wala si Bea sa initial list ng gusto ko. I really wanted Peanut and Tippy. Pero nung minsang na-zoom ko yung clothes ni bea, natuwa ako sa details. Naggrow lang sya sa akin . Kanina, I was searching sa ebay, I found a $65 Tippy and $58 Bea pero ewan mas gusto ko si Bea talaga, pero hindi ko pa rin inorder. Gusto ko rin si Tippy, pero ayaw ko gumastos ng $123 for 2 lalaloopsies!

Sino oldest lalaloopsy mo?

[clueless]

^ i only have a few of the large ones. Minis talaga ang mas gusto ko. I have series 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 complete. Bubuuin ko pa yung 4, 5, 6. I think mga 10-12 pa kulang ko. I als havecall the playsets, the 2 carry cases, ferris wheel, bus, 1 rc car.

Sa large, i have pix e, toffee, prairie, snowy, dyna, cinder, charlotte, rosy, ivory ice crystals, the jungle sisters. Sa littles i have twinkle, sew cute patient and trouble. I want to get sherri charades but she comes with the hirse rocker kasi, which i dont want. Then i have soft dolls spot and pix e. i'm thinking of getting silly hair pix e para i will have all the pix e variants. She's my favorite lala.

So yeah, madami nga. Haha.

Nakakahinayang bumili ng toys lalo na sa mga kids ko. Since baby palang panganay ko nun bili ako ng bili ng laruan nya nga 2k+ plus worth pa. Pinakamahal was elmo almost 7k sa una niya lang gusto minsan nilalaro niya pero madali talaga magsawa plus yun batteries pa ni elmo na super dami waah ! Next yun electric car niya ngayon bihira magamit tyaka wala pang charger. Recently labg na kabibili ko electric motor bike naman tyaka yun kotse kotsehan. Buti nalabg may bunso pa ko nagagamit na yun mga old toys pero bihira din

Clueless, it was my husband who chose the lallaloopsy not knowing it will be that heavy. But even though she dislikes it, she chose the mermaid lallaloopsy (Coral ba yung name?) as part of her gift registry in Rustan's. btw, I sent an inquiry in your store's fb page. 

My 5yo now is into Barbies. Her latest request now is the Popstar Princess. She likes too the Hello Kitty playsets. Might get her the block set for Christmas

Btw, how  do you organize your kids' toys? I'm getting quite OC and the yaya can't keep up with the mess. Di rin niya matandaan on how I want the toys organized & shelved, despite me assigning boxes na for each type of toy (I asked her once if she didnt watch ba Batibot at di niya alam yung "pagsama-samahin ang magkakatulad..."). Di naman Puwede araw araw ako ang mag-aayos

[clueless]

^ i saw it, sis. Thanks. I replied to your post na din.

I have ikea trofast bins for light toys. That's 6 bins total na different sizes. Then we have wall shelves in her room for boxed toys na i havent opened yet and for her stffed toys. We also have a toy chest.

For her m&d puzzles, we have an m&d wire rack then her mini lalaloopsies are all in the carry case.

The bulky toys like yungdoll stroller, shopping cart etc are beside the daybed in her bedroom, which is actually more like her playroom since she only takes naps there and sleeps with us at night.

Yea, coral yung mermaid. I'm thinki gof getting one nga. Showed it to my daughter when we were at rustans last week. Ayaw nya, she went straight to the minis and ignored the large and littles dolls.

[yapeegurl]

Meron din ang 4yr old son ko ng M&D Wooden Dolls. Si Joey ang sa kanya. Hindi niya masyado ito nilalaro. He had this when he was 2. I'll take it out again at baka interested na siya ngayon. Pansin ko kasi meron toys na hindi niya pinapansin, say nung 1-2yrs old siya, which he enjoys now that he's 4.

[beatrize zuri]

im so happy! when i saw bea's reaction after opening her assembled life size kidkraft bright deluxe kitchen last christmas its priceless talaga! my two boys naman received ipad3 from us, their reaction was so funny! ayaw kaming tigilan kakakiss, but i told them na they can only use it if its weekend or summer and they agree naman. being a parents to this wonderful kids are the best things in the world!

[clueless]

it was indeed pricless to see our kids' reactions when they open their christmas presents. our efforts in getting these are all worth it. 

my daughter enjoys her lutu-lutuan accessories more than the kitchen itself. di pa niya alam ang concept ng cook but she always puts play food on the lates and pretends to eat them and share them with us - very typical.

pero ang mas hinahanap pa din niya - lalaloopsy. haha.

[beatrize zuri]

^true enough. sabi ko nga kay husband di ako maluho sa sarili ko pero when it comes to my kids lagi akong over the budget  .

Sis beatrice i think you mean priceless ot worthless hehe

My daughter liked her lalaloopsy spot soft doll, she kissed it and carried around the little zebra. Can't wait to get theother 2 i ordered!! We are in Hk now and checking out toys r us

Super cute too, she's been carrying around elmo all the time when she's practicing walking

[stormy]

Hay swerte ng mga mommies na type ng kids nila ang lalaloopsy

Lala kasi isa sa gifts ko sa daughter ko xmas 2011 d nya masyadong type. Kahit ngayon na sobrang sikat ng lala hindi nya pa rin type.

May isang box kami ng mga toys na hindi nagustuhan ng anak ko kahit sya nagpabili sa iba dun. Kaya hindi ako masyado bumibili muna ng toys sa ngayon. Excited lang kasi sa simula tapos wala na deadma na.
