MY THOUGHTS

Since I have a huge My Little Pony fan who loves to be creative, the New Pop line seemed perfect for her.  The My Little Pony Pop line lets you put together your own pony together and then decorate it.  The kit is just snaps together and was easy enough for my oldest daughter to put together herself.  She had a lot of fun decorating it and wished she could decorate more.

Of course once it is decorated, she has a new pony to play with and enjoy.  There are more kits that have more than one kind of hair with them and other kits that come with like a playset as well.  So there is definitely a kit for every little girl on your list this Holiday season.

The starter kit shown here can be found on Amazon.com and at stores that sell toys nationwide.  Right now this kit is an add-on at Amazon and is only $ 3.19.  So be sure to grab some of the newest My Little Ponies for the girls on your list.

2014 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE - DOHVINCI FLOWER TOWER PICTURE FRAME kit review

MY OPINION

My family and I are huge fans of Play-Doh so I was really excited when I heard of the new Dohvinci line.  My two daughters love arts and crafts projects so they were super excited to help me review the Flower Tower Picture Frame.  

My first warning or tip is to go easy on the "paint".  The tubes are not refillable and if you have a really heavy hand with it, you could run out or put too much in one spot to make it heavy.  Now my daughters are well in the age range and could definitely do this by themselves.  However I did help them for fear of a heavy hand.  When the tubes of "paint" start to get low, they can get hard to squeeze so some kiddos may need help.

My daughters loved decorating the frame and had a blast.  My oldest did compare it to cake decorating which I think is a very good comparison.  I do have concerns with the Play-Doh chipping off so I have told my daughters to be careful with it.  

Along with the flower tower picture frame, there are several other kits in the Dohvinci line to choose from.  You can order the picture frame kit from Amazon.com for $ 9.74 and of course find it where toys are sold nationwide.  So be sure to grab a kit if you have a little girl who loves being creative!
